First Principles

Rebel Foods was incorporated in 2015. Before that it was Faasos and Faasos has been around since 2004. But co-founder and CEO Jaydeep Barman says back in 2004 when he and his co-founder Kallol Banerjee started it, they didn't look at it as a means of living. It existed to some extent, primarily, to fulfil their own craving for good Calcutta rolls as Pune, where both of them were living at the time, didn't have any nice joints for the same.A few years after starting it both of them left it behind to go and do their second MBAs from INSEAD and after completing it Jaydeep went on to work for McKinsey in London and Kallol headed to Bosch in Singapore.But the dream of having their own company brought them back to Pune in 2011 and this time they were serious about making Faasos huge. They wanted to make it a QSR chain in the image of McDonald's and Dominos of the world, but catering to the Indian taste buds. They raised some venture capital and got a few angel investors and decided to fire up their journey to growing their store numbers and serving great food.But this journey hit a roadblock when they grew too fast and revenue didn't match up growth on a per store basis. This is when they had the first of their ‘lightbulb moments or epiphanies' as Jaydeep calls them.Infrastructure or setting up a restaurant on the high street was a fixed cost that made it hard for Rebel Foods to scale beyond a point. So they decided to enforce a change in how they do business by taking away this fixed cost component and just investing in making food in a kitchen ideally in a location where rent is low.This decision was aided by customer insight as well. When they ran a survey nearly 74% customers said they had never been to a Faasos outlet or they had been to it once. So they piloted the cloud kitchen or ghost kitchen concept, which meant you just have a kitchen which fulfils orders and no storefront or dine-in area, in Mumbai and it worked and they haven't turned back from there.There were two more lightbulb moments which have made Rebel Foods what it is today. What were those?Find out that and a lot more in this episode full of a lot of 2x2 matrix examples, possibly one of the most fun brand origin stories, how Rebel Foods became the world's largest Internet restaurant and priceless insights into the world of serving food without a restaurant that you and I can dine-in.Welcome to First Principles – The weekly leadership podcast from The Ken.Let's get started.If you want to know more about our Narrative Workshops – here is who are our trainers, what do we do and how we do it.

In 2011, when it was born as Faasos, Rebel Foods wasn't the cloud kitchen startup it is today. In fact, cofounders Kallol Banerjee and Jaydeep Barman had begun with the idea of setting up a high-street quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain selling wraps. So, what did Rebel Foods do differently to become India's first unicorn in the cluttered cloud kitchen market? In this exclusive interview, Kallol Banerjee recounts the journey and discusses the way forward. Here are the highlights of the Q&A:   Q. How does a Rebel Foods cloud kitchen function and what is the level of automation?   Rice for both Faasos and Behrouz Biryani cooked in the same kitchen We automate processes that are repetitive or require constant supervision We are designing machines that understand recipes The machine instructs the chef when to add ingredients Product experts, engineers and industrial designers automate kitchen processes   Q. What goes into making a good cloud kitchen business?   Cloud kitchens are low rental, but have to pay delivery charges Cloud kitchens can be relevant for different occasions and missions It works only when you understand digital branding Works only at scale, with multiple brands across several cities    Q. What has Rebel Foods done differently from its competitors?   Started life as Faasos with the QSR concept We thought we would be the McDonald's of India Encountered challenges like dearth of high-street locations, and high rentals Became delivery-only around 2014 – the first of our kind in India   Q. You have two brands in the Biryani segment in different price bands. What's the strategy?   Once you learn how to make Biryani, you can call it 10 different things There can be different quantities of meat and rice, slight variations in taste Typical FMCG play: Like P&G or HUL have many washing powder brands If someone tries to undercut Behrouz, I can fight the price war with The Biryani Life   Q. Your assessment of the Indian cloud kitchen market… India's cloud kitchen and restaurant market vastly underpenetrated compared to the US and China Cloud kitchen is a typical Indian leapfrog story We didn't have the infrastructure so we say forget dine-in Watch Video

Poisonous Snails and Our Cellular Membranes: Kallol Gupta Makes the Connection

Professor Kallol Gupta's research into natural peptides and receptors, specifically neurotoxins, lead him on a path towards the deep sea cone snail, which release neurotoxins particularly helpful in studying how our cellular membranes work. He explains Why the hydrophobic exterior of membranes are particularly hard to study and how a new technique with mass spectrometry has enabled a superior approach, What the "resolution revolution" of mass spectrometry enables researches to observe in protein and membrane interaction, and How this information is useful in the field of biology and also in developing drugs that address numerous physiological issues. Kallol Gupta  is an assistant professor of Cell Biology at Yale University and runs the Gupta Lab. He started his academic studies in chemistry and developed an interest in biology after studying the venom library of cone snails of the coast of India. Often called poisonous snails, they are actually venomous because they inject their prey with neurotoxins through a harpoon-like structure that houses a proboscis that's able to shoot out, sting, and inject. He became interested in how these toxins had fine-tuned their actions and were able to hijack animal physiology. He explains to listeners how mass spectrometry has opened the door to a much more thorough glimpse of this action on a cellular level.  He describes how these toxins bind to membranes. Like a bomb, the toxins throw a large number of compounds at the cell and a small number hit the target. But it's enough to effect the neurons of their prey. He adds that he wants to study what is special about the few that are able to bind with the membrane. If scientists like him want to target specific proteins, they can figure out how other organisms are already doing this in nature and learn from them.  Dr. Gupta tells listeners about the challenging environment of the lipid cell membrane and how they have figured out how to study it inside the mass spectrometer itself before it degrades and loses its nature. He adds why these studies are so important, from developing a fundamental understanding of biological functions to developing drugs that can appropriately bind to their target.

For the 2010 edition of Banga Sammelan at Atlantic City, New Jersey, the hosts Kallol took a novel decision of offering the prime time drama slot to their members instead of the usual practice of inviting theater troupes from overseas. The play "Ekti Gnaye Thaki", written and directed by Sudipta Bhawmik, portrays the unique story of bengali immigrants living in North America and a heart-warming sibling relationship. In this episode, listen to snippets from a rehearsal session as Sudipta and the cast share their feelings about the play.
