Curry bowl at Sankranti.Restaurateur Srinivasa “Nimms” Nimmagadda of the fast-casual Indian restaurant Sankranti aims to bring Indian cuisine to Atlanta and beyond with Sankranti franchise opportunities. Sankranti will debut in the Dunwoody area in December but Nimmagadda has plans for an additional 10 locations throughout the Atlanta area. The brand aims to make high-quality Indian fare accessible to all with customizable dishes.
“The goal is to make Indian food mainstream,” says Nimmagadda. “We’re bringing Indian food to everyone.”
Currently, the company is focused on franchising in and around Atlanta and is looking to attract franchisees. Nimmagadda primarily seeks multi-unit franchise deals with an initial franchise fee of $30,000 and $22,500 for each additional location.
Nimmagadda also has a fine-dining restaurant and banquet hall in Johns Creek called Sankranti but believes the Sankranti quick-service franchising program will make Indian food more accessible. Plus, the franchise program will offer more health-conscious, quick dining options well beyond the Dunwoody area.
“We’re going to continue making really good food and offer our franchisees the opportunity to invest in a unique concept and grow their own businesses,” says Nimmagadda, who says Sankranti is currently focused on franchising within the Atlanta area with plans to expand beyond Atlanta in the future.
