Where the conclave started
The first edition of the conclave was held in Ahmedabad. The idea behind it was simple: bring F&B brands that want to expand together with prospective franchise partners and investors, so that conversations that normally take months of separate meetings happen across two days.
What changed in Jaipur
The second edition took that format to a new city, and the results showed up on the floor. Exhibitors closed deals at the event itself instead of leaving with only a list of follow-ups. The agreements covered a wide range. Some were single franchise opportunities, where a partner takes on one outlet. Others were master franchise agreements, which give a partner the rights to grow a brand across a wider area.
With exhibitors averaging at least two on-the-spot closures each, the conclave worked less like a showcase and more like a deal floor, where brands and partners met, talked and signed in the same place.
Leads and partnerships beyond the floor
Not every conversation ends with a signature on the day. Alongside the closures, the event generated quality leads and new partnerships across the F&B sector. For brands, these connections can keep developing long after the two days are over.
Brands that have been part of the journey
Brands that have taken part in the conclave include MMV Mumbaiya Misal & Vadapav, La Pino’z Pizza, Jumboking, Marky Momos and many more. Their presence across editions reflects the kind of brands looking at franchising as a route to growth.
