Gurgaon is the quintessential city of opportunities. Witnessing a significant boom in both its population and reputation since an industrial shift, it rapidly developed into one of the smartest up and coming cities of India. Owing to this, there is no dearth of business opportunities in Gurgaon, especially in the franchise sector. So, here are some of the best franchises to open in Gurgaon.
Amul Parlour:
Featuring the entire range of Amul products, Amul parlors are exclusive outlets of the largest Milk Company in India. The outlets require an area from 100 to 300 sq. feet and are ideally located in populated areas. The best thing about an Amul franchise is that there is absolutely no royalty charges or revenue sharing policy. The only qualification a prospective franchisee requires is an ideal location.
The cost of setting up the store (interiors and equipment) has to be borne by the franchisee, and starts from INR 1.5 Lakh, going up to INR 6 Lakh, depending upon the format. With very little investment and working capital involved, Amul is a great franchise for anyone who has the right business acumen.
FabIndia:
Founded by John Bissell in 1960, FabIndia started by exporting home furnishings. The first retail store was opened in Greater Kailash in 1975. By the early eighties, the brand was already known for handwoven and hand-printed fabric garments. FabIndia continued to expand internally, with the non-textile range being added in 2000, organic foods in 2004, personal care products in 2006, and handcrafted jewelry in 2008.
Its biggest USP is the FabIndia Experience Centre. It houses a FabCafé and an Interior Design Studio, which provides an interactive shopping experience. It turned out to be an interesting alternative to regular shopping and received many positive reviews and acclaim.
A large proportion of its products are sourced from villages across India, creating sustainable livelihoods in the rural sectors of India.
With 291 existing retail stores globally and plans of 100 new stores (30 experience Centres, 20 company-owned stores, and 50 franchise outlets) across India, FabIndia as a franchise is an excellent opportunity for the retail sector in Gurgaon.
Burger King:
Serving more than 11 million customers around the world every day, Burger King is a trademark in the Quick Service Restaurant industry. Known for serving high-quality and affordable food, Burger King was founded in 1954. Dubbed ‘Home of the Whopper’ for its legendary chicken patties called whoppers, it is the second-largest burger chain in the world. The success of Burger King lies in its quality. The whopper patty, for example, is a succulent pound of meat, surprisingly perky and delightfully delicious. Committed to providing its classic taste and recipes everywhere at pocket-friendly prices, along with a family-friendly dining experience, Burger King has truly arrived in the Indian market.
This American multinational chain of burgers has been received very well by the Gurgaon audience, with outlets already existing across major markets, malls, and metro stations. Opening a Burger King franchise requires a capital starting from INR 2.5 Crore, and the returns are handsome.

The Unique Selling Point of TBC lies in its easy accessibility, chill-out ambiance and affordability. While carefully selected locations ensure accessibility, the carefully crafted menu ensures that there is something for everyone in it. As far as ambiance is concerned, the cafe likes to keep music buffs delighted by playing everything from top chartbusters to all-time hit classics, and regularly features in the house music performances. The brand aims to replace the cliché of conversation over a cup of coffee or tea, and replace it with beer, and Rahul Singh wishes to expand the brand PAN India.
Bars are an established business in Gurgaon, and the repute that comes with a name like The Beer Cafe adds credence to it. The required space for a franchise outlet of The Beer Cafe is 1500-3000 square feet, and initial start-up expenses range between 1 Crore to 1.5 Crore.
