Franchise Model
A Structured Model for Sustainable Global Growth

Our Franchise-Owned, Company-Operated (FOCO) model redefines international retail growth by combining investor confidence with operational excellence. Under this framework, investors own the franchise entity while Kalyan Jewellers manages all aspects of operations, from staffing and marketing to inventory and real estate.
Each franchise unit is fully gold-backed, ensuring financial security while offering assured annual returns of 12% on capital employed. With a starting investment of AED 17.5 million per store, the model delivers both stability and scalability through strategic global rollout.
Every element of the FOCO framework has been built to ensure lasting success, empowering investors to be part of a legacy that blends India’s trusted craftsmanship with Dubai’s entrepreneurial vision.
