Introduction
Apart from being one of the largest employment generators in India, Hospitality & Tourism industry has emerged as one of the driving forces of growth in the service industry. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), “Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs) increased to 5.97 million in January-July 2018, achieving a growth rate of 7.3 per cent year-on-year.The travel & tourism sector in India accounted for 8 per cent of the total employment opportunities generated in the country in 2017, providing employment to around 41.6 million people during the same year. The number is expected to rise by 2 per cent annumto 52.3 million jobs by 2028.
The coffee & tea industry has taken a big leap from Rs 25,166 crore in 2013 to almost Rs 41,800 crore in 2017. In less than ve years, the Industry has grown three folds, bringing out a lot of biz opportunities in both, the tea & coffee sectors. Moreover, according to recent reports it is being predicted that the total number of organised Cafe chains from 3,500 presently, would increase to almost 6,200 by 2020. These gures are a clear indication of the success that is brewing for the interested investors.
Last few years have seen many international brands making inroads in the country, which simultaneously was an awakening for the Indian entrepreneurs to think of taking a sip from this ever growing industry. The café chain market which stands at Rs 1, 820 crore, is growing at the rate of 20 per cent in value. This brings out the fact that the cafe market is brimming with opportunities for the investors. The Founder of 07 Arena- The Gourmet informs, “The concept behind opening 07 Arena – The Gourmet is to give our customers a relaxing place to hang-out with their friends for yummilicious high quality food, a food that ts into everyone's budget, especially students who are budget restricted and can't afford luxurious cafes with their pocket money.” Barista, Gloria Jean's Coffee, Coffee Day Xpress, Costa Coffee, Coffee Bean Tea Leaf, Di Bella Coffee, are few of the Indian Cafe giants who have set up and grown via franchising.
