Now, as we have opened our 42nd restaurant in India, we have plans to expand in through the year across North, West and South India. With the evolution of the new-age consumer, who finds the concept of a QSR very infantile, we feel very confident that Dunkin' Donuts will connect with them very strongly with its unique positioning in the Indian food service industry."
