In this exclusive Paisa Vaisa episode, host Anupam Gupta sits down with Saga Kochhar, co-founder of Rebel Foods, the company that revolutionized the food industry with the cloud kitchen model.

This episode is a masterclass in business innovation, covering:

  • Cloud Kitchen Unit Economics: How the multi-brand playbook optimizes costs.

  • Data-Driven Brand Building: Using consumer insights to launch new brands.

  • The Power of Scalability: Ensuring food consistency with "de-skilled" recipes.

  • Pivoting for Success: The strategic decision to go all-in on cloud kitchens.

  • Entrepreneurship and Strategy: Advice on "intellectual honesty" and product-market fit.

  • Future of Food Tech: The grand mission to disrupt the global food industry.
