A prospective franchisee, 9:40 PM on a Sunday.
Nobody is at the desk. Jessica picks up, qualifies against six criteria, and sends the investment breakup to WhatsApp before the call ends.
- Jessica
Hi — am I speaking with Rohan?
- Prospect
Yes, speaking.
- Jessica
Great! This is Jessica from the franchise desk — you'd enquired about opening a franchise with us.
captured · name - Prospect
Oh, yes! I did. I was hoping someone would call.
- Jessica
Happy to help. So tell me — which city are you looking at?
- Prospect
Nashik. Somewhere around college road, ideally.
- Jessica
Hmm, okay — Nashik's open, and college road is actually a really strong catchment for us. Do you have a property in mind, or are you still looking?
captured · city / territory - Prospect
No, I've got one. I own a commercial space there — about 2,200 square feet. It's lying vacant right now.
- Jessica
Ohh, that's great. Owned space at that size clears our infrastructure requirement outright — that puts you ahead of most people I speak to. And what kind of investment range were you thinking?
captured · property · owned, 2,200 sq ft - Prospect
Somewhere between thirty and forty lakhs, I'd say.
- Jessica
Perfect — that's comfortably inside our bracket. And how soon would you want to open? This season, or are you still just exploring?
captured · investment · ₹30–40L - Prospect
No, I'm serious about it. I'd want to be running before the next academic intake — so four, maybe five months.
- Jessica
Right, that's doable. Last thing, and then I'll let you go — what do you do at the moment?
captured · timeline · 4–5 months - Prospect
I run two retail outlets. So I've handled staff, operations, all of that — just never in education.
- Jessica
Honestly? That's a strong background for this. Rohan, you clear every one of our criteria, so here's what I'll do — I'm flagging you to our franchise lead, and I'm sending the investment breakup and the territory sheet to this same number on WhatsApp right now. You'll have it before we hang up.
captured · background · qualified - Prospect
Oh, that's quick. Thanks!
- Jessica
Of course. You'll hear from our lead within a working day, and they'll already have everything we just discussed. Have a good evening, Rohan!
