Rebel Foods has appointed cofounder Ankush Grover as the global CEO in a major leadership restructuring ahead of its planned IPO.
All core business functions—technology, finance, marketing, and HR—will now directly report to Grover, streamlining global operations.
Jaydeep Barman, previously leading the company, will now take on the role of chairman and group CEO while continuing to mentor the leadership team.
Grover, an IIT Bombay and NIT Jamshedpur alumnus, joined Rebel Foods in 2012 and became India CEO in 2023.
This move signifies the company's focus on strengthening its executive leadership to navigate global expansion and public listing.
In February 2025, Rebel Foods launched ‘QuickiES’, entering the 15-minute food delivery space with brands like Faasos and Wendy’s.
QuickiES operates across 70 Indian cities through 350 kitchens, fulfilling around 2.5 lakh orders daily.
Rebel Foods has raised over $773 million in funding from top-tier investors including Temasek, Peak XV Partners, and Qatar Investment Authority.
Financially, the company narrowed its net loss to INR 378.2 Cr in FY24, a 42% reduction from the previous year.
Rebel Foods also achieved a 19% increase in operating revenue, reaching INR 1,420.2 Cr in FY24, indicating strong business growth momentum.
