The Montana Group, a prominent name in the food and beverage industry, has announced a significant partnership with Kiscon Hospitality to revolutionize the Indian fast-food landscape. This joint venture, investing a substantial $10 million, is set to launch over 50 Carl's Jr. restaurants across India. Known for its Californian flair in premium burgers, Carl's Jr. is poised to make a substantial impact in the Indian market with this strategic expansion.
A Culinary Wave from California to India
This collaboration is not just about expanding a business; it's about bringing a slice of Californian culinary expertise to the Indian palate. Carl's Jr., a brand celebrated for its chargrilled burgers since 1941, holds a revered place in the global food scene with more than 3,800 outlets in 39 countries. The joint venture aims to replicate this success in India, offering a unique dining experience that combines global flavors with local tastes.
Revitalizing and Relaunching Carl's Jr. in India
The move signifies a strong commitment to revitalize and relaunch the Carl's Jr. brand in the Indian market. This relaunch is not just a business strategy but a nod to the evolving tastes and preferences of Indian consumers, who are increasingly inclined towards diverse and international cuisines. The plan to open more than 50 new Carl's Jr. restaurants within three years reflects a confident and calculated approach to capture the Indian market.Economic Impact and Job Creation
Beyond introducing Californian burgers to India, this venture stands as a testament to the commitment of the Montana Group and Kiscon Hospitality towards economic development and job creation. With an expected creation of 5,000 direct and indirect jobs, this project is poised to contribute significantly to the local economies where these restaurants will be established.
Leaders’ Perspectives
Monty Singh, founder and Chairman of the Montana Group, emphasized their dedication to uphold the legacy of Carl's Jr. while making it relevant for the new generation of Indian consumers. Jappreet Singh, founder and Chairman of Kiscon Hospitality Pvt Ltd, expressed excitement about introducing the iconic brand to Indian consumers, noting the partnership’s commitment to delivering authentic Californian tastes.
Conclusion
As Carl's Jr. prepares to sizzle on the Indian food scene, it represents more than just a culinary addition; it's a fusion of cultures, a boost to the economy, and a new chapter in the Indian fast-food industry. With the combined expertise and vision of the Montana Group and Kiscon Hospitality, Carl's Jr. is set to become a significant player in India's vibrant culinary tapestry.

Faasos, a food brand from Rebel Foods, has introduced its Paratha Burger range, combining the familiar format of a burger with the flaky, layered texture of lachha paratha. Available across 20 cities in India from November 12, 2026, the launch gives a distinctly Indian interpretation to a globally popular fast-food favourite.
Instead of conventional burger buns, the new range uses lachha paratha as its outer layer, enclosing flavourful patties, generous fillings and indulgent sauces. Described by the brand as having a “flaky outside, freaky inside” format, the product is positioned as a loaded burger experience rather than a wrap, roll or stuffed paratha.
The range features six vegetarian and non-vegetarian options across three flavour profiles: Teriyaki, Chipotle and Hot Garlic.
The non-vegetarian selection includes Teriyaki Chicken Dynamite, Chipotle Chicken Blast and Hot Garlic Chicken. The vegetarian options are Teriyaki Paneer Dynamite, OG Chipotle and Hot Garlic Manchurian.
Commenting on the launch, Mohit Mahajan, AVP – Marketing, Rebel Foods, said, “At Rebel Foods, product innovation is about finding new ways to make familiar food formats exciting for consumers. With the Paratha Burger, we have brought together the flaky, layered goodness of Indian lachha paratha with the bold, globally inspired flavours of a burger. The idea was to create something that feels familiar yet new, combining the comfort of a desi favourite with the indulgence of a loaded burger. The pilot across Mumbai and NCR is helping us understand the consumer response to the flavours that resonate the most with them. Our focus remains on expanding our offerings and bringing exciting food experiences to consumers across India.”
The flavour combinations range from the sweet and savoury notes of Teriyaki to the smoky profile of Chipotle and the sharper, more pronounced flavours of Hot Garlic. The concept builds on the appeal of familiar food formats while introducing new textures and internationally inspired flavour combinations.
Customers can order the Faasos Paratha Burger at a promotional price of ₹169. The launch also includes Buy One Get One (BOGO) offers and specially curated combos.
The introduction of the Paratha Burger adds another format to Faasos' menu innovation efforts, bringing together an Indian flatbread and the structure of a burger. The range also reflects the brand's approach of adapting familiar food experiences through new combinations of ingredients, textures and flavours.
