TWO
WHEELER INDUSTRY IN INDIA:
India is the second
largest producer of two-wheelers in the world. It stands next only to China and
Japan in terms of the number of two-wheelers produced and the sales of
two-wheelers respectively. In the year 2005-2006, the annual production of
two-wheelers in India stood at around 7600801 units. The trend of owning
two-wheelers is due to a variety of facts peculiar to India. One of the chief
factors is poor public transport in many parts of India. Additionally,
two-wheelers offer a great deal of convenience and mobility for the Indian family. Here

RESURGENCE
OF FRANCHISE INDUSTRY IN INDIA:
The
supporting appeal of the franchise industry has been the reason for the surge
in its popularity in the past decade. Currently worth Rs 82,500 crore, it is
estimated to grow to about Rs 2.91 lakh crore by 2017, according to the Indian
Franchise Report 2012. The main reason is that both domestic and international
companies want to expand their footprints, but don't consider it a viable
proposition to do it on their own due to operational and financial pressures.
They prefer to look for
partners who can invest to run a branch of their business. From international
brands like Domino's and Dunkin' Donuts, to domestic ones like NIIT and
Naturals, a lot of companies are opting for the franchising model. It's
estimated that the franchise industry is growing at a rapid pace of 40% a
year.
