Prologue
As competition in academia increases, so do parents’ concerns. Children today make unconventional and forward-looking career choices, and the traditional education system no longer serves as a supportive system for such ambitions.
Moreover, with 5G internet speeds already widespread across the country, it has become very easy to buy smartphones and laptops, leading to the exponential growth of the e-learning industry that we have seen in recent years. Even after the pandemic, parents still believe online learning is the best approach for their children because it allows them to study in the comfort of their own homes. That is why the e-learning franchise is growing in popularity.
EdTech franchises are emerging rapidly in India due to a growing classroom population and declining teacher-student ratio. Not only do these franchises claim to provide the best education, but they have also made online education more personal and interactive through technology-driven approaches and automation.
So, even if you’re here from an investment perspective and want to build your e-learning franchise, this blog will help you decide between two popular edtech companies, Aptech Limited, and Henry Harvin.
The Emergence of EdTech Franchises
The Indian edtech market will change the meaning of education and courses. Forbes has estimated that there will be more than 37 million paying edtech users in this market, and by 2025 this will be a $10.4 billion market.
The growth of the edtech franchise is, of course, fueled by the excellent work Edtech brands are doing in building franchises across the country. The pandemic is also a key reason for the rapid rise of EdTech franchises, as Edtech companies provided parents with the best opportunity for their children to learn in the comfort of their own homes.
So what are the lucrative opportunities for aspiring investors like you? Read on to learn more about the two best edtech franchises.

Franchise Terms
Therefore, to buy the Henry Harvin franchise, you have to pay an upfront fee between INR 2.5 – 6 lakhs. Also, you need about 100-250 square meters of office space in commercial or semi-commercial areas. You are then asked to invest in a workforce consisting of one caller and one business development executive. This means a small investment, a small franchise recurring fee, and a negligible royalty model. In return, the brand provides pre-launch (complete business model, consultant and associate partnership training, product and sales training) and post-launch support services (CRM training, lead assignment, updates, and guidance).
The franchise term is 2 years and the ROI shared with the franchisee is 50% of the revenue.
