The highest spending of disposable income in India is on eating out and food, and restaurants and bars are the ultimate social hub, said Zorawar Kalra, founder and managing director of Massive Restaurants. “As per industry estimates, five years ago, Indians were eating out close to three times a month. Now it’s about eight times a month. Restaurants have realised that Indians love eating out and the younger lot wants to do it even more. They are okay with not buying a car, taking an Uber instead,” he said.
