Do you believe in good korma? Do samosas give you all the fillings? If you take efficient growth and food seriously, but not yourself (and you enjoy a good pun), then we might have a job for you.
First, a little more about us. We are Deep Indian Kitchen®. You may have seen us in the frozen aisles of 20,000 natural and conventional grocery, mass, club, and drug stores or been to our chain of 3 fast-casual restaurants in NYC and NJ. Or, if you shop at Indian grocery stores, you know our parent company, Deep Foods Inc., as your trusted manufacturer and brand with over 800 SKUs. Our brand is on fire now but it hasn’t been long since late 2019, when we began a turnaround and rebrand of our Tandoor Chef® frozen brand and Indikitch® restaurants to Deep Indian Kitchen®. Our differentiated approach and products have made us the #1 fastest selling natural frozen entrees brand in America, with rapid household penetration growth, over 181K followers on Instagram and TikTok…we could go on. And we know it’s cliché to say “we’re just getting started,” but we don’t know of any other aspiring ‘platform brand’ that gets to pick and choose from an 800 SKU innovation pipeline.
