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 royalty and any marketing-fund fee, and how they're calculated (on sales or profit).
  3. Ask for the agreement term, renewal fee and exit or transfer terms.

Nilkamal warns of fake franchise and distributorship offers

Nilkamal Limited's own caution notice says people posing as its employees or as 'Nilkamal Furniture Pvt. Ltd.' are offering showroom, franchise and distributorship on social media, by phone and by fake letters and asking for deposits into bank accounts. It says the company has not authorised anyone to do this and does not ask for money in any form.

About the Brand

Brand USP

A listed furniture maker's own retail showroom format, with the page quoting zero franchise fee and a large 8,000 sq ft store.

Parent CompanyNilkamal Limited
HeadquartersMumbai
Nilkamal Homes is the retail furniture, decor and homeware format of Nilkamal Limited, a listed Mumbai-headquartered furniture maker. Nilkamal's results release of May 2026 says the company runs 31 stores itself and 70 more under franchisee arrangements, and that in FY26 it opened 24 stores and closed 7. Nilkamal Homes' franchise page claims "more than 100 retail showrooms" and 71 warehouses. The franchise page lists an "Initial investment: Rs. 1.5Cr* for 8000 Sq. Ft" with an asterisk and no footnote, a "Franchisee Fee: Zero", a minimum showroom of 8,000 sq ft carpet area, at least 50 ft frontage and a prime location in a furniture market or residential area. It promises "profit from year 1" and a break-even in the first year, low inventory and operating costs, and a relationship manager and training. These are the brand's claims. We do not show Rs 1.5 crore as a headline because the figure is asterisked and the page does not say what it includes. No royalty or margin, agreement term or territory terms are published. What to watch: Nilkamal's retail and e-commerce segment (including these stores) made an EBIT loss of about Rs 7 crore in FY26 and about Rs 18 crore in FY25 per the company's release, so the segment that includes these stores is still loss-making at EBIT level. The store locator (stores.nilkamalhomes.com) shows only part of the network on its page, so we could not count outlets there; its own text says "60 large format retail stores", which differs from the company's 101 and the page's "more than 100". The page names no signing entity. Nilkamal has also published a caution notice about fake franchise offers that ask for deposits.

Why invest in Nilkamal Homes?
