Sameer Khetarpal, CEO and MD at Jubilant FoodWorks, said, “We reported modest top-line growth as LFL growth for Domino's was flat. This, along with historic high inflation, resulted in margin compression. We have sharpened our strategy to get growth back in the business.

We are confident that the interplay of these sets of priorities will not only help us navigate current headwinds but will help us capitalize on the immense potential of the food service industry.”
