India stands on the brink of its next big entrepreneurial leap. Franchise India 2026 – Mumbai, Asia's largest and most influential showcase of franchise and business ownership opportunities, will open its doors on 10th and 11th October 2026 at the magnificent Jio World Convention Centre, BKC, a venue befitting the scale of dreams it will host.
For over two transformative decades, Franchise India has stood at the very centre of the country's franchise movement, inspiring first-generation entrepreneurs to take their leap, guiding global brands toward India's vibrant consumer landscape and helping homegrown businesses expand from local storefronts to nationwide networks. What began with its first business expo in 2003 has since grown into India's longest-running, most trusted, and most influential franchise exhibition platform, a stage where ambition meets opportunity and where the entrepreneurial spirit of an entire generation continues to be shaped, nurtured and celebrated.Global Brands Coming to India — Under One Roof
This year's Mumbai edition will welcome over 300 business brands, including 100+ global concepts from Japan,France, USA, Canada, UK, Singapore, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Australia, all converging under one roof to meet their future franchise partners in India.This is where India's next big brand stories begin.
A Marketplace as Diverse as India Itself
Spread across sprawling exhibition halls, the stalls at Franchise India 2026 will paint a vivid picture of the country's entrepreneurial diversity. From the fast-charging world of electric vehicles and clean mobility to the ever-tempting aisles of food and beverage — cafés, QSRs, cloud kitchens and dining concepts that define how India eats — the show floor will hum with energy. Retail and retail supply chains will showcase everything from omnichannel storefronts to the logistics and sourcing networks that power them, while footwear, apparel and fashion brands bring the runway to the retail floor. Beyond these, the exhibition will spotlight wellness and beauty, education and edtech, fitness, hospitality and the ever-expanding services industry — together forming a marketplace as diverse, dynamic and full of promise as India's own entrepreneurial spirit. Whatever the sector, whatever the ambition, there is a stall, a brand and a story waiting to be discovered.
A New Addition: Coffee & Tea Asia (CTA) Conference
Adding a fresh flavour to this year's edition, Franchise India 2026 will also host a dedicated two-day Coffee & Tea Asia (CTA) Conference, bringing together roasters, tea makers, café chains, exporters and beverage innovators from across Asia. Held alongside the main expo floor at the same venue, the conference will brew up conversations on sourcing, brewing innovation, café culture, and export opportunities shaping the region's fast- growing coffee and tea industry. From plantation to cup, CTA promises to be a rich, aromatic addition to an already power-packed show — a celebration of a beverage culture that continues to captivate a nation of tea and coffee lovers alike.
