Do samosas give you all the fillings? Are you always in a curry? If you take efficient growth seriously, but not yourself (and you enjoy a good pun), then let’s talk more about us.

Deep Brands

Deep Brands is a team of impatient builders, where we all make a difference by elevating global cuisines, enabling cultural experiences at home, and enlightening through education. Our brands are Deep Indian Kitchen, a Bain & Co. US Insurgent Brand, and Tem Toa, the newly launched frozen Thai brand – but the foundation of our success is our team.

Our team enjoys moving fast, solving problems, and continually improving. At the same time, we show up for each other, have fun, and celebrate our wins. Perhaps most relevantly, our people are empowered to shape their careers and grow our business…and that’s where you might come in!
