Our Estimates
FranchiseChuno estimateBrainobrain doesn't publish these, so here is our best read of the market and how we got there. They are our estimates, not the brand's figures — use them to plan, then confirm the real numbers in writing.
Set-up cost of a two-classroom centre
₹5–12 L*
Assumes about 450 sq ft for two 15-seat classrooms in a metro or tier-1 city. Fit-out and furniture at ₹500–1,000 a sq ft (₹2.3–4.5 L); a rent deposit of 3–6 months at ₹40–80 a sq ft a month (₹0.5–2.2 L); an allowance of ₹1–2 L for the franchise fee, abacus kits and training, which Brainobrain does not state; and 3 months of rent, faculty pay and local marketing as working capital (₹1.5–2.5 L). A shared or already-fitted room would lower this; a prime location would raise it.

Two reviews from accounts staff in Chennai (Nov 2024: 1.0, saying there was no benefit for employees; May 2025: 4.0). Too small a sample to generalise, and these are employees, not franchisees or parents.

Mar 2018 report: '925 franchise centres in 37 countries'
Diplomacy&Commerce reported a national Brainobrain competition in Belgrade attended by India's ambassador and repeated the programme's claim of 925 centres in 37 countries and over 2,000,000 children, with 17 centres in Serbia. The figures originate with the company. Today its site claims 1,000 franchises in 45 countries and 500,000+ students benefited; the two student figures are not measured the same way.
Source: Diplomacy&Commerce - regulatory· FY25
Registrar data: FY25 revenue ₹12.1 Cr (up 4%), profit ₹0.68 Cr (down 48%), 5 registered charges
MCA data via Tracxn show the company active and compliant, paid-up capital ₹50 L, FY25 EBITDA about ₹1.74 Cr and five registered charges with about ₹15 Cr outstanding against them (registered charges are not the same as debt owed). Tracxn lists the last AGM as 27 Sep 2023. This is the franchisor's result, not a centre's.

A profitable franchisor doesn't mean profitable franchisees. These are the company's numbers, not an outlet's. A franchisor can grow on fees and supplies while outlets struggle — talk to existing franchisees and see their accounts before you decide.
