Why Hyderabad
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport handles roughly 25 million passengers a year according to airport authority traffic reports, with direct flights to Dubai, Doha, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and London. The US consulate in Hyderabad describes itself as one of the busiest student-visa posts in the world, and Telangana and Andhra Pradesh together are among the largest source regions for Indian students in the USA by ministry of education estimates.
- Outbound travel: a large IT workforce in HITEC City, Gachibowli and the Financial District travels on business to the USA, UK, Singapore and the Gulf, and on holiday to Thailand, Dubai, Bali and Europe.
- Student departures: Ameerpet, Begumpet, Himayatnagar and Secunderabad hold dense clusters of education consultants and test-prep centres; the peak departure windows are July to August and December to January.
- Forex and travel-agent density: Begumpet, Banjara Hills, Abids and Secunderabad have long-established forex counters and IATA agents who already sell SIM cards as an add-on.
- University and IT corridors: University of Hyderabad, Osmania University, IIT Hyderabad, JNTU and ISB, plus the Outer Ring Road tech parks, give you repeat corporate and student demand in one territory.
- Low competitor presence: no eSIM brand runs a visible counter or local partner network in Hyderabad as of October 2026.

Investment and return

Illustrative monthly sales scenarios
At a ₹1,200 average order, before override and before your own costs. These are illustrations, not results; no Hyderabad franchise has operated yet.
Hyderabad 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 ₹3,00,000 setup fee in about 3 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%.

Hyderabad franchise questions
What does the Hyderabad eSIM franchise cost in total?
The setup fee for Hyderabad is ₹3,00,000. We recommend an opening wallet of ₹1,00,000, which equals the monthly minimum that applies from month four. A mall or airport counter, if you take one, costs roughly ₹1,00,000 to ₹3,00,000 to fit out, depending on the location. Staff, rent and your own marketing are extra.
How much can a Hyderabad franchisee earn?
It depends entirely on how many eSIMs you sell. As an illustration, 300 eSIMs a month at a ₹1,200 average order is ₹3,60,000 in sales and ₹1,26,000 of margin at 35%. Above ₹5 lakh in monthly sales the margin rises to 40%. Sub-reseller sales add a 5% override. These are illustrations, not results, because no Hyderabad franchise has operated yet.
Which territory does the Hyderabad franchise cover?
GHMC limits, Secunderabad and the Shamshabad airport corridor on an exclusive basis, plus sub-reseller recruitment rights across Telangana. Online orders from Hyderabad pincodes placed through the Hyderabad franchise page are credited to you.
Is an airport counter included?
Counter rights are included, but the counter itself depends on the airport operator's retail tender process. Until a counter is available we route airport demand to you through the city page, local ads and physical SIM stock held on consignment.
When does the monthly minimum start?
From month four. The minimum is ₹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 so that you can recruit sub-resellers and set up your counter first.
How do student departures affect the Hyderabad business?
Student demand is seasonal. July to August and December to January are the peaks for the USA, UK, Canada and Australia. The student SIM carries a higher average order than a holiday eSIM, from ₹2,999 to ₹3,999 for the starter kit, and continues as a monthly plan for up to 12 months, which earns you margin on each renewal.
