In short

The application starts with a qualification enquiry stating city, land area, land ownership and investment capacity. It then moves through a model discussion, a site visit and catchment assessment, document verification, a project and financial review with a location-specific estimate, and a franchise agreement. Project execution begins after signing. Approval is subject to site and document assessment throughout.

What is decided at each stage

Qualification

Decides whether the city, plot size, ownership status and investment capacity clear the preliminary bar. Answered from the four fields in the enquiry form.

Model discussion

Decides whether the FOFO model, brand standards, royalty structure and long-term obligations suit you. This is a two-way fit conversation, not a pitch.

Site visit

Decides whether the specific plot can hold a Jaipuria campus and whether the catchment can fill it. Covers access, levels, surroundings and competition.

Document verification

Decides whether title, land use, entity structure and financial capacity are in order. Gaps identified here are the most common reason a project stalls.

Project and financial review

Produces a location-specific project estimate, phasing plan and enrolment build assumptions for your city.

Franchise agreement

Documents brand fee, royalty, territory, quality standards, audit rights, term and exit. Everything discussed becomes written.

Project execution

Master plan and construction, CBSE affiliation documentation, recruitment and training, admission campaign and launch.

Documents to keep ready

Prepare these to move quickly

  • Sale deed or registered lease deed with mutation record
  • Encumbrance certificate and current revenue extract
  • Land-use certificate or conversion application status
  • Survey plan with plot dimensions and levels
  • Trust, society or company registration documents, if already formed
  • Evidence of funding: bank statements, sanction letter or fund commitment

Common reasons an application stalls

  • Title in a relative's name without a documented transfer or consent
  • Land-use conversion not yet started in a state with long timelines
  • Investment capacity that covers construction but not working capital
  • A plot that is smaller than assumed once surveyed
  • No decision maker available, with the enquiry raised on someone else's behalf

Next step

The enquiry form asks for your city, land area, land ownership and investment capacity first, so the franchise team can tell you where you stand rather than only call you back.
