Sankalp Group Franchise
Ahmedabad restaurant group (since 1980) inviting Indian restaurant franchisees; fee, royalty and a single all-in cost are not published.
We couldn't confirm Sankalp Group is taking franchisees right now
Treat this as research, not an open offer, until the brand confirms its programme in writing. See the note below.
About This Listing
Sankalp's franchise page invites restaurant franchise applications and states a capital range, space needs and a process, but it publishes no franchise fee amount, royalty or refund rule. An FAQ on a separate page of the same site says the agreement 'is typically 5 years' and the royalty answer gives no figure, and other pages on the site give different investment figures. We could not confirm the programme's commercial terms, so it is listed as unconfirmed rather than open.
