Quint Digital Limited has entered into a binding franchise agreement with Time Out Group plc for the development and operation of Time Out Market Delhi, marking the first franchise agreement for the Time Out Market concept globally.
The agreement follows the exclusive three-year option granted to Quint in May 2025 to explore Time Out Market opportunities in India. Under the arrangement, Quint will develop, fund and operate the market in line with Time Out's globally recognized concept and operating standards, while Time Out Group will earn franchise and ongoing operational fees without contributing development capital.
Time Out Market Delhi will be located at Worldmark Aerocity and is expected to open in the second half of 2026. Spread across approximately 24,500 square feet, the market will feature 11 curated food and beverage concepts along with cultural programming and events showcasing the best of Delhi's culinary and cultural offerings.
The project represents a significant milestone in Time Out Group's strategy to expand its global market portfolio through asset-light, capital-efficient partnership models. For Quint Digital, the partnership provides an opportunity to bring the internationally acclaimed editorially curated food and cultural market format to India, highlighting the city's top chefs, restaurateurs, entertainment experiences and local talent under one roof.
Time Out Group CEO Chris Ohlund described the agreement as a landmark moment for the company, noting that the franchise model opens a new avenue for international expansion while strengthening its partnership with Quint Digital in one of the world's most dynamic consumer markets.
