Life doesn’t come to a halt after retirement; rather it is the best time to start the second innings of the life that can be more exciting than the first

- Abha Peer Garyali

The Second Start

Many of us always desire to be an entrepreneur, but hesitate to take the risk due to family responsibilities and other reasons. After retirement, with leisure time and money saved, starting a business is one of the best options. And what better way than franchising to fulfil your entrepreneurial dream!

Debshankar Mukhopadhyay, CEO, Zee Learn, shares: “We believe that contributions to self and to the society can be made at any age. With decades of experience about life, the silvers can impart knowledge that cannot just be found in books.” Similarly, Amol Arora, MD, Shemrock & Shemford Schools, shares: “With increasing lifespan and better health – today retirement is a phase in one’s life in which they can decide to open a second chapter in their life. Since most of their responsibilities are over by now, it is the perfect time to do something which excites them.”

TOP FRANCHISES FOR STARTING SECOND INNINGS

Although any franchise business can prove beneficial if it is good and viable. However, there are surely certain businesses which are favourable for retired entrepreneurs, who wish to add another feather to their cap.
