Small
is Big
In
Rs 5 lakhs or less, says Ritesh Vohra,
you can make a dream come true. With many
franchising options at hand in today's business
environment, there is no need to dither
over making a decision that can not only
change your life but may also reward you
with great financial success.
So
you are thinking about getting into business
for yourself. You are studying the business
enviornment around you, thinking about business
ideas, evaluating them, working out the
math, putting the details on paper, and
generally dreaming while you are awake!

Retail
Giants On Expansion Spree
 The
retail industry in India generates 10 per
cent of the country's gross domestic product
(GDP) but multi-brand stores, malls and franchises
are currently estimated to contribute only
2 per cent of the total retailing business
in India. Considering huge business potential,
leading retail chains like Lifestyle, Pantaloon,
Shoppers' Stop, and Ebony are out to step
up their presence in the retail sector. And
that opens up new opportunities in franchising. |
