What makes India a nation?
India is one land embracing many cultures with varied caste, colour, creed, cuisine, and costumes. With differences of convictions and customs, how do we Indians leave our inhibitions and become united? Still, some kind of unity exists and it is best seen when a north Indian lady wears a Kanjeevaram saree or a Tamilian eats a chana bathura, or the times when they visit their own religious places and use a common brand of incense. By far, the best example of unity is, when we all pray for India to win a particular cricket match.

Today, our commercial landscape is a significant factor in the appearance of a unified India and this change has come more strongly in the last decade when businesses all around us are today offering similar branded choices in entertainment, food, education, communication, health, travel, cinemas, salons, hospitals and more so that when we make a reference to McDonalds or Levis, our counterpart in the opposite corner of the country knows exactly what we mean.

Diversity of India united through opportunity
Today, we are once again in the middle of another economic transformation, and this time, it is driven by the consumer. The beauty of change, however, is that India Next is growing up in an interconnected world. More and more people want to experience excitement and freshness in brands that they consume, while retaining in the comfort of the known. Indian Consumer today expects modernization, and at the same time, demands uniformity.

In 1999, we believed that our great nation with many religions, languages and consumer patterns can best be united through Franchising. This is Where we empower local entrepreneurs through best practices and leading brands and in turn help brands grow fast. Furthermore ,Franchising brings like-minded people to come together and creates a vehicle to popularise the larger Brand across the country, continent or the world. And interestingly, it is the unity within a franchise system that makes the brand a success. Within a decade or less, franchising already comprises over 40% of our retail and consumer business economy; employing millions of people, and enabling hundreds of thousands to realise the dream of successful business ownership.
