2 days of absolute Craziness, Networking and Pitching. #FRANCHISEINDIA2024
"Micro-Entrepreneurship Mahakumbh" 🔥 No better way to describe the Franchise India 2024 Show that was organised over the weekend at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. ✔️ Aspirational Investors vs. Seasoned Investors ✔️ First Timers vs. Serial Micro-entrepreneurs ✔️ Glamour-first (Insta obsessed) vs. Profits-first ✔️ Gyaan-Seekers vs. Gyaan-Givers ✔️ Investor Mindset vs. Operator Mindset ✔️ "Why Should I?" vs. "Why shouldn't I?" and many more... The event provided UClean with the opportunity to network with a diverse range of potential investors who thronged the show in search of a suitable franchise business. Amidst all the mayhem and chaos that such an event brings, what really stood out for me was the number of first-timers who had been recently laid off from their jobs. India is going through an interesting phase where a lot of startups and even bigger corporations that had mass hired in the past, are suddenly laying off people in droves due to financial pressure. Those who are laid off are seriously looking at entrepreneurship as a viable alternative. Franchise is now cooler than ever before :) Working for yourself vs. Working for others. The debate is slowly but surely tilting towards "Working for yourself". And franchising is the biggest gainer as it allows you to start up with relatively lower risks vs starting up purely on your own. As for me, I couldn't be happier to see this trending. The rise and rise of micro-entrepreneurship in India is here to stay 🚀 #franchising #microentreprenurship #startup #expo #event #laundry Franchise India Holdings Limited Franchise India Brands Limited ISFA: Indian Small Business & Franchise Association - MSME.in
