No panels. No keynotes.
Just brands and conversations.

Gujarat is where India's next franchise wave starts.

Three reasons Ahmedabad is the right city, and June 2026 is the right moment.

Reason 01
30–35% Annual F&B sector growth through 2025

Gujarat's F&B economy is compounding.

India's F&B sector is among the fastest-growing globally. Gujarat alone has a restaurant-density growth rate that outpaces every metro outside Bengaluru. Capital is local. Operators are local. The match efficiency is unmatched.

450+ active franchise opportunities
Reason 02
₹40K+ Cr Infrastructure committed 2026–2036

Ahmedabad is built for franchise capital.

8.4M population. Commonwealth Games 2030. Bullet train. GIFT City. A new international airport. Every condition that converts franchise interest into franchise contracts.

GIFT City · Bullet train · Games 2030
Reason 03
1,50,000+ F&B businesses on the Petpooja network

Petpooja is the network you need.

Petpooja powers India's largest F&B operator network. Exhibitors get pre-warmed audiences — operators who already know us, trust us, and trust the brands we curate.

Everything investors and brands ask before they commit.

What is Franchise Conclave 2026?

Franchise Conclave 2026 is India's first dedicated food and beverage (F&B) franchise forum and business expo. Organized as a premier initiative by Petpooja, it is a transaction-focused platform created specifically for serious F&B brands to connect directly and build business partnerships with high-intent investors across Gujarat.

When and where is the event taking place?

The event will be held over two days on Saturday, 20 June 2026 and Sunday, 21 June 2026 at the state-of-the-art Shree Shakti Convention Centre in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

What makes this event format different from typical business expos?

Unlike traditional multi-sector exhibitions that suffer from category noise, this event features a "no panels, no keynotes" format on the main floor. We eliminate distracting presentation schedules so founders and buyers can focus 100% of their energy on interactive live food preparation, menu tastings, and dedicated 1:1 business matchmaking.

Is a "Visitor" and an "Investor" the same thing at this event?

An Investor is a specific type of visitor — typically a multi-unit operator, corporate group, or individual looking to deploy capital, buy a territory license, and sign franchise agreements directly with the exhibiting brands.

How do I get entry passes, and can I buy them online?

Yes, passes are publicly available and can be secured securely online. You can purchase your entry passes directly through our official ticketing partner at AllEvents.in. We highly recommend booking in advance as slot allocations are capped to maintain floor quality.

What types of F&B concepts will be exhibiting?

The floor will host over 50+ curated F&B brands spanning diverse food sectors, including Quick Service Restaurants (QSR), Cafes, Cloud Kitchen networks, Casual & Fine Dining, Bakeries, Desserts, and Specialty Beverage concepts.

What is the "Petpooja Advantage" privilege for exhibitors?

If your restaurant or food brand runs an active subscription on the Petpooja billing network, you qualify for an exclusive User Privilege Discount on your space booking.

What are the distinct stall types and formats available for brands?

Brands can select from three placement tiers — Premium Anchor Positions, Classic Corner Stalls, and Essential One-Side Open Stalls. These spaces are available in two physical configurations: Shell Space — a turnkey setup equipped with your custom name fascia board, spotlights, a presentation table, and chairs. Bare Space — raw floor area giving your marketing team complete creative freedom to fabricate a custom brand experience zone.

Will the organizers provide lead sheets, or do we need to capture leads ourselves?

Exhibiting brands will have to capture and manage investor leads themselves. We highly recommend coming prepared with your own business scanners, physical logbooks, or digital lead forms at your stall to ensure your sales team tracks and secures the contact information of every interested investor they interact with on the floor.

How can my brand register an exhibition stall before inventory sells out?

To maintain high quality and maximize matchmaking ratios, we are strictly capping the floor space to only 50 curated brands. Fill out the exhibitor application form on our website or get in touch directly with our Event Project Head — Hardik Gandhi (+91 63588 70736, hardik.gandhi@petpooja.com).
