If you have been following me on twitter then you would have read that i was at Kolkata for 5 days and here is a detailed post on why i had visited and how was the tour. I had recently written about Franchise Business and how to get started with it, following which i had also written an article on how to make money in franchise business and this was all written when i was signing up with a franchise agreement with a company in Kolkata.
I was at Kolkata with the Re-Feel Team ie Alkesh Agarwal – CEO, Samit Lakhotia – Business Development Head, Amit Barmecha – Administration Head & Rajesh Agarwal – IT & HR Head. The very main reason why i selected Re-Feel Cartridge Engineering rather than their biggest Indian Competitor Cartridge World is that the ReFeel team was quite transparent with the business setup and the whole process from the beginning. The team at cartridge starting from Saswati Chowdhury – Franchise Relationship Executive , Sayantani Acharya – Franchise Development Manager, Yogesh Agarwal – Training Co-Ordinator to Neha Beriwal – Finance & Accounts Manager were seriously professional people around at the Re-Feel Head Quarters. My staff got a serious training with the whole system on refilling cartridge , customer management, store management, inventory/stock management and marketing ideas.
Refeel Cartridge Engineering
Any business would run good if the team at the business premises is knowledgeable and has a good R&D on the business they are working on. I will be opening as store by next month in Hyderabad and iam quite confident that business will run good because there is a huge demand in the Cartridge Refilling Industry if the job is pursued by professionals and with utmost care. The training was of a total of 7 days period with excellent hands on experience and technical know how with all the different aspects covered while refilling a Inkjet Cartridge or a Toner Cartridge.
I have planned to get into many Franchise Business in the following 2 years and this is the first one in all those with a hope that i will be getting a Return on my Investment by the end of first year of Business. The best part is that you can join any franchisor and get the best training and information from them and get into serious business which would help you in making a good amount of money every month in profits.
Amit, Congrats, looking forward for your store to openup, where in hyd do you plan to open it.

i am looking to start and grow in the market as i have a cyber cafe and computer services hence its a good deal for mee
Is it a refill store you’re referring to? If yes, it’s a good start since lots of printers are coming out and buyers are too many. I’m thinking of having one.

If you are a Blog Subscriber you would have already received a email recently that i had a real bad experience with them and i have terminated the Franchisee Deal with them. I dont have any relationship with them because the company never though about the Franchisee’s and always advertised their offer of joining their company by becoming a franchisee along with Almost No Support from the company. Overall i have received my money back and this is mainly because they could not do what they promised. Its upto you to decide if you have to join with them or not.
As previously mentioned i was refunded 100% of all the payments i paid less the stocks we used/sold for the 2 months period. Currently we are developing our own brand which would offer better services at low cost to our customers and build better relationship.
This would help us continue the same interiors, pc etc and the Machinery Setup is already completed again.
