  • Global QSR giants are fighting back by Indianising their menus. Half of Burger King and McDonald’s offerings now cater to local tastes, marking  strategic pivot to stay relevant in changing market.
  • Markets have adjusted to this new paradigm as valuations derate across listed QSRs while local players witness improved access to capital. Will listed QSRs see their fortunes revive here on?
