Impresario's Amlani: Rs 800 cr empire built on depth over sprawl

Riyaaz Amlani's 22-year-old Impresario runs 70+ outlets across Social, Mocha and Smoke House Deli, targeting sub-30-month RoCE and 15-20% store EBITDA. The bet: deepen tier-1 presence and selectively scale Mocha into 20+ tier-2 markets, rather than chase pan-India expansion.
