Kochi-based EPSRR Holdings has signed an agreement with UK-based Axton Capital to expand its food and beverage business into Sri Lanka and Oman. The partnership aims to scale operations in Colombo and Muscat through Axton subsidiary J M Robertson & Company. As a private, unlisted company, EPSRR Holdings does not have publicly traded shares.
EPSRR Holdings Private Limited, a firm based in Kochi, has signed a memorandum of understanding with UK-based Axton Capital to develop and grow its food and beverage ventures. This agreement is a strategic effort to bring the Indian firm’s food brands into international markets, specifically targeting Sri Lanka and Oman.
The expansion will be managed through J M Robertson & Company Limited, a subsidiary of Axton Capital. This subsidiary brings operational history to the partnership, as it is one of the older coffee trading firms in the region, dating back to 1845. It currently manages the 'Department of Coffee' brand in Sri Lanka and Oman, which provides an existing network for EPSRR to scale its operations. The partnership's immediate focus is to establish a presence in the cities of Colombo and Muscat, with potential for further growth in other international territories.
EPSRR Holdings is known for its involvement in the domestic food and beverage sector through its investments in Club Sulaimani Food & Beverages LLP. This entity manages local brands like Club Sulaimani and CS Signature, and is currently working on 'EPSRR Le Bistro' for global markets. Company leadership, including Chairman Riyas Kalliyath and CEO Anand R. Iyer, stated that this is a first step toward expanding their brand footprint into international regions, including the GCC, Europe, and the United States.
Since EPSRR Holdings is a private, unlisted company, there is no ticker symbol, and its shares are not available for trading on public stock exchanges like the BSE or NSE. Investors interested in the company should note that because it is not listed, its financial performance, debt levels, and profit margins are not subject to the same public disclosure requirements as listed firms.
International expansion carries specific risks that stakeholders should understand. Operating in foreign markets like Sri Lanka and Oman introduces geopolitical and economic variables that can impact business stability. Furthermore, scaling a food and beverage business requires consistent quality control and local market adaptation. The success of this venture relies heavily on the operational execution of the partner, J M Robertson & Company, as well as the ability of EPSRR to manage its brands effectively across borders. Because financial data is not public, tracking the company's progress will depend on future updates regarding project milestones, new outlet openings, and official management statements.
