Perizaad Zorabian Runs Rs 120 Crore Poultry Business After Quitting Films

Her return to the family firm reshaped a debt-hit wholesale operation into a branded business selling frozen, marinated and ready-to-cook chicken.

Overview

  • Profile pieces published June 25, 2026 report that Zorabian Chicken now posts about Rs 120 crore in annual turnover and employs roughly 700 people after a multi-year turnaround.
  • Perizaad said she left acting after marriage and stepped back into the family business when it faced deep debt, taking operational charge to stabilise finances and restructure strategy.
  • Under her leadership the company expanded from a wholesale model into retail, quick-commerce and packaged lines and now operates poultry farms across about 150 acres and sells in multiple states and cities.
  • Zorabian’s background includes an MBA from Baruch College and acting training at the Lee Strasberg Institute, experience she says helped her balance public profile and business duties; she currently has no immediate acting plans but may consider selective offers.
  • Reporters note that the business figures and growth details come from Perizaad’s interviews and profiles and have been broadly repeated across outlets while not appearing to be independently audited in the coverage.
