Farmscraft Plans 60+ Franchise Showrooms Across India with FOFO Expansion Strategy
Farmscraft Plans 60+ Franchise Showrooms Across India with FOFO Expansion Strategy
Farmscraft is planning to expand its premium handcrafted furniture business across India through a Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated (FOFO) model. Founded by Amit Kumar, the brand specialises in solid hardwood furniture, bespoke customisation and 100% in-house manufacturing. During a Franchise India webinar, the company outlined an estimated initial investment of ₹53–55 lakh, a 3,000 sq. ft. showroom format and plans to establish 60+ franchise showrooms within three to five years.

Farmscraft Targets 60+ Franchise Showrooms as It Plans Expansion Across India

Premium handcrafted furniture brand Farmscraft is preparing to expand its retail presence across India through franchising, with an initial focus on Delhi NCR and other markets in North India. During a webinar, the company outlined its business journey, product portfolio, franchise investment structure and plans to establish more than 60 franchise showrooms within three to five years.

Founded by Amit Kumar, Farmscraft combines traditional Indian craftsmanship with contemporary furniture design. The business began with Kumar’s entrepreneurial experience in exotic vegetable farming before moving into premium hardwood furniture. Its manufacturing operations are based in Bhiwani, Haryana, where the company manages product design, manufacturing and quality control in-house.

Farmscraft has built a business with approximately ₹11 crore in revenue over five years. The brand is now looking to build on this foundation by entering new markets through franchise partnerships.

From Exotic Farming to Premium Handcrafted Furniture

Farmscraft’s journey reflects a shift from agricultural entrepreneurship to furniture manufacturing. The brand’s focus is on creating furniture that combines craftsmanship, functionality and contemporary aesthetics, rather than competing primarily through mass production.

The company works with premium hardwood, with solid teak highlighted as a key material in its current franchise offering. Its emphasis on in-house production allows the business to oversee design, execution and product quality while offering bespoke customisation.

Amit Kumar, Founder and CEO of Farmscraft, described craftsmanship as an essential part of the brand’s identity, highlighting the skill and patience of the artisans involved in making each piece.

The presentation also introduced co-founder Benita, who is involved in furniture design, while Kumar oversees the wider business and expansion strategy.

Five Product Categories Form the Brand’s Portfolio

Farmscraft’s product portfolio covers five principal categories: sofas, dining sets, beds, chairs and other furniture and accent pieces. The brand’s revenue distribution, as shared during the webinar, indicates that sofas are its largest category.

The company presented the following revenue split:

  • Sofas: 30%
  • Dining sets: 26%
  • Beds: 25%
  • Chairs: 7%
  • Other furniture and accent pieces: 12%

These figures were presented as the brand’s category-wise revenue contribution. Sofas, dining sets and beds together account for 81% of the reported mix, making them central to the current product portfolio.

Farmscraft also highlighted bespoke customisation as a differentiator. Its in-house manufacturing setup allows the company to develop furniture according to customer requirements, while its focus on solid hardwood supports its positioning in the premium furniture segment.

Why Farmscraft Is Exploring the Franchise Model

The proposed franchise strategy is designed to extend Farmscraft’s presence beyond its home market without relying exclusively on company-owned retail expansion.

The brand is offering a Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated (FOFO) model. Under this structure, the franchise partner invests in and owns the showroom, manages its daily operations and generates local sales. Farmscraft retains central control over product development, manufacturing, quality standards, pricing, catalogues and brand guidelines.

The company has proposed a showroom format of approximately 3,000 square feet, intended to present its furniture range and provide customers with a retail experience suited to premium home furnishings.

The agreement period outlined during the webinar is five years. The brand also stated that franchise partners would receive a gross margin of 40% on inventory, subject to the applicable product and commercial terms.

Farmscraft Franchise Investment and Financial Projections

During the webinar, the Farmscraft team presented an estimated initial investment of ₹53 lakh to ₹55 lakh for the proposed 3,000-square-foot showroom.

The financial snapshot shared in the presentation included the following figures:

Investment componentAmount shared
Facility setup, including interiors and fit-outs₹22 lakh
Franchise fee₹3 lakh
Display inventory₹11.375 lakh
Initial stock inventory₹16.65 lakh
Total initial investment estimate₹53–55 lakh
Marketing contribution2% of monthly revenue
Projected monthly revenue₹15–17 lakh
Projected payback period26 months
Projected IRR64%

The display inventory figure reflects the discounted cost presented in the financial snapshot, while the initial stock inventory figure represents the amount quoted for the proposed inventory purchase. The webinar also discussed additional working capital, launch marketing, rental deposits and operating expenses as part of the broader financial planning process.

During the detailed financial discussion, the team explained that the business projections were based on a combination of retail walk-in orders, business-to-business projects and social-media-generated sales. The model assumed different average order values and margins for each sales channel.

The company’s financial presentation estimated monthly sales of approximately ₹17.7 lakh in its detailed model, while the summary slide showed a monthly revenue potential of ₹15 lakh to ₹17 lakh. These should be treated as brand-provided estimates rather than guaranteed sales or returns.

The projected 26-month payback period and 64% internal rate of return (IRR) were also presented as estimates based on the brand’s assumptions. Actual performance may vary depending on location, rent, customer demand, sales mix, operating expenses and working capital. Prospective franchisees should request the detailed financial model and validate its assumptions before investing.

What Farmscraft Provides to Franchise Partners

The franchise model separates central brand functions from local showroom responsibilities.

Farmscraft stated that it would retain responsibility for:

  • Product design and development
  • Manufacturing and quality control
  • Brand guidelines and showroom standards
  • Centralised pricing and product catalogues
  • Supply-chain management and transportation from the warehouse to the franchise showroom
  • Technology and ERP support
  • Franchisee training and standard operating procedures

This structure is intended to maintain consistency across showrooms while allowing franchise partners to focus on local sales and operations.

The company also outlined a centralised manufacturing and supply-chain approach, with products dispatched from its facility in Bhiwani. The detailed delivery timelines and installation arrangements should be confirmed with the brand for each location and order type.

Responsibilities of the Franchise Partner

Under the proposed FOFO arrangement, franchisees would be responsible for the commercial and operational management of their outlets.

Their key responsibilities include:

  • Acquiring customers and converting enquiries into sales
  • Managing showroom operations, staffing and the customer experience
  • Handling delivery and installation at customers’ homes
  • Conducting local marketing and outreach
  • Managing operating expenses and maintaining adequate working capital
  • Following Farmscraft’s brand standards and operating procedures

The brand said it would assess prospective partners on strategic, financial, operational and marketing fit. Relevant experience in furniture retail, home interiors or premium retail may be beneficial, along with local market knowledge, team-management capabilities and the ability to manage the business through its initial ramp-up period.

Farmscraft also indicated that it would look for partners with sufficient investment capacity and working capital to support the business during its early months.

Delhi NCR and North India Lead the Expansion Roadmap

Farmscraft’s immediate expansion strategy centres on strengthening its presence around Bhiwani and entering priority markets across Delhi NCR.

The markets highlighted during the webinar include:

  • Delhi
  • Noida
  • Gurugram
  • Faridabad
  • Chandigarh
  • Mohali
  • Jaipur
  • Dehradun

The company’s rollout plan has three broad stages. The first is to consolidate its existing base and strengthen its presence in Haryana and Delhi NCR, including the proposed Gurugram showroom. The second is to enter priority metropolitan and regional markets such as Chandigarh, Mohali, Jaipur and Dehradun. The third is to build a wider network of more than 60 franchise showrooms across metropolitan and Tier 1 cities, with additional Tier 2 markets considered as the network develops.

The brand’s stated goal is to establish 60 or more franchise showrooms across India within three to five years. This remains an expansion target rather than a confirmed store-opening schedule.

Who Can Consider a Farmscraft Franchise?

The brand identified three broad groups as potential franchise partners: established furniture retailers, businesses operating in the home and interiors segment, and experienced entrepreneurs capable of managing a premium retail showroom.

Its partner assessment framework covers four areas:

Strategic fit: Understanding of the premium furniture market, local customer preferences and the brand’s positioning.

Financial fit: Sufficient investment capacity, working capital, a sound credit history and the ability to support the initial ramp-up period.

Operational fit: Retail or business experience, team hiring and management skills, and the ability to follow standard operating procedures.

Marketing fit: Strong local networks, customer relationships, social-media awareness and the ability to build visibility within the territory.

The proposed acquisition process begins with an initial application, followed by background and financial due diligence. The next steps include signing a non-disclosure agreement, discussing commercial terms and territory allocation, executing a letter of intent, and completing the legal agreement and onboarding process.

The webinar noted that the letter-of-intent stage may involve a token payment towards the franchise fee. Applicants should confirm the payment conditions, refundability and final contractual terms directly with Farmscraft before proceeding.

A Manufacturing-Led Approach to Furniture Retail Expansion

Farmscraft’s proposed franchise strategy combines centralised manufacturing with locally managed showrooms. Its focus on solid hardwood furniture, bespoke customisation and in-house production forms the foundation of its premium positioning, while the FOFO model is intended to help the business enter new markets through franchise partners.

For prospective investors, the opportunity involves more than the initial showroom setup. It requires an understanding of the premium furniture customer, local demand, inventory planning, project-based sales, delivery and installation costs, and the working capital needed to operate a large-format showroom.

As Farmscraft works towards its target of more than 60 franchise showrooms, its progress will depend on selecting suitable locations, identifying capable partners and translating its manufacturing capabilities into a consistent retail experience across markets.

Interested applicants can use the Franchise India team to seek a direct discussion with the brand and request detailed information on territory availability, investment assumptions, inventory terms and the franchise agreement.
