Since 1986, Aptech’s business expansion – and success – has been driven by its franchisees. The company is a pioneer of the franchisee model for the learning industry. It has set up and operates over a thousand centres across its brands like Aptech Computer Education, Arena Animation, N-Power Hardware & Networking, Avalon Academy and English Express in India and dozens of countries across the world.

Aptech has several times won awards for attaining excellence in franchising in India and overseas such as the Indian Global Franchisor of the Year, Win-Win Franchising Partnership of the Year and Franchisee Growth Driver of the Year, awarded by the Indian Franchising Association.

Aptech’s franchisee model ensures that ownership of the centre remains with the franchisee and that maximum profits accrue to him.

Arena is the market leader in the proven business of providing training for the booming animation and multimedia industry. Currently, in addition to centres that offer both animation and multimedia centres, franchising opportunity is also available for multimedia-only centres in some non-metro towns.
