Which Franchises Have The Best ROI in India?

As the second-largest franchise market in the world after the U.S., India features several low-cost franchise concepts that offer entrepreneurs the opportunity for strong ROI, including automotive, beauty, fast food, education, postal delivery, fashion and health and wellness brands.

Profitable franchises in India include those with a strong brand name and a supportive franchisor. Profitable franchises in India generally reflect larger, contemporary global consumer trends, with popular sectors like retail, food service and health and wellness concepts constituting almost 60% to the overall franchise businesses in India. 

Franchising prospects should look for franchise companies in lucrative niches that tailor their products to regional tastes. For example, since beef is religiously and culturally taboo among much of the population, as well as illegal in certain states, international fast food franchises have succeeded in India by replacing their traditionally beef-based menu with vegetarian options.
