What Devyani International does

Yum Brands franchisee operating KFC, Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee outlets across India and abroad.

Pays Yum Brands royalties and fees on sales under franchise agreements, then runs its own restaurants, so earnings depend on same-store sales and how fast it opens new outlets. KFC is its biggest brand. RJ Corp, the Jaipuria family's group that also controls Varun Beverages, is the main promoter.

In one line: India's KFC/Pizza Hut franchisee.
