Ambani has appointed Rishi Negi, chief operating officer of multiplex operator Fame India, to develop the quick service restaurant concept within 3-4 months, it said, citing two unnamed company executives.

“The company is looking at anything suitable for Indian palate, be it Chinese, Italian or Indian cuisine,” it quoted one executive as saying.

Reliance has shortlisted Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore as the tentative locations to launch the business, it said.
