We’d like to clarify some excitement stirred up by an “exclusive” report published by Entrackr on July 17th, 2025, claiming that Burger Singh has successfully raised Rs 47.15 crore in a fresh funding round.
We’re flattered. Truly. But unfortunately, and quite factually, that’s not true. Not yet, at least.
What’s been interpreted as a celebratory financial five-wicket haul is, in reality, just a coin toss. The article relies on a MGT-14 filing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), a standard regulatory form that allows us to offer shares to potential investors. It’s the corporate equivalent of listing your house on 99acres. It simply means: we’re open for business.
It does not mean the house is sold, the money is in the bank, and we’re lighting cigars with ₹2000 notes.
To use a cricket analogy, every Indian is still carrying the emotional baggage from that Lord’s Test — this is like reporting that India had won the match right before Siraj took guard against Shoaib Bashir’s second-last ball of the 75th over.
Sometimes the ball trickles back and knocks off the bails. And so do your hopes.
It was brutal. And just like that moment, calling a win too early only makes the heartbreak worse.
Legally speaking, a MGT-14 is a pre-offer document, not a receipt. It’s an invitation. The investors still have to say yes, transfer the funds, and sign on the dotted line. None of that has happened yet. So any report implying otherwise is premature and frankly, misleading.
“If listing a share offer means we’ve raised the money, then by that logic, every bachelor on Shaadi.com is already married. And I suppose I’m also the Maharaja of Jaipur just because I looked at a palace on Google Maps last week.”
— Kabir Jeet Singh, Founder & CEO, Burger Singh
We admire journalistic enthusiasm, but jumping the gun based on regulatory filings without confirming actual transactions is, to put it gently, trigger-happy reporting. It’s like reviewing a restaurant based solely on the smell wafting from the kitchen.
For the record, the journalist did reach out via WhatsApp. Unfortunately, Kabir receives more unknown-number WhatsApps than a housing society aunty gets forwarded videos during Navratri. If he stopped to reply to all of them, that’s all he’d be doing all day.
We’ll announce the fundraise when it’s real.
