Founder and Managing Director, Massive Restaurants which owns Farzi Cafe, Zorawar Kalra said: “We are an important industry in India. The Indian restaurant market is 40 times that of Bollywood. The Indian food industry produces 2 per cent of India’s GDP and is second largest employer of human capital in after agriculture.
“As the Indian middle class is now spending more and more, food sector will automatically receive larger share out of their spending,” Kalra added.
