Who to pitch: opening in other cities, no Delhi NCR store in our reports
Opening in two or more other cities since May 2026, with no Delhi NCR opening on record and no report in the last 12 months that places one of its stores here. A stated plan for Delhi NCR comes first, then most cities and the latest opening. National chains (100+ stores) and dark stores are left out.
