Wagh Bakri Tea Group launches Royale blend
The Ahmedabad-based over 130-year-old Wagh Bakri Tea Group on Tuesday launched the Royale blend, the group's first major product launch in the CTC, black tea category in nearly three decades. During the launch event, Wagh Bakri Tea Group Executive Director Paras Desai said that a month before the official unveiling, Royale was served at Wagh Bakri Tea Lounges in Gujarat, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, and Haryana, where customers embraced it 'wholeheartedly and praised its rich, satisfying experience'. Royale is crafted from '100% handpicked Assam tea leaves, combining high-grown long leaves with robust CTC teas. The result is a bold flavour, vibrant Kesari hue, and mesmerising aroma designed to satisfy discerning palates,' said a statement from the company. This blend will be priced at Rs 180 for 225 grams and Rs 360 for 450 grams. The rollout begins in Ahmedabad and Vadodara. 'Gujarat is home to Wagh Bakri. Starting here is a rational decision backed by our strong regional presence and robust distribution,' said Wagh Bakri Tea Group CEO Sanjay Singal. 'If you give quality to consumers, they will definitely come back,' he added. Singal noted that while Punjab and Jammu tops the list in per capita spending on tea, Gujarat and Maharashtra lead the premium tea segment. He added that the 'aspirational generation' is driving the premiumisation trend, with more customers willing to pay for superior products. 'Wagh Bakri Royale is our finest blend to date, a unique mix of tradition and innovation,' he said. With an annual turnover of Rs 2,000 crore and distribution of over 50 million kilograms of tea, Wagh Bakri has its roots in South Africa where Gandhian Narandas Desai started his first tea estate and launched it as the Gujarat Tea Depot.

Norwest Venture eyes a bite of Belgian Waffle
New Delhi | Mumbai: Global venture fund Norwest Venture Partners (NVP) is leading negotiations to buy into homegrown dessert and waffle chain The Belgian Waffle Co , after talks with ChrysCapital fell through last year, said people directly aware of the developments. A potential deal is expected to value Belgian Waffle at '350-500 crore, the people said. They did not disclose the size of the stake NVP is looking to buy. Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program "Fresh negotiations are underway with NVP, to sell minority equity in the business, since the promoters don't want to sell a majority stake as of now, which was why the deal with ChrysCapital did not work out," one of the persons said. "However, given that investor interest is picking up in the dining-out space and there are signs of revival in the sector, negotiations have been revived." Started in 2015 by entrepreneur couple Shrey and Alisha Aggarwal, Belgian Waffle's ownership rests with their company Bloombay Enterprises. It currently has about 650 stores operational in more than 200 cities across India. The chain reported revenue of Rs 225 crore in FY24, rising from Rs 148 crore in the previous year, according to company filings. Live Events "While Lighthouse Funds too has been in the fray to acquire a minority stake in Belgian Waffle, as of now NVP is leading the negotiations," said the person cited above. Backed by US financial giant Wells Fargo, NVP, an early to mid-stage fund, has invested in India in several sectors spanning consumer, healthcare, IT services and financial services. It includes companies such as Swiggy , Mensa Brands, Five Star Finance, and Amagi Media Labs. Belgian Waffle, NVP, and Lodha Capital Markets, which is handling the talks on behalf of the waffle chain, declined to comment. While most of its outlets are in the cafe format, Belgian Waffle also operates through kiosks and takeaways. Its operating structure is a mix of company-owned and franchisee-led formats. It also sells on Swiggy and Zomato . Belgian Waffle has also expanded to spreads and pre-mix categories, mirroring strategies of various quick service restaurants and cafe chains entering the ready-to-eat business to fuel sales in a subdued market. The potential Belgian Waffle deal would track homegrown private equity firm ChrysCapital acquiring around 85% stake in pan-India bakery chain Theobroma Foods for Rs 2,410 crore. Various specialised cafes and patisserie brands are entering India or adding new stores. These include Canada's Tim Hortons, Belgian chain Le Pain Quotidien, French patisserie brand Laduree, Reliance Brands-backed Armani/Caffe and Pret a Manger.
