One would think that American fast food brands like #KFC and #PizzaHut would be more popular on home turf than outside – like in Canada and Mexico. But they are spreading their wings in countries like China and #India.
While #China has a higher number of these stores outside the US, India has more #PizzaHut outlets than Australia. It also ranks very close to Australia in terms of the number of KFCs– proving that Colonel’s chicken and pizzas have found favour with the Indian palate.

#KFC
India has 400 million #millennials – 120 million of them in urban areas – who prefer quick service restaurants or QSRs. The country has 2.8 million QSR outlets, accounting for a 34% market share in food outlets and twice as many full-service restaurants.

#KFC #PizzaHut
Quick-service restaurants – be it those serving pizza, burgers or fried chicken – have seen growth. Along with trends and macroeconomic factors, the industry has recognized this opportunity and improved the affordability and availability of their products.

#KFC #PizzaHut
Most of these stores are operating at a 20% margin, implying payback in less than three years, as per a report. Some of these stores are delivery-focussed – a business that boomed during the pandemic and yields results – making stores smaller and paybacks better.

#KFC #PizzaHut
The franchise operators also revised their menus to suit Indian needs. Interestingly, they converted its rice bowl into a #Biryani bucket, as the former never took off. This is the most favourite product in the south, and has also become a hit in the north and the west.

#KFC
It looks like, when it comes to food, most young Indians prefer it quick, fast, tasty and affordable – which is why they’re flocking to QSRs – a sweet spot that these American brands have managed to hit.

Decoded: How the #Rupee trade settlement is tied to India’s trade deficit and forex reserves

businessinsider.in/finance/news/w…

By @jainrounak
India is a trade deficit country, meaning it imports more than it exports — this forces the country to maintain large forex reserves. The ongoing pressure on the #Rupee and its decline against #dollar pushed #RBI to put in place a mechanism to allow international trade in rupees.
Since India is a net importer – with its imports exceeding exports by over $87 billion in 2021-22 – and the value of Indian #Rupee declining consistently, #RBI’s latest decision to allow international trade in rupees is expected to reduce the pressure on India’s forex reserves.
