Ask before you sign

  1. Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
  2. Ask for the one-time franchise fee in writing, and whether any part is refundable.
  3. Ask for the royalty and any marketing-fund fee, and how they're calculated (on sales or profit).

Franchise terms checked against EuroKids' official franchise page on 17 Oct 2026. Figures marked * aren't published by the brand — they come from other published sources or our own estimate, and aren't verified.

  • In the newsĀ· 23 Apr 2024

    The Ken: KKR turned EuroKids into a billion-dollar education group, but not everyone is applauding

    The visible summary says franchise partners feel the heat of meeting annual targets and parents resist fee rises; it reports the chain grew from about 1,100 to 1,600 preschools and adds 500 centres a year. The rest is behind a paywall.

About the Brand

Brand USP

Mumbai preschool chain that says it has 2,000+ preschools, with a published ₹15-20 lakh investment and KKR-backed parent rated Crisil A+/Stable (Sep 2024).

Parent CompanyLighthouse Learning Private Limited (KKR majority-owned)
HeadquartersMumbai
EuroKids is a preschool chain run by Lighthouse Learning Pvt Ltd, a Mumbai company in which KKR holds a majority. EuroKids says it has 2,000+ preschools and 550+ locations; the group's Nov 2025 release counts 1,850+ preschools across all its brands. Its parent is rated Crisil A+/Stable (Sep 2024) and CRISIL reports group revenue of ₹1,375 Cr for FY25. EuroKids publishes an investment of ₹15-20 lakh (subject to location and city) for a preschool franchise, covering setup, furniture, teaching aids, curriculum materials and initial support, and a minimum of 1,500 sq ft on the ground or first floor. It says setup takes 45-60 days from signing and that each partner gets a defined territory. The figure has moved: its site showed ₹12-15 lakh in Dec 2023 and ₹15-20 lakh from Dec 2024. It does not publish a franchise fee, royalty, agreement term or any ROI or payback figure. What to watch: the franchise fee and royalty are missing, and the preschool count is a claim; its own franchise page has shown 1,400+ (Dec 2023), 1,600+ (Dec 2024) and 2,000+ (Oct 2026), while CRISIL (Sep 2024 and Sep 2025, same wording) describes the group as running more than 1,350 preschools and schools. The Ken (Apr 2024) reported that franchise partners feel pressure from annual targets and that parents resist fee rises. We found no franchisee-versus-franchisor court case, but also no franchisee reviews we could verify. Ask for the written fee schedule and speak to existing centre owners; an investor-backed parent's rating says nothing about one centre's profit.
