Who Is Babah Ventures?

Babah Ventures Sdn Bhd is the company behind Bumbu Babah, one of Malaysia's fastest-growing F&B brands.


Founded in late 2024 by Ajak Shiro and a highly experienced management team with decades of combined experience in building and operating successful F&B brands, Babah Ventures was established with a clear vision:


To build a modern, scalable, Bumiputera-led F&B group capable of becoming a national and regional success story.


In a remarkably short period of time, Bumbu Babah has achieved:

  • More than 3 million nasi Padang dishes sold in first year
  • A Malaysia Book of Records achievement with over 23,000 plates served in a single day
  • Almost 60 outlets opened within 20 months
  • Over 300,000 registered members
  • More than 100,000 app downloads within the first month
  • Winner of AFTA Malaysia Restaurant of the Year
  • Branches continue to maintain an average of 4.5★ on Google Reviews


Our Targets (from a business perspective):

  • System revenue exceeded RM50 million in its first full year
  • Expected to surpass RM100 million in 2026
  • Targeting more than 80 outlets by the end of 2026


Bumbu Babah is also widely recognised for its strong customer demand, long queues at outlets, and consistently high customer ratings, with most outlets maintaining ratings above 4.5 stars on Google Reviews.

The Road Ahead

Our focus over the coming years includes:

  • Expanding to hundreds of outlets nationwide
  • Continuing to grow system revenue
  • Launching and scaling new brands
  • Expanding to regional opportunities
  • Building a stronger digital ecosystem through our app and membership platform

 

Long term, Babah Ventures aims to work towards a potential Initial Public Offering (IPO).

 

While no IPO can ever be guaranteed, we believe building a strong, profitable and scalable business creates the foundation necessary to pursue such an objective in the future.

What Is Equity Crowdfunding (ECF)? +

Equity Crowdfunding, or ECF, allows members of the public to invest in private companies through regulated online platforms in exchange for shares in the company.

 

In Malaysia:

  • ECF is regulated by the Securities Commission Malaysia
  • It is actively encouraged as part of the country's entrepreneurship and capital market development initiatives
  • Campaigns are conducted through licensed ECF platforms such as pitchIN

 

Through ECF, everyday investors can participate in the growth of promising businesses before they potentially become publicly listed companies.

Why Are We Launching An ECF Campaign? +

This campaign is about more than fundraising.

 

We believe the people who know and support Bumbu Babah best are our customers.

 

By opening this opportunity to them, we aim to:

  • Turn customers into shareholders
  • Turn shareholders into brand advocates
  • Build a nationwide community of owners
  • Create stronger engagement and loyalty
  • Accelerate our expansion plans

 

When customers become owners, they naturally become more invested in the success of the business.

 

As the business grows, they stand to benefit alongside us.

What Will Investors Own? +

By participating in the ECF campaign, investors become shareholders of Babah Ventures Sdn Bhd, the holding company of the group.

 

This means investors gain exposure to:

  • Existing Bumbu Babah outlets
  • Future outlet expansion
  • Future growth initiatives
  • New brands being developed under the Babah Ventures ecosystem
