Indian Franchise Association (IFA) has taken an initiative of launching India’s first short term professional training courses on retail and franchising for MBA students and working executives.
In India, 400,000 engineers graduated last year but only one in four of them was employable, rest could not make through due to lack of required technical skills, fluency in English, ability to work in a team or delivering basic oral presentations.

IFA has aggressive plans to promote short term professional training courses by establishing training centres in various parts of the country to educate students or professionals on the modalities of franchising and retail.
