Most franchise opportunities in India demand ₹20–50L upfront, lock you into a retail space lease, and give you a brand that thousands of others are also running. FOFUS is different.
The FOFUS franchise network is a precision manufacturing franchise — not retail. You own the equipment, manufacture at your location, serve your territory, and sell through national platforms that already exist. And it is fundable through government schemes that most entrepreneurs haven't considered.
What Is a FOFUS Franchise Partner?
A FOFUS franchise partner is a territory-protected precision manufacturing business operating under the FOFUS brand. You choose a product niche, own the equipment for that niche, and serve your district with the support of FOFUS's brand, product files, retail store, and platform infrastructure.
There are 6 product niches available:
- Devotional & Religious (3D Divine, Christ 3D Print) — Hindu and Christian sacred sculptures for the temple-town market and NRI gifting
- Heritage & Cultural (Kerala Artorium) — Theyyam, Kathakali, Nalukettu models for the corporate gifting and heritage tourism market
- Anime & Collectibles (MAYANS) — for the rapidly growing youth collectibles market
- Educational Toys (Kidodoo) — STEM and Montessori toys for Kerala's high-spending education market
- Dental & Medical (Angel Dental) — B2B institutional supply to the 3,000+ dental clinics in Kerala
- Custom Manufacturing — prototyping and bespoke production for local SMEs
Each niche is territory-protected — one partner per niche per district. When your territory is taken, it is taken.

How to Fund It: PMEGP and Mudra
This is the part most people miss. The Government of India has two schemes specifically designed to fund exactly this kind of business:
PMEGP (Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme) provides up to ₹25L for manufacturing units, with a 15–35% subsidy on the project cost. A FOFUS franchise qualifies as a precision manufacturing unit. With the 35% subsidy (available in rural/backward areas), the effective cost of a ₹25L setup is under ₹17L.
Mudra Tarun provides ₹5–10L with no collateral for small manufacturing businesses. Ideal for a starter franchise node — 2 printers, 1 niche, 1 district.
FOFUS provides every partner with a signed franchise MoU, project report, revenue projections, and equipment documentation — the complete package that banks need to process PMEGP and Mudra applications.
For Startup Founders
Not interested in manufacturing? FOFUS also supports product founders completely. If you have an idea for a physical product — a gift, a tool, a heritage piece, a toy — FOFUS handles design, prototyping, manufacturing, preorder launch, and marketplace distribution. You build the brand. We are the factory and the platform.
FOFUS also facilitates KSUM (Kerala Startup Mission) registration for product founders, giving you access to state government grants and the ORCI school network as a potential institutional buyer.
