Burger King to Serve Indians Now

Burger King Worldwide Inc., world’s second largest fast food hamburger chain, has planned to enter India after placing its foot in more than 13,000 areas in as many as 91 countries and territories across the globe. Catering to the needs of more than 11 million guests, Burger King is now seeking to serve people in every nook and corner of India.

Everstone’s Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Sameer Sain, stated, “Everstone will bring its vast consumer insights, extensive retail real estate expertise, experience of food & beverage operations as well as requisite capital to bear to build the Burger King brand into India’s leading quick service restaurant.”
