Over the last 15 years of my franchising experience in the Indian / Global Franchising Industry, i have always been confronted with this question as to what I think are the Best Franchise Opportunities in India. Some-how, as we have been involved with 100's of brands and 1000's of entrepreneurs, I have not made a formal list of companies or brands that I feel are among the most successful or Emerging Franchise Opportunities. This morning, A mail from an International Franchise Consultant Friend of mine from Singapore on what my inputs were on the top franchises in India for their Asian Franchise Publication, made me take notice of the fact that it’s time now to build this discussion. It has got me thinking and believes that the time is right now to put my choices across for the larger benefit of not only entrepreneurs seeking new business in India, but for global audiences who are watching the Indian Franchise Industry closely from their own perspective. This also adds as a pre-cursor to us building the top franchises for India at FranchiseBazar.com. To begin, these are purely my choices and have no bearings statistically on how the following brands are presently performing or how they have been performing against their competitors. I would like entrepreneurs who are looking at the following segments to evaluate these business opportunities in India along with the ones that they are presently exploring. I am taking my picks for the top 100 franchise opportunities of India and am separating them according to a broad Industry segmentation for ease of understanding.
