An additional partner for the northern and eastern regions
The US fast food brand chose Sanjeev Agrawal, the chairman of MMG Group, as its new partner in 2020 to run restaurants in north and east India after purchasing the 50% stake from its estranged partner Vikram Bakshi, who had led the global corporation into a protracted court battle.
In India, McDonald’s is represented by two master franchisees: the MMG Group, managed by Sanjeev Agrawal, for the north and east of the country, and the Westlife Group, led by B L Jatia, for the west and south. According to Ranjan, the business already runs 156 restaurants in north and east India, and it plans to increase that number of locations in the following three years.

In three years, the workforce will double.” Ranjan said that the Guwahati location is the largest McDonald’s restaurant in the north and east of India.
“As the entry point to northeast India, Guwahati is a key site for us with room for growth in the future. We’re working to expand our stores in the northeast “he added.
It was decided to work in sections with a new partner. While Westlife Group is the partner for western and southern India.
