Amol Parashar joins MS Dhoni as investor in House of Biryan

MUMBAI: Actor Amol Parashar has invested in cloud kitchen brand House of Biryan, joining former India cricket captain M S Dhoni as a backer of the business.

Parashar, best known for his work in Tripling, Sardar Udham and Gram Chikitsalay, said the decision followed his long-standing familiarity with the brand rather than a conventional endorsement pitch. An IIT Delhi graduate, he positions the investment as a move towards deeper, equity-led brand associations.

The partnership was unveiled through a social media video featuring Parashar’s trademark humour. Unlike standard celebrity tie-ups, the actor has taken on an active creative role, including the launch of a limited-edition AP Menu curated by him and hosted on Swiggy and Zomato.

House of Biryan founder Mohit Goyal, said Parashar joined the company “as a partner, not a poster face”, adding that the collaboration had been organic rather than transactional. The brand views the association as strategically important as it scales its cloud kitchen footprint.

With Parashar and Dhoni on its cap table, House of Biryan is strengthening its investor profile with public figures known for long-term credibility rather than short-term visibility.
