Business Model

Virtually all EduCADD centers are now Independently owned Franchises. The average center has one or two computer labs, two classrooms, and good number of enrolled students at any given time.

Centers tend to be larger in urban areas and smaller in rural towns. The transition from a company owned center model to a franchise model was driven by two primary factors. First, EduCADD wanted to grow its business within India in rapid phase through franchise fair. Secondly, the model enables EduCADD to leverage the local knowledge of each franchisee. Despite Independent ownership, EduCADD maintains strict control over quality output of franchisees through a combination of contractual obligations, Curriculum and advertising control, supervision by Regional Managers. And train the trainees schemes from the students’ perspective, EduCADD remains a single entity. All centers teach a common curriculum leading to a common certification and all instructors have met the same EduCADD-Central Training Academy (CTA).

Advertising, which is generally designed and purchased by EduCADD on behalf of its Franchisees, is common across all centers, as are promotions and pricing bands. Students have special privilege of transfer between centers if they move or change jobs.
