Our Estimates
FranchiseChuno estimateSportyBeans 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.
All-in cost to launch a SportyBeans franchise
₹4.5–7 L*
The ₹3.5 L headline likely covers the fee, training and starter kit. On top, a franchisee typically needs child-size equipment for nine sports across two or three venues (₹50,000–1 L), launch marketing (₹30,000–50,000), venue advances and coach salaries until enrolments build (₹50,000–1.5 L).
Unit-economics model · Sep 2026
Class-fee income for a franchisee after the first year
₹60,000–1.5 L a month*
Assumes 40–80 enrolled children across a few venues paying ₹1,500–2,000 a month for twice-weekly classes — typical for children's activity programmes in large cities — plus some camp and birthday income. Coaches' pay and venue hire take a large share of this.
Analyst judgement · Sep 2026
Ongoing royalty
about 5–10% of revenue*
SportyBeans doesn't publish a royalty. Children's activity and education franchises in India commonly charge 5–10% of revenue. The franchisor's own FY25 revenue of ₹20.7 L across 36 listed centres (about ₹57,000 a centre a year, including any new-franchise fees) suggests the ongoing charge per centre is small in practice.
