- Galaxy Cloud Kitchens Limited (GCKL.BO) operates a chain of retail supermarkets under the Galaxy Supermarket brand in North India, primarily in Haryana; it supplies fresh food products to retail, institutional, and HORECA segments through its commissaries network, offering white-label solutions to third-party outlets including KFC, Burger King, Birdya's, Taj Group, and WH Smith. The company manufactures and distributes core food categories such as bakery items including breads, buns, baked munchies, savories, and cookies; confectionery products encompassing pastries, desserts, cakes, tea cakes, muffins, cupcakes, and brownies; dairy products like cottage cheese and beverages; HMC items comprising batters, dips, flatbreads, and takeaway meals; eggs and non-vegetarian products such as fish, poultry, red meat, and value-added eggs; as well as snacks including sandwiches, chilled pizza, party packs, regional snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Mumbai, India, Galaxy Cloud Kitchens Limited originally began as Sifa Trading Company Limited, renamed Galaxy Entertainment Corporation Limited in 2000, and adopted its current name in February 2019; its equity shares trade on the BSE Limited. In a major strategic shift during 2024, the company exited its cloud kitchens operations following the successful pilot launch of its first Galaxy Supermarket store in Ladwa, Haryana on April 18, pivoting exclusively to the organized retail supermarket sector dealing in FMCG products, groceries, dairy, household necessities, and curated private labels as a one-stop shop for consumers in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities; it now operates multiple stores across Haryana and plans further expansion into other Indian states while pursuing a name change to better align with its supermarket focus.
