Chalu Aapna Desi Chinese Begins Major Hiring Drive to Support National and Global Expansion

Chalu Aapna Desi Chinese, the popular Indo-Chinese chain known for blending Indian spices with Chinese flavors, is on a rapid growth path. With over 200 outlets in India and a recent entry into Canada, the brand plans to open 100 more by FY 2025–26—including 25 in Canada and several across Punjab and North India.

To support this expansion, the company is hiring 650 new team members between Feb 2024 and Mar 2026, across hospitality, operations, and marketing roles. With a current workforce of 500+, Chalu Aapna Desi Chinese is building a strong team to fuel its bold growth journey.

Vibhanshu Mishra, Founder of Chalu Aapna Desi Chinese said, "Opening new outlets is the simple part for us. What truly matters is creating teams that get our culture, honor our kitchen, and infuse every plate with real warmth and flavours of Indo-Chinese cuisine. Our aim is just not to recruit individuals, we're investing in personalities who can perform under stress, remain curious, and pay attention to the little things that make a great dining experience. If their efforts and hard work that's what brings guests back, regardless of where we open in the world.”

Chalu Aapna Desi Chinese is deeply committed to maintaining the highest standards of hygiene, cleanliness, and safety. This commitment drives a rigorous onboarding process and continuous upskilling, both central to employee induction. Staff isn’t just trained to serve—they’re empowered to deliver an experience that reflects the heart and hustle of Desi Chinese cuisine. From warm, engaging floor staff to sharp managers and creative marketers, every team member plays a vital role in delivering the signature #Bchalu experience as the brand expands across India and beyond.

After onboarding 150 team members between February and April 2024, the brand is set to hire 500 more by March 2026. But it’s not just about numbers—it’s about passion. Chalu is building a team of food lovers and service pros who bring authentic, memorable experiences from kitchen to table.

With a loyal customer base and an ambitious expansion plan, Chalu is focused on growing thoughtfully. Local hiring, hands-on training, and a people-first culture are at the core of this journey. As we expand globally, the brand is not just offering jobs—the brand is nurturing careers and uniting food enthusiasts into a vibrant, collaborative community.
