Graviss Group, the long-standing operator of Baskin Robbins in India, is in discussions with Inspire Brands to acquire the franchise rights for Dunkin' in India, marking a potential shift in the country's quick-service restaurant landscape. The talks come after Jubilant FoodWorks decided to terminate its 15-year franchise agreement with Dunkin', which is set to end on December 31, 2026, following continued losses from the business.
According to people familiar with the matter, Graviss sees strong synergies between Baskin Robbins and Dunkin' in retail operations, supply chains and backend infrastructure, which could help revive the coffee-and-doughnut chain in India. If the deal is finalized, Graviss is expected to strengthen Dunkin's presence through localized offerings, an expanded menu and operational efficiencies while leveraging its extensive experience in India's foodservice and ice cream market.
Inspire Brands has previously stated that it remains committed to the Indian market and intends to continue expanding Dunkin' through a new franchise partner, underscoring the country's long-term growth potential for international food and beverage brands. (m.economictimes.com)
