TenderCuts, India’s first omnichannel meat and seafood brand, has achieved profitability, becoming the first company in the country’s organised fresh meat retail sector to reach this milestone.

In August 25 the company reported Store Level EBIDTA of 10 per cent% and Overall EBIDTA of 1 per cent on revenue of Rs 5.6 crore. Year–over–year revenue growth for August stood at 40 per cent, marking a strong recovery and consistent upward momentum.

“We are proud to have achieved profitability, “said Sasikumar Kallanai, Co-founder and CEO, TenderCuts.  “This turnaround is the result of blending operational efficiency, offline trust, and tech-enabled convenience. TenderCuts is now on a disciplined path to scale, and ready to redefine how India experiences fresh meat and seafood.”

The company’s turnaround was driven by a cluster-first approach to expansion, a significant reduction in operating expenses, and improvements in sourcing and last-mile delivery efficiencies. This playbook places strong emphasis on unit-level profitability and operational accountability.

Key performance metrics- August 2025:

• Customer Acquisition Cost < Rs 85 – among the lowest in the category.
• 88 per cent Organic Traffic (across website, app, and retail)- reducing reliance on paid marketing.
• 85 per cent Monthly Repeat Purchase Rate – demonstrating high customer loyalty.
• 8 per cent Month-on-Month Growth in new unique transacting users over the last quarter without heavy marketing spends.

TenderCuts aims to consolidate its leadership in Chennai through 100 per cent local saturation and then expand into other cities across South India.  By March 2027, TenderCuts plans to operate 50 stores, up from the current 18, and become the largest omnichannel meat and seafood brand in India.
