Constraints franchising faces in India• Lack of franchisor vision
– Franchisor executive themselves– Ability to credibly impart the vision to franchisees
• Lack of systems & process – Ops manual is malleable & legal extension of franchise agreement
• Skills & experience within franchisor team– Hiring wrong people / not hiring the company’s needs
• You “grant” a franchise – not sell– Signing up anyone with a “heartbeat & cheque book” – Lack franchisee & location selection criteria & process– Too eager to grow the channel at expense of the network
#1 Fix: Gov’t legislation for Prior Disclosure?
