Built by travellers.
Driven by taste.
Spago Foods was founded in 2019 by Zonu Reddy and Nischay Jayshankar, on a conviction formed over years of eating their way around the world: exceptional food begins with uncompromising ingredients, and authenticity is worth protecting.
Seven years on, that conviction is a company of 450 people running 13 outlets across four Indian cities, with a kitchen of our own in every one of them.
Our brands
Magnolia Bakery
New York to India.
Master franchisee for India since 2019 — and, seven years on, the brand's largest franchise partner anywhere by store count.
We opened the brand's first Indian store in Bengaluru in 2019 and operate all thirteen ourselves — none sub-franchised. Pastry teams are trained to the brand's international standards, kitchens are ours in every city, and an eggless range was developed here in 2024 for the Indian market.

“Magnolia Bakery has set standards for each ingredient used, and our goal was to source as many as possible locally.”
Zonu Reddy — Co-Founder, Spago Foods
Not a licence.
An operating company.
-
Both founders come from real estate. We work directly with the largest developers in each state, with advisory from JLL and CBRE, which earns early access to new developments and the best positions inside them. Our own design and engineering teams take a store from drawings to opening.
-
A central kitchen in every city we operate in, producing fresh daily to the brand’s specification, under an executive chef with head chefs in each city.
-
We localise ingredients as far as the specification allows and import whatever cannot be matched here. Four warehouses and a cold chain distribute to every store daily.
-
Every store is owned and staffed by us — none sub-franchised — with regional operations leads in each city holding the experience consistent at every counter.
-
Our first back-of-house team trained for four months with the brand’s corporate chef before a single store opened. Retraining has run ever since, to franchisor standard.
-
Campaigns, social, CRM and delivery-platform management run in house, with PR agencies in each city — alongside a corporate gifting and bulk-order channel of its own.
Thirteen outlets.
Four cities.
Every outlet offers dine-in, takeaway and delivery, with a central kitchen in each city producing fresh daily. Two further outlets are in development.
