After food and beverages industry education sector is considered as one of the most happening quarters of business in India. It is also least prone to market fluctuations. In this sector early child education is gaining interest as parents become more aware of its importance. With expendable income growing fast play schools are set to be an essential part of child education. Unlike an industry a school need not be situated at a prime business location. Best suited are residential areas, which, even with associated infrastructure, do not demand a fortune in terms of initial investment. In most of the states, the Shops and Establishments Act is not applicable to play schools and there is minimal government interference. Also there is not much inventory to store and manage.

It is easier to tap into this knowledge pool than to create one from scratch. Flow of income is steady in case of a franchise.
Apart from all of these merits, being part of building strong foundations to many young individuals is most satisfying. Quality of early education reflects throughout one's life. In this sense, each franchisee is contributing their bit to nation-building.
