What was your thought pattern when you started it? Did you want to do something for the society? If yes, then what was your goal behind it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CT: <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/education-training-franchise\/cuddlings-town-play-school-franchise\/\">Cuddling\u2019s Town<\/a><\/strong> is a Unit of Abhiram Group \u2013 A Complete <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/education-training-franchise\/dreamz-a-school-with-difference-franchise\/\">Pre-School<\/a><\/strong> Solution Enterprise. Abhiram Group offers all types of Play School &#038; other school\u2019s products and services. We deal in all types of school bags, school uniforms, school or play school furniture, play school toys and tools, concept wall paintings, etc. We are the leading suppliers and dealers of these products in this field.<\/p>\n<p>After many years of experience in the school and pre-school industry, we started with another unit \u2013 Cuddling\u2019s Town Play School (A Paradise of Creative Learning). We started this venture with a bouquet of attraction, concepts and role play models for tiny tots based on the &#8216;play-way&#8217; methodology or &#8216;learning by doing&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p>Cuddling\u2019s Town aims to offer quality education to children to help them to grow in a harmonious environment resulting in their all round development.

What has been the most difficult aspect of getting your brand off the ground and how did you overcome that and what kind of activities are facilitated by your school regarding children\u2019s holistic development? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CT: The most difficult thing we faced was the combination of quality education and a successful business. Most <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise\/\">franchises<\/a><\/strong> focus either on quality education, which is good for the kids of course, or a successful business, which does not provide good <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/franchise-business-opportunities\/education-training-franchise\/\">education<\/a><\/strong>. Keeping this in mind, we came up with the Idea of Cuddling\u2019s Town Play <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.franchisemart.in\/\">Franchise<\/a><\/strong>, which comes with the Dual Franchise and 0% royalty business. With this, we not only focus on providing a good quality education to all our kids, but a successful business to all our investor as well.<\/p>\n<p>With Dual Franchise, we give franchise of two units of Abhiram Group \u2013 Cuddling\u2019s Town Play School and Abhiram Academy.

How is your brand different from your contemporary competitors? Please throw some light on this topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CT: As I said earlier, we have unique concept of Dual Franchise with 0% royalty. Along with this, we have four different Business Models, which meets the budget requirement of all kinds of investor. The four Business Models differs in their investment requirement, services provided by the franchise and other benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4. Where have you marked your presence in India till date?
