Before joining Lenexis Foodworks, Gupta spent around a decade at Sapphire Foods, the master franchisee for KFC and Pizza Hut in India, most recently as Associate General Manager, where he built deep expertise in procurement and capex functions within a large-scale, multi-brand QSR operation.
At Lenexis Foodworks, Gupta will lead procurement, capex and design standardisation functions. His mandate includes preparing standard operating procedures for quicker store roll-outs, standardising bills of quantities and design parameters, overseeing auctions, capex and equipment procurement, and strengthening audit processes across the company’s store network.
“Ankur brings a solid combination of deep expertise and cross-sector experience across procurement, projects and QSR operations. As we scale our store network, having strong systems for capex, design standardisation and procurement discipline is critical.
