MARCO PIERRE WHITE TO CAPTURE INDIA RESTAURANT SCENE
Could you elaborate about the recent achievements of Marco Pierre White?

We have a total of 62 restaurants in the UK and have recently added two restaurants in Abu Dhabi. In the UK, we have many franchisees which have expanded their relationship with us by opening multiple units. As we engage with hotel owners for our restaurants, a bustling Marco Pierre White restaurant gives them dual benefits of good sales as well as good occupancy in the hotel. We have witnessed over 6% YoY sales growth over the last 2-3 years. It’s not just about food but great food in a glamorous environment at affordable prices.
