Sometimes it may also be to shake up the status quo by injecting a competitive element,” Lloyd Mathias, former senior PepsiCo executive and the business consultant said.

Domino’s in India

Domino’s has over 100 outlets in India and dominates other quick-service restaurant chains in the country. this will have a negative impact on the sales of Coca-Cola as Domino’s popularity can certainly empower its rival PepsiCo with a raise in sales.

India is an important market for Domino’s as JFL is looking to boost profitability. It generates profit mainly on Domino’s everyday value pricing and menu innovations.
