first launched in Australia and is currently located in 19 markets across the
globe, including Brazil, the Philippines and the Middle East.

over 200 today," said Niren Chaudhary, managing director, Yum! Restaurants
International India. "The number of people who can afford our food will reach
200 million people within five years and we are very excited about serving Pizza
Hut, KFC and soon Taco Bell to them."
