Yum Brands creates separate division to drive expansion plans in India

US-based Yum Brands Inc, having brands such as KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, is separating its Indian operations into its own standalone segment. This is a strong indication of the fast-food operator’s interest in expansion in the country as its only other major international market is China.According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, the group has named Niren Chaudhary as the President of the newly created Yum Restaurants India division and Micky Pant as its Chief Executive Officer of its international division. Pant has previously served as President of Yum Restaurants International and Global Branding.
