Papa John's plans to re-enter the Indian market by October, aiming to open 650 stores by 2035, seven years after exiting due to underperformance. The company will operate through Pulsar Capital and PJP Investments Group, competing with Domino's and Pizza Hut, which already have over 2,200 and 950 outlets, respectively. Despite challenges in the fast-food sector, the joint master franchisees see potential in India's large population.
