We work in three tier system-

Every third child suffers from the problem of poor handwriting, which is usually neglected in the school curriculum. The earning for the franchisee is beyond boundaries, and the marketing is growing at a rate of 38 per cent for the last three years. So, I believe the visionary will be able to reap the fruits in the years to come and the future of this industry is very bright.

We are planning to expand and penetrate the all-India market, with at least a network of 4000 unit franchisees in two years time. We would even like to tap international markets, primarily in the UAE, Europe, and Asian countries in the first phase.
