Domino's Pizza
In 1996, the first Domino’s Pizza store was opened in New Delhi. After that in 2012, launched Dunkin' Donuts.
Now they also entered in Chinese cuisine via Hongs Kitchen and Biryani via "Ekdum". Majority of there expansion pertains to Domino's only
Let's understand Domino's :
largest among QSRs – both in terms of the number of stores (1,435 stores and ~1,485 stores across all brands at the end of 2QFY22) and overall sales (higher than the next three QSRs put together).
The opportunity for growth is humungous. Its revenue stood at ~1% of the FSI in India and ~2.5% of the
organized FSI market.
EBITDA Margins also expanding and can go upto 25%.
RoE & RoCE also remain strong for Jubi.
They also cover almost 300 cities with increasing expansion of Homegrown Hongs Kitchen as well.
They are expanding but with caution because of burnt hands in dunkin' Donuts.
The company is aggressively focusing on increasing the market presence of Domino’s. As Domino’s is the main segment of the company therefore the company has doubled the number of Domino’s restaurants over last few years.
Guidance for network also increased from 2k to 3k.
One Metrics to be check for QSR is SSSG : same store sales growth, currently it is negative due to Corona, but sooner it will reach to 15-16% again as the economy open up.
Operating margins will remain in the increasing order as we can see that in last 10 years, margins increased from 15% to 25%.
Check out the cost breakup👇
Due to Lockdown the restaurants temporary closed which affected the sales of the company for FY21.
Further the lockdown hours also acted negative for the company. As a result the company reported negative growth in revenue and profits.
Some Growth prospects we can't ignore : Delivery Signals & their tech driven approach.
Their app downloads are fastest in the Qsr segment as well their availability on agreegator approach increase there availability.
Fastest Delivery and decreasing dine-in need after Corona, also helping Qsr to expand fast further, as unit economics favours them.
As explained in the QSR Thread.
Peer comparison

A Thread on
How OSEL Turned Negative Ops Cash into Positive?
And Many More things...
If you see Sep-25 Cashflow,
If reported correctly, Operating Cash Flow would likely be negative -₹40 Cr (vs. reported positive ~₹10 Cr).
How?
By classifying increase in short-term borrowings (e.g., Cash Credit) under Operating Activities instead of Financing.
Standard Accounting: Short-term borrowings belong in Financing Activities. Operations should reflect core business cash generation from customers, inventory, etc. This adjustment artificially inflates CFO, masking underlying working Capital Stress.
Ever wondered what lines the walls of an induction furnace and quietly powers India's steel boom?
It's not flashy.
It's not expensive.
But it's insanely sticky.
Welcome to the world of Ramming Mass: the unsung hero of steelmaking.
A thread on this niche industry and the available 2 Listed Companies in this space.
Raghav Productivity
Monolithisch India
Ramming mass is like a thick protective coating inside furnace walls.
It withstands extreme heat, reduces downtime, and improves steel quality.
Steel makers use just 3-4 kg of RM per ton of steel.
Price: Only ₹5-6 per kg.
Sounds like a rounding error in Steelmakers costs, right?
But if it fails… the entire furnace is at risk.
Production halts.
Losses Increases.
That's the stickiness.
Customers don't switch easily.
Quality = trust.
India's steel industry is on fire. Current capacity: ~220 MT
Target: 300 MT by 2030
They're planning to add in the next 5 years what took the last 10 years.
Massive capex incoming in secondary steel (induction furnaces).
Who supplies the critical lining for these new furnaces?
Only two listed players.
Fundamental Problem - Why it's a Ponzi Scheme for VEDL Shareholders
To service its own debt burden, VRL is systematically draining VEDL, forcing the operating company to take on ever-increasing leverage and deplete its cash reserves. This looting erodes the fundamental value of VEDL, which constitutes the primary collateral for VRL's own creditors.
VRL forces VEDL to declare disproportionately large dividends, which are funded not by free cash flow but by taking on more debt and draining its balance sheet
VEDL has incurred a $5.6b free cash flow shortfall against dividends paid in the last 3 years..
This arrangement has pushed the entire group to the brink of insolvency, propped up only by a continuous cycle of new debt, accounting tricks, and the deferral of massive, undisclosed liabilities.
Major allegations/red flags:
Bait and Switch Funding Model - Raise fresh capital to service debt in the name of new projects like Semiconductor
Irreconcilable Interest Expenses
Inflated asset values of non-operating subsidiaries exceed the value of debt
CAPEX Fraud - Expenses across operating subsidiaries are systematically capitalized, artificially inflating profits and asset values. This is a material misrepresentation.
Off-Balance Sheet Items – Billions of dollars of disputed expenses are kept off-balance sheet and undisclosed in financial reports.
Governance failures across management and auditors, including inappropriate auditor choices
