Nov 2025SecondaryGeneral Atlantic (lead)$280M$4BBalaji Wafers is a Gujarat-based packaged snacks company founded in 1981, offering over 65 products including chips, noodles, namkeen, and confectionery, with a strong presence in central and western India through 1,225 dealers and exports to 25 countries. General Atlantic acquired a 7% stake for INR 2,500 crore (USD 282 million), valuing the company at INR 35,000 crore (USD 4 billion) in a transaction reported in November 2025 and finalized by January 2026. The deal, driven by the next generation of the Virani family, aims to bring strategic capital for scaling, expansion, and innovation. In FY24 (year ended March 2024), Balaji Wafers reported revenues of INR 5,453.7 crore (USD 610 million), up 11% year-on-year, and profit of INR 578.8 crore (USD 65 million). The company had previously considered divesting around 10% at a higher valuation near INR 40,000 crore. This investment highlights strong global interest in India's packaged snacks sector, amid rising urbanization and demand for convenient foods, following deals like Temasek's $1 billion investment in Haldiram’s. General Atlantic, managing $118 billion in assets, focuses on high-growth consumer businesses and has a portfolio in India including Reliance Retail and PhonePe. Balaji Wafers plans an IPO in about five years and will use the funds to strengthen corporate functions and accelerate pan-India expansion.
