About 7th Heaven

Since its launch in 2011 by Arjun Chugh, 7th Heaven has grown into India’s largest bakery franchise, with more than 350 outlets across 125 cities. Known for its innovative live kitchen concept, the brand allows customers to watch freshly prepared cakes and desserts being created in as little as seven minutes.

Its extensive menu includes 3D designer cakes, cupcakes, macarons, doughnuts, tarts and savoury dishes such as burgers, pizzas and sandwiches.

7th Heaven entered the UK market through Lime Licensing Group, opening its first location in Reading in September 2025. The brand has since expanded to Horsham, Wandsworth, Ashford and Rugby, with further franchise locations planned.

Franchisees can choose from three formats - Classic, Plus and Café - supported by a turnkey package including equipment, chef training, recipes and operational support. Opportunities are available for hands-on operators and passive investors, with no previous industry experience required.
