Answer 8

Jumbo King

Jumboking Foods Pvt. Ltd.

Jumbo King is a chain of fast food restaurants based primarily in Mumbai, specialising in the Maharashtrian regional dish vada pav. Established in 2001 by husband and wife Dheeraj and Reeta Gupta, the company was inspired by the fast food business model of McDonald's and Burger King. Jumbo King Foods Pvt. Ltd is a franchisee-based company that operates across many areas of India. From its beginnings in Malad, a suburb of Mumbai, it has spread across the whole Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), as well as Bangalore, Hyderabad, Aurangabad and Gujarat.

An earlier franchisee of Burger King, the Guptas, on their visit to London, realised that fast food could also work in India. Vada pav was their first idea, as the food had to be portable. In 2001 the Guptas opened their first restaurant at Malad, with an initial investment of ₹200,000 (US$3,100), which they borrowed from his family. The outlet was initially named Chaat Factory (Snack Factory), and vada pav was sold at ₹5, despite street vendors selling the same product for ₹2. The name was later changed to Jumbo King. Gupta faced opposition from his family, who thought he was wasting his MBA by selling vada pavs.

Vada pav is a popular vegetarian dish native to the Indian state of Maharashtra, although it has been losing its reputation in past few years. The places where the food is now cooked and sold are often polluted, and it is considered a "poor man's food". The people of Mumbai and Thane consume about 18–lakh (1.8–2 million) units of vada pav, with stiff competition mainly from the unhygienic street vendors in the city. In contrast, Jumbo King cooks and sells the food in hygienic conditions.
