Papa John's India arm eyes more stores.

OM Pizza, the Indian franchisee of Papa John's, the world's third-largest pizza delivery company, is planning to open more stores in the country from 2015. The firm, owned by the Mittal family, forayed into Indian food services space by acquiring OM Pizza & Eats last year.

Currently, Papa John's runs about 20 stores across the country. Atulya Mittal, director, Avan Projects and son of Vinod Mittal, younger brother of Lakshmi Niwas Mittal, said, 'After we took over, the focus has been on consolidation. Overall, we see good progress in strengthening our core operations and the focus will be on new stores.'
