Childhood friends and Co-founders Kabir Jeet Singh and Nitin Rana opened the first Burger Singh outlet at Suncity business towers in Gurgaon on 1st November 2014. Kabir Jeet Singh first got the idea for Burger Singh when he was studying at the University of Birmingham. Like many other Indian students studying abroad, he worked part time in a burger joint. Noticing the mundane flavours of the burgers, he began adding Indian spices to his burger patties. These burgers became increasingly popular among his peers which got him the label ‘Burger Singh’.
After his graduation he moved on to work at a multinational company, but the idea of starting his own burger chain always lingered in his mind. Within the first 1st year of starting, Burger Singh opened another 2 outlets in Gurgaon and further went onto expanding to Delhi NCR and then to North and West India. Burger Singh started franchising in 2017.
