People who are assigned to supervise the development process of Pie Face India Private Ltd are Business consultants Rick Aylett and Ajay Grover.<\/p>\n<p>Pie Face said both Mr Aylett and Mr Grover have \u201cextensive food, beverage and hospitality experience in the Indian, Asian and Australian markets\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very pleased to appoint Rick Aylett and Ajay Grover as our Development Partners to help secure the best possible retail partners for the territory,\u201d said Wayne Homschek, Pie Face CEO.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Indian market is beginning to develop in terms of Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) food brands expanding through the market. The territory has a very large and growing middle class of over 170 million people, and represents a significant long term growth opportunity for the company,\u201d Mr Homschek said.<\/p>\n<p>The Company said Pie Face India has begun discussions with prospective IMFs and will \u201ccarefully choose the right partners with the required experience, expertise and resources to ensure the Pie Face brand is successful in the market\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe the Pie Face brand and offering will be very successful in the Indian market,\u201d said Ajay Grover, one of the newly appointed Development Partners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile a large portion including the sweet products would already be ideal, a new range will be tailored to meet the Indian customer\u2019s tastes, with special attention paid to developing an extensive range of vegetarian pies. There are no beef or pork products on the Indian menu. The brand will have strong appeal to all ages, especially the young adult market, which comprises of over two thirds of the Indian population,\u201d Mr Grover said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Australia-based pie maker, Pie Face, is expanding in India after signing an exclusive memorandum of understanding (MOU) with development partners to expand into the Indian market.
