How L'opera is Growing from a French Dream to a Pan-India Reality

L'opera, Delhi-based french patisserie and bakery chain, has set an ambitious target of opening 66 outlets by 2025.

With new locations planned in key Tier I cities; including Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, and Chennai. 

Additionally, the brand aims to add 200 more outlets within 7 to 8 years, signaling an aggressive foray into Tier II and III cities.

“This strategic expansion is backed by a clear market opportunity to meet the rising demand for premium, European-style cafe experiences outside traditional metro hubs,” shared Kazem Samandari, Co-Founder and Executive Founder, L’opera.

Revenue Projections and Growth Forecast

L'opera expects to achieve a 20x increase in revenue compared to its current earnings. This growth projection is aligned with its geographic expansion plans and product innovation roadmap. 

“We organized a soft launch at the Chanakya Mall in Delhi, focusing on high-end, experiential retail formats located in luxury settings,” added Samandari.

Competitive Pricing Model

Despite using premium ingredients like avocado, salmon, and blue cheese, L'opera maintains a price point 20–30 percent lower than similar offerings at five-star hotels. 

“This pricing strategy ensures accessibility without compromising quality, catering to affluent yet value-conscious consumers,” Kazem emphasized.

Leadership and Culinary Vision

The brand recently unveiled a new collection of gourmet canapes under the creative direction of Chef Amelie Duthel, a Michelin-trained chef from Aix-en-Provence, France. The selection includes a mix of Feuilletes, Tapas, and Mini Pastries, crafted with precision and originality.
