Business Proposal

Here are some articles and links to serve as Business Information to help you be a successful
entrepreneur.
Education
Education builds the man so it builds the nation. Today we (Indians) claim to be the biggest
human resources supplier for the world, but are we concerned what quality of human capital we
are building and for whose needs? This importance of education is basically for two reasons. The
first is that the training of a human mind is not complete without education. Education makes
man a right thinker. It tells man how to think and how to make decision.
What is the importance of developing job skills?
This is an excellent question. Simply put, it is very important to develop job skills. No skills
equal few jobs; few job opportunities equal lower earnings, etc. One obvious way to obtain skills
in an environment of rapid technological change and increased global competition is to get
education. Innovations in the workplace are changing the demand for the types of skills needed
on the job, which in part explains the differential effects on workers. Survey shows that "There is
no dearth of JOB, but there is dearth of Skills"
English
One of the most important Skill sets that one can possess in today's global economy is the
knowledge of excellent Oral and Written communication skills in English. This knowledge is
important since countries are becoming globally integrated and coupled with each other at all
levels - cultural, social and trade and business. This integration can only happen when the
language spoken is the same. As per the International Publication ECONOMIST, India has
multiple languages. Out of these, English is the only Language understood all over India. 20 - 25
% of the World speaks and writes English. On the Web and Internet, the big winner is English. .
International Language:
While English is not the most widely spoken language in the world when you look at it in terms
of the number of native speakers, it is the world's most prominent language. While a larger
number of people speak Chinese, that language is largely confined to China. English on the other
hand, is spoken around the world. It has been estimated that out of the roughly 6 billion people
that are alive today about 350 million speak English. When you look at the importance of
English for International Business, you must look at more than just the number of people who
speak it. You must also look at what the language is used for. In many countries where English is
not the native language, you are considered highly educated if you can speak the language
properly. You will be presented with a number of career opportunities. When you learn how to
speak English, the opportunities are limitless. English is the today's language, the language of
business, the language of communication and the most important the language of success. If you

want to succeed in today's competitive and globalize market, one need to communicate
smoothly, tactfully in English.
Call Centers in India
Call center is a centralized office used for the purpose of receiving and transmitting a large
volume of requests by telephone. A call centre is operated by a company to administer incoming
product support or information inquiries from consumers. Outgoing calls for telemarketing,
clientele, and debt collection are also made. In addition to a call centre, collective handling of
letters, faxes, and e-mails at one location is known as a contact centre. A call centre is often
operated through an extensive open workspace for call centre agents, with work stations that
include a computer for each agent, a telephone set/headset connected to a telecom switch, and
one or more supervisor stations.
Having a call center in India is the norm for several global companies today. In order to meet the
growing international demand for cost-effective, customer-oriented call centers, many
organizations worldwide are outsourcing these services by setting up call centers in India. But
what makes call centers in India such an attractive option? The country has intrinsic strengths
which make it a major success as an outsource destination for call center work:
- A booming IT industry, with IT strengths recognized all over the world.
- The largest English-speaking population after the USA.
- A vast workforce of educated, English-speaking, tech-savvy personnel: A boon in a highgrowth industry faced with a shortage of skilled workers.
- Cost-effective manpower
How large is the call center industry in India?
India's call center industry accounts for a quarter of all software and services exports from the
country, according to industry association Nasscom and Indian call centers employ 560,000
professionals. Daimler-Chrysler, British Telecom, Barclays Bank, HSBC, Honeywell, Aventis,
and several others have come to India while the old timers of GE, British Airways, Citigroup,
Amex, and others have been around for a decade. Retail
Retailing in India is witnessing a huge revamping exercise. India is rated the fifth most attractive
emerging retail market: a potential goldmine. Started with 25 operational malls in 2003 it has
grown to over 500 malls by March 2008. By 2010 India will need an additional retail floor space
of 200 million sqft. The huge Indian middle class is estimated to grow over 75 crore in the next 5
years making India one of the largest consumer market of the world. Around more than 22
million employee are in demand in Indian retail market which is absorbing utility more than
USA. Only 15 % of the demand for trained manpower in the organized retail sector is
employable.

reputed education institutions have introduced in their time-table, language laboratories and
programs for students of various grades. It's rather tough for an average Indian student with
multiple degree certificates to take on the world, if he/she is not proficient with conversational
English. Franklyn is the first institution in the city to introduce the School and College Language
and Call Centre Training programs. (Brochure is enclosed for more details)
Franklyn Direct Placement
People have a misconception that there is a dearth of job. The reason why youngsters are very
much bewildered about their employment even after being academically strong. Moreover they
are much more confused about the perfect way of job hunting as per their own skills. In Contrary
to it, there is a huge requirement for manpower demanded by the job market and different
industry. So to utilize the best of the situation, Franklyn has come up with the unique concept of
"Direct Placement", where the skilled job seeker will be placed directly in different companies
and industry through Franklyn placement department. The mass placement procedure demands
for strong database (pool of place able candidates) which paper advertisement, job portals or
other medium cannot quench. So to avoid the haywire, the effort of collecting database will be

shouldered by Franklyn's centers and further will be headed by the Head Office. The fruitful
result will not only give the placement solution to the youngsters but will create a good brand
name for "Franklyn". The whole process actually does not demand for any heavy expense. On
the contrary the proper coordination will fetch revenues both for Franklyn franchisee and
franchisor.

Franchisee Network
Spreading our wings need for a franchisee network. Well we all know India is one of the richest
countries in world. In culture, in tradition but, when it comes to literacy rate we are staggering
much below as compared to other countries. IT industry is presently the fastest growing industry
in India. IT Industry presently recruits 1 lakh people every year. Demand is there but supply is
less.
Therefore we need like minded people to come forward and put India on top of the literacy rate
as well as in employment. To strengthen us in this dream project we need Franchisees in almost
every town. In this age of fierce competition, only the best succeeds. This is true not just for
individuals, but also for institutions. If we have made it to the top, it is simply because our
strengths are unmatched by others.
Becoming a Franklyn franchisee- a profitable business
The concept of franchising is based and followed on a proven method of operating the business.
A franchisor like Franklyn develops a business format over the years. In such an event the
chances of success as a franchisee is many times higher than running an independent business.
Why Franchise?
The simple answer is to mitigate risk. "The franchisor can expand its reach by investing almost
no money and capital, while the franchisee is almost sure of success as he is working in a tested

area," Commerce survey showed that less than five per cent of franchises closed down each year.
In contrast, 62 per cent of non-franchised businesses could not make it past the sixth year.
As a share of GDP, franchising accounts for 12 per cent in the US, but not even one per cent in
India. The comparison gives an idea of where it could go. Industry estimates indicate franchising
has grown to a Rs 8,000-crore (Rs 80 billion) sector now, from Rs 4,578 in 2004. India is now
the world's largest franchise market after North America and is growing at about 30 per cent a
year.
