With the addition of Patna, Guwahati and Lucknow, ColdStar’s network will span 45 distribution centres across India, enabling the company to serve more than 109,000 pin codes nationwide and strengthen access to emerging consumption markets. The expansion forms part of the company’s broader growth strategy as it continues to invest in capacity closer to emerging consumption markets. ColdStar currently operates over one million square feet of warehousing infrastructure and expects to significantly expand its footprint during the current financial year, in line with growing customer demand across food, retail, healthcare, and quick commerce sectors.

“India’s consumption growth is increasingly being driven by markets beyond the metros, with demand becoming more distributed across the country. Our decision to invest in Patna, Guwahati and Lucknow is rooted in this long-term shift and forms part of our larger national expansion strategy. We are focused on building capacity wherever we see demand emerging, enabling greater proximity to consumption centres, reducing replenishment timelines and helping our clients scale with confidence. More importantly, these investments strengthen our ability to build supply-chain capacity ahead of demand rather than react to it. As supply chains continue to evolve, our objective is to ensure that customers and consumers in emerging markets have access to the same service standards and product availability that have traditionally been associated with Tier I cities,” said Sameer Varma, Executive Director, ColdStar Logistics, commenting on the expansion.

The company has launched a 20,000 sq. ft. facility in Kamrup, Guwahati, which will serve as a gateway to the Seven Sisters region and improve supply-chain access across Assam, Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, and neighbouring Northeastern states. In Uttar Pradesh, ColdStar has established a 10,500 sq. ft. warehouse in Unnao within the Lucknow-Kanpur Highway cluster, a key consumption and distribution corridor in North India. In Bihar, the company has launched a 5,000 sq. ft. facility in Anisabad, Patna, strategically located along the Grand Trunk Road corridor with access to the Gaighat river route, strengthening connectivity and enabling faster movement of goods across the region. Together, these facilities strengthen ColdStar’s ability to support customers operating across FMCG, dairy, confectionery, processed foods, healthcare, retail and quick-commerce sectors.

The cold-chain company powers the delivery of 2,400 SKU fresh orders across 262 outlets of the restaurants pan India with top speed and 99.85% accuracy keeping its freshness and zero stock-out promise every single day

Mumbai: April 23, 2026 – ColdStar Logistics, India’s leading temperature-controlled supply chain solutions provider has shared a long and fruitful 10+ year partnership with QSR operator Lenexis Foodworks, part of the Inspira Global group, one of India’s fastest-growing QSR operators. ColdStar has been managing the end-to-end cold chain operations of the company from primary transport, multi-temperature warehousing facilities and last mile deliveries across 262 outlets for brands like Chinese Wok, Big Bowl and The Momo Co., run by the QSR company.

Consolidating its long association with Lenexis Foodworks, ColdStar is now ready with a plan to support the company’s growth and expansion to 500+ stores pan India across these sub brands in the next 3 years.

“We first began working with Lenexis Foodworks over a decade ago. Over the years we have successfully anticipated new demand and adapted our services to meet evolving requirements. We moved from a part-fresh, part-warehousing model to a completely pre-packed frozen, chiller and dry distribution system for store deliveries. Consistency, zero stock out, freshness, speed and availability contribute to be our USPs for our partner. As Lenexis gears up for expansion over the next three years, we’ve anticipated the demand to come and are ready to double our capacity to over 500 stores,” says Sameer Varma, Executive Director, ColdStar Logistics.

ColdStar currently manages pan-India distribution through bi-weekly, weekly, and fortnightly replenishment cycles, ensuring uninterrupted supply across metro, Tier I/II and III markets. Its tech-enabled platform leverages AI/ML-based planning, route optimisation, real-time temperature monitoring, and predictive alerts, enabling proactive interventions and seamless execution. This partnership between ColdStar and Lenexis ultimately ensures consistent food quality and availability for consumers across markets.

“Supply chain is a critical enabler of scale in the QSR business. As Lenexis Foodworks expands towards 500+ stores, consistency, speed and reliability across markets become non-negotiable. Our partnership with ColdStar has played a key role in ensuring seamless operations and maintaining product quality at scale, and we see this collaboration continuing to be a strong growth enabler in the years ahead”, said Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal, Director, Lenexis Foodworks.

With Lenexis Foodworks planning to expand its footprint to 500+ outlets over the next three years, ColdStar is actively strengthening its infrastructure across cities and emerging consumption centres, reinforcing its role as a strategic supply chain partner for India’s modern QSR ecosystem.
