In a move set to redefine the quick-service restaurant (QSR) landscape, BBFT—Building Brands For Tomorrow—has taken a giant leap in expanding one of the most dynamic F&B brands in India. With a firm focus on innovation and strategic growth, BBFT has successfully signed over 20 franchise partners for Sheikh Chang Singh and is on track to launch nearly 15 additional outlets over the next three to six months.
A Brand Built on Vision and Resilience
Founded in 2020 by visionary entrepreneurs Akshay Sharma and Karan Chachra, Sheikh Chang Singh rapidly emerged as a game changer in the QSR space. What began as a modest 200 sq. ft. outlet in Hauz Khas, New Delhi, quickly transformed into a powerhouse brand known for its distinctive blend of flavors. The very name—Sheikh for shawarma and falafel, Chang for rolls and momos, and Singh for kebabs, curries, and biryani—captures the essence of an all-encompassing menu that caters to every palate.
Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, the brand’s robust operational model and centralized kitchen approach have ensured not only survival but remarkable success. By preparing food centrally, Sheikh Chang Singh guarantees consistency and quality across all outlets, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
Strategic Expansion Across Key Regions
BBFT’s latest milestone is a testament to its strategic vision. Over the past three months, the partnership has resulted in the signing of more than 20 franchise agreements, paving the way for a rapid rollout of new stores. These outlets will be strategically located in high-potential regions such as Delhi NCR, Jaipur in Rajasthan, and along key highway routes connecting Delhi to Punjab, Rajasthan, and Agra. This targeted expansion is designed to tap into bustling markets and drive sustained growth.
A Plug-and-Play Franchise Model That Delivers
At the heart of Sheikh Chang Singh’s success is its innovative plug-and-play model—a system that minimizes the time and effort required from franchise partners while maximizing operational efficiency. With investments ranging between 18-25 lakhs, franchisees benefit from a low-cost entry into the market, fast operational breakeven within 3-4 months, and meticulously defined processes and SOPs that simplify every aspect of day-to-day operations.
Moreover, the brand’s diverse menu of 85 food items—balanced between vegetarian and non-vegetarian options—ensures there is something for everyone, making it an attractive proposition for both food enthusiasts and investors.
Shourya, Head of Expansion at BBFT, explains:
“Sheikh Chang Singh is, without a doubt, the best QSR in the franchise industry today. Its all-inclusive menu, budget-friendly investment, and plug-and-play model set a new benchmark. With every process and SOP meticulously defined by the brand, our franchise partners can hit the ground running with minimal time investment. This streamlined, high-quality operational model makes Sheikh Chang Singh the ideal launchpad for anyone starting their franchise journey.”
The Road Ahead: Innovation and Consistency
As BBFT continues to drive this ambitious expansion, the future looks exceptionally promising. The centralized kitchen model ensures that every outlet delivers the same exceptional taste and quality, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to consistency and customer satisfaction. With strategic locations, a robust operational framework, and a visionary approach to franchising, Sheikh Chang Singh is poised to capture significant market share and become a household name in the Indian QSR industry.
For franchise investors, industry professionals, and F&B enthusiasts alike, this expansion represents a compelling opportunity to be part of a brand that is redefining the norms of quick-service dining.
