Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), founded by Colonel Harland Sanders in the early 1930s, has grown to become the world's most popular chicken restaurant chain, operating over 15,000 outlets in 109 countries. KFC's expansion into India faced challenges, including initial closures due to protests, but by 2012 it had 280 outlets there and continued to grow in other markets, particularly in Asia and Latin America. Despite its strengths in brand recognition and menu variety, KFC faces threats from competitors, health-conscious consumers, and a saturated market.
