Papa John’s has started offering deliveries through Swiggy and Zomato, widening its distribution network in India as the brand scales operations following its return to the market last year.
The move marks a shift from the company’s initial India strategy, which relied primarily on direct ordering through its own mobile app and in-house delivery operations after restarting local business in late 2025, the company said in the issued release.
Papa Johns currently operates eight stores in Bengaluru and plans to open 30 additional outlets in the city during the current financial year, according to franchise operator Ambrosia QSR, which is backed by Pulsar Capital.
The company said integrating aggregator platforms with its backend systems and supply chain operations is expected to improve order visibility and support higher delivery volumes.
“The launch of aggregator delivery is an important step in scaling Papa Johns in India,” said Prashant Mehta, Managing Partner, Ambrosia QSR.
“Over the past few months, our focus has been on building a strong operational foundation, including store execution, supply chain, and direct delivery capabilities. With aggregators now live, we are well-positioned to expand reach while maintaining control over quality and experience,” he said.
The expansion comes as restaurant chains increasingly depend on third-party delivery platforms to grow customer reach and compete in India’s crowded online food delivery market.
Papa Johns had earlier focused on building store infrastructure, backend operations and direct ordering channels before expanding to aggregator-led delivery. The company said it would continue to pursue store expansion with an emphasis on operational efficiency and unit economics.
