Following exit of the Kolkata-based Dhanukas of the Dhunseri group from the restaurant business in India, Chandra Kumar Dhanuka, Chairman, Dhunseri Ventures Ltd, has said that the focus now is “on growing the cakes and confectionery vertical in Singapore”.
Dhunseri operates in the segment through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Twelve Cupcakes Pte, where it had acquired a majority stake in 2017 as a part of its diversification exercise. Twelve Cupcakes is expected to generate profits for FY21 (to be included in consolidated results of Dhunseri Ventures) and is expected to have a topline contribution of ₹65-70 crore (Singapore $12-13 million).
