There is pressure on same store sales growth as well as on the bottom line because of the emergence of hyper local players. “The are a lot of regional food players who are now competing with the national players. An example is of Top in Town ice cream, which has over 1,000 outlets and is competing with Baskin Robbins,” Yadav shared. 

Rise of the experiential customer: A key driver of the basket growing is the rise of the experiential customer who are willing to go beyond the usual to try different foods. “Over the last five years, there has been an explosion of cuisines,” Yadav said.
