Invitation to State & District Franchise Partners — Join Us in Shaping Early Minds Across India
Mohali (Punjab) [India], November 22: For over a century, the Dhanushdhari Group has stood for integrity, community service, and educational excellence. Since 1923, our institutions have nurtured generations of learners — balancing traditional values with contemporary methods. Today, under our flagship kindergarten brand Gurukul Vatika, we invite passionate entrepreneurs and educationists to become franchise partners at the state and district level across India. Join us to build joyful, high-quality early childhood education centers that are trusted by parents and loved by children.
Why Gurukul Vatika?
A heritage you can trust.
A business built on a legacy dating back to 1923 gives you more than a logo — it gives credibility, community recognition, and a long track record of values-based education. Gurukul Vatika carries forward the Dhanushdhari Group’s reputation for responsible, child-centred learning.
Proven early-years pedagogy.
Our curriculum is crafted by early childhood specialists to combine play-based learning, emergent literacy and numeracy, socio-emotional development, and Indian cultural roots. It’s designed to prepare children for school while fostering curiosity, confidence, and creativity.
Turnkey operational model.
Franchise partners receive a complete package — curriculum manuals, teacher training, operations playbooks, student assessment tools, safety & hygiene protocols, branding assets, and ongoing support. This lets you open and scale high-quality preschools rapidly and consistently.
Brand & marketing support.
Leverage decades of goodwill and professionally produced marketing collateral to build local awareness. We provide launch marketing templates, digital campaign guidance, admissions process support, and community engagement strategies.
Focus on safety, health & child welfare.
Our operating standards include child-safety checks, standardized emergency procedures, first-aid training, and daily hygiene routines — non-negotiables at every Gurukul Vatika centre.

We welcome two levels of partners:
1. State Franchisee

Responsibilities: Recruit & onboard district franchisees, maintain quality standards statewide, handle state-level marketing, coordinate regional training, and ensure regulatory compliance across districts.
