Saiyyad Sahil Ahmad – The Visionary Behind AL-BAIK India’s Success

Saiyyad Sahil Ahmad, the dynamic founder of Albaik India, has transformed his passion for food and sharp business acumen into one of the nation’s most loved fast-food chains. Known for its crispy fried chicken, signature spice blends, and pocket-friendly meals, Albaik has become a trusted name among millions of food lovers across the country.

A Strategic Partnership That Redefined Fast Food in India

In collaboration with Dubai-based restaurateur Hakim Qureshi, Ahmad co-founded Albaik Food System Pvt. Ltd. Together, they secured the Albaik trademark and introduced the iconic Happy Chicken logo. This strategic move not only protected the brand identity but also set the foundation for building one of the strongest albaik franchises in India. By blending authentic flavors with affordability and continuous innovation, the duo redefined how Indians experience fast food.

Roots in Indian Culture, Fueled by Passion

Born and raised in the culturally vibrant heart of India, Ahmad’s early experiences with traditional spices and diverse cuisines sparked his lifelong love for food. These roots, along with his respect for Indian culinary traditions, became the backbone of the Albaik India menu and its customer-first philosophy.

From Vision to a Household Name

Backed by strong expertise in business management and entrepreneurship, Ahmad turned his vision into a thriving reality. Under his leadership, Albaik India continues to stand out in the competitive food industry through:

  • Consistent product quality

  • Bold, authentic flavors

  • Exceptional customer service

  • Affordable pricing for all

A Rapidly Growing Franchise Network

Today, Albaik franchise in India has expanded to more than 152 outlets nationwide, making it one of the fastest-growing food brands in the country. Ahmad’s commitment to innovation, accessibility, and customer satisfaction drives this growth, while staying true to the brand’s core promise—great food at great value.

At Albaik, every meal is more than just food—it’s a story of passion, culture, and excellence. And at the heart of this story is Saiyyad Sahil Ahmad, the visionary leader who continues to carry the brand forward with pride.
