India's quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector is experiencing a significant surge in dealmaking and investment. Major operators like Devyani International and Sapphire Foods are merging to create the largest QSR entity, aiming for over 3,000 stores. This activity is driven by rising consumer demand for dining and delivery, attracting substantial investor interest in the sector's growth potential, with recent funding rounds and stake acquisitions in various QSR and food brands.
