New Delhi, August 6th, 2025: FranGlobal, the international business arm of Franchise India Group, is proud to announce its strategic partnership with Sushi Sushi, Australia’s largest and most loved sushi QSR brand, to mark its highly anticipated entry into the Indian market. With over 170 stores across Australia and a thriving franchise model, Sushi Sushi will soon launch in India, aiming to open over 180 stores in the next five years across major metros and tier-1 cities.
Founded in 1998, Sushi Sushi has revolutionized the sushi experience in Australia, building a loyal customer base with its handcrafted sushi, strong franchise support system, and a deep commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability. The brand’s entry into India marks its next major international leap, targeting a rapidly growing market with rising demand for global cuisines and healthy fast food alternatives.
India’s sushi scene is experiencing a dynamic evolution. Once considered a niche offering, sushi is now one of the fastest-growing food trends in urban India, driven by young, health-conscious consumers seeking global, wholesome, and on-the-go food options. Sushi Sushi’s entry comes at a time when Indian palates are embracing Japanese cuisine with enthusiasm.
Gaurav Marya, Chairman of Franchise India Group, stated: “India is ready for a sushi revolution, and Sushi Sushi is leading that charge. The brand’s philosophy of freshness, innovation, and speed aligns perfectly with what the new-age Indian consumer seeks. Together, we aim to establish a sushi culture that’s not just premium—but accessible.”
Why Sushi Sushi Stands Out
- Australia’s #1 Sushi QSR: Market-leading brand with over 170 outlets and a strong foothold across multiple formats – kiosks, in-line stores, and food courts.
- Modern Brand Proposition: Sushi Sushi blends traditional craftsmanship with modern convenience, appealing to both Gen Z and millennial consumers.
- Award-Winning Excellence: Recognized with multiple industry awards for innovation, product quality, and customer service.
- Strong Franchise Model: A proven franchising framework, underpinned by comprehensive onboarding, marketing, supply chain, and operational support.
Expanding into a Rising Market
India’s appetite for Japanese cuisine is on the rise, especially in metros like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru, where sushi has moved from niche to mainstream. Sushi Sushi aims to cater to this demand by offering a diverse menu – from traditional nigiri and maki rolls to fusion sushi and grab-and-go bento options – all crafted from premium ingredients, with an emphasis on freshness and visual appeal.
Stephen Anders, CEO, Sushi Sushi, shared: “India is one of the most exciting markets we’ve ever entered. We are bringing not just sushi, but a full lifestyle and experience to Indian consumers—something fresh, vibrant, and built on the pillars of consistency and innovation. With FranGlobal as our local partner, we are confident of scalable and sustainable growth in the region.” Values That Align with the Future
