About Us

At RASSENSE, our journey began with the belief that great food not only satisfies the mind but also enhances productivity. Rooted in the Sanskrit words “Ras,” meaning flavour, and “Sense,” representing holistic experience, each meal adds a distinctive “Ras” to your experience. Setting a unique precedent in the Indian food service industry, our company enjoys a nationwide presence across every segment. With the strategic reconstitution of CRCL LLP, our reach now extends seamlessly across the country.

As India’s largest domestically owned food service company, we bring wholesomeness and harmony to every partnership, celebrating the country’s diverse culinary landscape. Our value statement ‘Together is More’ isn’t just a slogan for us; it’s our guiding principle evident in every aspect of our operations. From leveraging cutting-edge technology and AI to elevate customer experiences, to pioneering employee ownership initiatives, to fostering warm relationships with our clients and farmers, unity drives our every decision. It encapsulates the essence of collaboration and partnership. It expresses a shared commitment to quality, ethics, and mutual business growth among employees, clients, vendors and various stakeholders.

MD and CEO

SANJAY KUMAR

“Sanjay Kumar, MD and CEO at Rassense, started his career with Marico and then was with Eureka Forbes before joining Shell where he spent over 18 years in different roles across India and the rest of the world. He was then appointed the CEO of Altran Technologies in India, part of the world’s largest engineering consulting firm. During his tenure there he grew the business to over 2600 engineers in 5 years while turning around the then loss making entity into one of the most profitable in the Altran Group. Following this success, Sanjay conceptualised and led the entry of Elior Group into India. Sanjay then moved on to start his entrepreneurial journey to promote Gamestacy Private Limited in the mobile gaming space by drawing on his technology experience in Altran and his professional entrepreneur journey in Elior. Gamestacy went on to be selected as one of the 30 companies globally to be in the Google Accelerator Program. However, despite these achievements, the venture failed.

Undeterred by this failure, Sanjay launched his next venture, Rassense Private Limited, in the food service space and undertook a LBO of CRCL LLP through a cash cum equity deal with funding from Spark Capital AIF. Rassense Private Limited has now divested ownership interest in its executive committee and emerged as India’s largest food service company.”
