Koriken has raised ₹4 crore in a seed funding round led by Rukam Capital. This marks the company’s first institutional funding as it plans to expand operations across India.
The capital will be used to enter additional cities, upgrade kitchen and delivery infrastructure, and develop new menu offerings. The company will also invest in brand building and team expansion to support growth.
Founded in 2022 by Hasan Patel, Koriken focuses on Korean street food for Indian consumers. It currently operates multiple outlets in Bengaluru, including Koramangala, HSR Layout, Whitefield, and Frazer Town. The brand offers dine-in, takeaway, delivery, and no-contact delivery services through platforms such as Zomato.
Going forward, Koriken plans to expand its flagship and high-street outlets, launch new products, and build systems to improve service speed and consistency. The company also intends to adapt Korean flavours to Indian consumption preferences as it scales nationwide.
