We believe the next years will be the best yet for the organisation and we are excited to play a part in creating memories and inspiring happiness through food for our customers.”

K Hospitality Corp was founded by Mr. J.K. Kapur in the year 1972. Mr J.K. Kapur had migrated as a refugee during partition, and had launched the now legendary Copper Chimney in Mumbai in 1972, using his home-made recipes that he had been perfecting over the years. K Hospitality Corp today is the largest privately held hospitality & food service company in India with operations across QSR, restaurants, bars, food courts, banquets, catering and corporate food services. Over the past 5 decades, K Hospitality has launched more than 500 stores/restaurants, forayed into 6 business verticals, has domestic footprint in 19 cities as well as presence in international markets like Middle East, UK, South East Asia and Africa.

 

“We started our journey with the 1^st Copper Chimney outlet in Mumbai in 1972. Since then, thanks to the support and patronage of our guests, the company has grown from strength to strength, foraying into 6 business verticals across the F&B sector. As we look to the future, we will continue to invest in our QSR businesses with the launch of JOSHH, our answer to bridge the gap between MNC and homegrown Indian QSR brands, and scaling up our primary QSR business in airports and highways in the coming few years,” added Mr. Karan Kapur, Executive Director, K Hospitality Corp.

Built on the foundation of providing memorable high quality food experiences to their guests, the company has redefined its vision to ‘create memories and inspire happiness through food‘.

To commemorate this historic milestone of the group, Mr. Sunil Kapur, Chairman, K Corp Charitable Foundation also announced the group’s Meal for Meal initiative. He mentioned, “To give back to community that has given us so much over the years, throughout the month of November and December, we will be donating a meal to a child in need on behalf of every customer we serve in cities across India. We have partnered with the Akshay Patra Foundation and are committed to serving 5 lakh fresh, balanced and wholesome mid-day meals to children studying in Government Schools across the country. Our K Hospitality employees will also be cooking and serving meals to the needy in cities across India in partnership with the volunteer-based Robin Hood Army, as a way to commemorate our Golden Jubilee.”

Over the past 5 decades, the brand has undertaken many such initiatives to give back to the society and community including but not limited to serving over 1 million meals during COVID to migrant workers, front-line volunteers and the police, while supporting thousands of households in villages and tribal areas to fight hunger and malnutrition in their children.
