Why Mumbai
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport handles roughly 50 million passengers a year according to airport operator traffic reports and is India's second-largest international gateway, with Navi Mumbai International Airport adding capacity as it ramps up. Mumbai is the head-office city for most of India's large tour operators and forex companies, and Maharashtra is among the five largest source states for Indian students abroad by ministry of education estimates.
- Outbound travel: the highest concentration of international business travellers in India, from Nariman Point and BKC to Andheri and Powai, plus leisure travel to Europe, Dubai, Thailand and the Maldives.
- Student departures: consultant clusters in Dadar, Andheri West, Churchgate, Thane and Borivali serve students heading to the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and Germany.
- Forex and travel-agent density: Fort, Nariman Point, Andheri and Bandra have the densest forex-dealer and IATA-agent network in the country; many large tour operators are headquartered in the city.
- University corridors: University of Mumbai, IIT Bombay, NMIMS, TISS and St Xavier's, plus a large exchange-student flow.
- Corporate accounts: head offices of banks, consultancies and media companies that buy pooled business eSIMs through one invoice.

Mumbai illustration
Illustration.
If you sell 10 eSIMs a day at a ₹1,200 average order, you earn ₹1,26,000 a month at 35%, which recovers the ₹5,00,000 setup fee in about 4 months before staff, rent and your own marketing. Ten sub-resellers selling 60 a month each would add ₹36,000 a month in override at 5%.

Mumbai franchise questions
What does the Mumbai eSIM franchise cost in total?
The setup fee for Mumbai is ₹5,00,000, the top of our range, because the territory covers Mumbai City, Mumbai Suburban, Thane and Navi Mumbai. We recommend an opening wallet of ₹1,50,000. A counter in a mall or at the airport costs roughly ₹1,50,000 to ₹4,00,000 to fit out at Mumbai rents. Staff, rent and your own marketing are extra.
How much can a Mumbai franchisee earn?
Only your sales decide that. As an illustration, 600 eSIMs a month at a ₹1,200 average order is ₹7,20,000 in sales, which sits in the 40% band and earns ₹2,88,000 of margin. Sub-reseller sales at forex counters add a 5% override. These are illustrations, not results; no Mumbai franchise has operated yet.
Can I appoint forex dealers as sub-resellers?
Yes, and we expect Mumbai franchisees to do exactly that. Each forex counter becomes a reseller on the 25% to 35% ladder, you earn a 5% override on their sales, and you handle their training, counter kit and wallet top-ups locally.
Does the territory include Navi Mumbai International Airport?
Yes. Counter rights at both BOM and NMI are included in the Mumbai agreement, subject to each operator's retail tender. Until a counter is available, airport demand is routed to you through the city page, local ads and consignment SIM stock.
When does the monthly minimum start and how big is it?
From month four, at ₹1,00,000 of wallet usage a month, which is about 84 eSIMs at a ₹1,200 average order. Months one to three have no minimum. If you fall below the minimum for three consecutive months after that, we review the territory with you before anything else happens.
Are corporate accounts part of the franchise?
Yes. Business customers whose billing address is inside your territory are credited to you at the franchise margin when they buy pooled plans, and our business team supports you on larger tenders.
