True Palate Hospitality, the company behind One8 Commune, Neuma and Pincode, is targeting 50 outlets and revenue of ₹900–1,000 crore by 2030. With around 20–22 outlets currently operating across India and international markets, the company plans to expand its restaurant portfolio over the next five years with a planned investment of ₹30–40 crore.

As part of its expansion plans, One8 Commune has signed projects in Guwahati, Dehradun and Raipur. The Guwahati outlet will mark the brand's entry into Northeast India. Pincode is also preparing to expand its domestic presence, with signed projects in Surat and Ahmedabad. Meanwhile, Neuma is exploring further opportunities, including a potential location in Goa. The company is also evaluating markets where its existing brands have shown promising performance.

True Palate Hospitality recorded revenue growth of more than 40% during its earlier expansion phase between 2022 and 2024. Its current year-on-year growth stands at approximately 15–20%. Going forward, the company plans to focus on carefully selecting markets, strengthening its teams and improving operational capabilities to support long-term growth.

Commenting on the expansion plans, Vartik Tihara, Co-Founder and Director, True Palate Hospitality, said, "Our ambition is to build a portfolio of hospitality brands that can grow across markets while retaining a distinct identity and a strong connection with their audiences. We are targeting 50 outlets over the next five years, with a revenue ambition of ₹900–1,000 crore by 2030. Our focus is on expanding our existing brands in a way that makes commercial sense, identifying the right markets and ensuring that each format has room to grow. We see opportunities across both established and emerging dining destinations, and our priority is to scale thoughtfully while building a sustainable business."

The planned investment of ₹30–40 crore will support new outlet development and strengthen the company's operational and leadership capabilities. Markets such as Goa, Surat and Ahmedabad are among those being considered for further expansion as the company looks to balance growth with commercial viability.

Aditi Tihara, Senior Vice President, True Palate Hospitality, highlighted the importance of operational readiness as the company enters new markets. She said, "Scaling a hospitality business requires much more than opening new locations. Every expansion involves identifying the right talent, training teams, establishing robust operating processes and ensuring that the experience associated with each brand translates consistently on the ground. One8 Commune, Neuma and Pincode each have a distinct identity, audience and operating model, and our approach must reflect those differences while maintaining the standards guests expect. As we enter new markets, our priority is to build the operational capabilities that allow us to grow sustainably, maintain quality across locations and keep the guest experience at the centre of every decision."

The company is also considering a combination of company-owned outlets and franchise-led models for future growth. The approach will depend on individual projects, market conditions and commercial viability, allowing True Palate Hospitality to manage its investments while expanding its brands across different markets.

Beyond restaurants, the company is developing its experiential entertainment offering through Commune Circus, a hospitality-led intellectual property that brings curated entertainment experiences to its outlets. The initiative features personalities from cricket and the entertainment industry, giving guests opportunities to interact with them in an intimate setting. The tour has travelled across One8 Commune locations in Aerocity, Delhi; Juhu, Mumbai; Goa; and Golf Course Road, Gurugram.

With its focus on expanding its restaurant portfolio, strengthening operations and exploring new business models, True Palate Hospitality is working towards its 2030 targets while building on the distinct identities of One8 Commune, Neuma and Pincode.
