6 Low Cost High Profit Franchise Opportunities in India

If you’re tired of your average 9 to 5, and want to add a little adventure to your life, check out 6 low cost high profit franchise opportunities in India.

A couple years, ago I spent five weeks living in, volunteering and exploring India. One of my biggest takeaways from my time in India was that there are so many people in that country. I wasn’t even in one of the major cities, but there were still too many people for my liking. I don’t remember going anywhere without there being crowds of people. Whether I visited the mall, the park, or just walked down the sidewalks, people were around. Almost every weekend, we would venture out to one of the local malls for air conditioning and a place to hang out, do some shopping, and maybe even catch a Bollywood movie. It seemed everyone in the city had the same idea to hang out at the mall on the weekends. I think that was one of the main reasons why malls were not hard to find around the city. In my opinion, because of its sheer size and population, there are big opportunities to invest in business in India. If you have a good product, you shouldn’t have a problem finding buyers.

According to The Hindu, India has the potential to bring in $1 trillion of new business opportunities, in the coming years, related to everything from agriculture to healthcare. Any industry directly related to population, has the potential to sky rocket and make a lot of money here. The more people they have, the more businesses they will need. The newspaper also claims 72 million job opportunities should arise in these industries. More jobs are absolutely integral for a country with a population of over one billion people and a large portion of that population living below the poverty level. 

India has proven itself as the world’s most attractive emerging market over and over again. It is only natural to look for a good investment opportunity in India.
