i360 engages FIC for pan-India expansion

i360 Staffing & Training Solutions, a vocational training initiative of the Unicon Group founder, is all set to expand its reach across India by appointing Franchise India Consulting.

Commenting on the occasion, Gaurav Marya, President, Franchise India said, “I see i360 as one of the most sought-after franchise propositions amongst education and training focused investors in the country. India’s education and training sector offers private institutions an estimated US$ 40 billion market, with a potential 16 per cent five-year CAGR. The system of vocational & management training in India has seen an impressive growth lately. The size of the opportunity that beckons entrepreneurs targeting this segment is enormous. To tap this phenomenal opportunity and penetrate in smaller towns, Franchise India Consulting is developing a franchise network for i360 towards a pan-India footprint.”

i360 offers complete range of courses in different segments. The company is known for its well researched curriculum, strong academic support, aggressive students’ placements wing, and a strong Unicon lineage. With its multilevel corporate engagements; starting from recruitment, student placements to trainings and academic endorsements, all these associations directly or indirectly add value to a student’s career. Presently, i360 works with brands like Vodafone, Airtel, Pantaloons, Haldirams, Unicon, Asian Paints, Ericsson and few more.

On this association, Deepanshu Khurana, Director, i360 said, “We believe that it is extremely difficult to enter a market without knowing local knowledge and hence, franchising gives us that know-how. In addition, we always wanted to grow horizontally very fast and franchising seems to be the answer for us. We have appointed FIC as they have tremendous experience in developing expansions for prestigious brands in the education and training segment in recent past. At present, we have 45 centres in north & eastern part of the country. We intend to have pan-India presence this year and add 100 more centres to the existing number.”
