Important Notes
Model
Mr. Subhasish Chakraborty, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director of DTDC pioneered DTDC’s unique franchise-based business model that is not only the first of its kind in the Industry but also has been emulated overseas and studied as a business case by leading management institutes. This distinctive model has facilitated the creation of the organization’s formidable reach in India, as well as cultivated entrepreneurship opportunities for its partners.
Mr. Chakraborty had envisioned an India that would witness phenomenal economic growth with the biggest drive coming from Tier II and Tier III locations. Following this vision, DTDC initiated the expansion of its franchisee network in "B" and "C" category cities, that too by offering subsidized investment rates at the start-up stage.
The franchisee system assists start-ups with minimal capital investment and helps them generate business and profit for themselves and for DTDC, in return. Beginning with the lowest, a franchisee can avail DTDC's franchise by investing 75,000 INR within an area of 75 square feet. There are other options too, wherein a franchisee can partner with the brand by investing 1 lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh INR. Any individual with a strong desire to lead the life of an entrepreneur and the zeal to serve the customers' business ethics can aspire to be a DTDC franchisee.
Background and History
The fundamental idea behind the DTDC franchise mechanism, was to foster entrepreneurship; create entrepreneur opportunities for people from all walks of life; and form a channel for social change. This ideology led to the insight to create budding entrepreneurs out of energetic business-minded individuals, who had the desire but lacked the guidance and the resources to start on their own. Their alignment with DTDC through the low-cost franchise system supported their requirements of capital, access to technology, equipment and knowledge. This ignited their pursuit for enterprise and transformed DTDC into a household name. It also created uncharted employment avenues for the downtrodden and empowered innumerable first-time, independent and unorganized entrepreneurs.
It was an extraordinary vision of 'sharing of wealth' that went on to extend entrepreneurship opportunities for urban and rural population as well. This was achieved by setting-up at least one franchisee, at subsidized rates, in each taluka What's more, the scope of this franchise chain never ends. DTDC is now running a special project to facilitate subsidized outlets for Army people who suffer injuries at work.
Structure
Aligned with its founding principles, DTDC's franchisee model has been structured to address the requirements of a robust pan-India presence and highest service levels for clients. Internationally, DTDC ensures presence via subsidiaries, joint ventures, representative offices and franchisees as well.
As the key elements of this framework, the following categories of franchisees currently operate in DTDC
Single Unit Franchisee
This is the most basic form of the franchisee in the DTDC system, which covers more than 95 percent of its network and contributes to 75 percent of its business. This type of franchisee represents a small territory or a particular pin-code. They are responsible for the development of the business and serving the customers within a limited territory.
Master Franchisee (MF)
Master franchisee represents a franchisee-operated unit in an area within the city limits of the Regional Office, with one or more of the reporting franchisees under its purview. In addition to the role of the Single Unit Franchisee, the MF is responsible for operations and development of the other franchisees within its territory.
Super Franchisee (SF)
Super franchisee represents a franchisee-operated unit in an independent territory or district within a region, with one or more reporting franchisees. It acts as an extended branch that is responsible for business development, operations and servicing of the clients. They are a key member of the system and the appointment procedure for SF is different from the two franchisee categories mentioned above.
Corporate Franchisee (CF)
An experienced individual from the industry, with basic office infrastructure, an investment capacity and business contacts with corporate houses, is eligible to become a DTDC Corporate Franchisee to promote its products and services. This is a highly specialized form of franchisee, which the company appoints selectively.
All the above franchisees are responsible for the protection of the DTDC brand and upholding the corporate image in their territory or area of operations.
New franchises are given the opportunity to join as Single Unit Franchisees, and slowly graduate to higher categories explained above.
Training and Development
DTDC's unique franchisee-based model lies at the heart of its success; and a robust Training & Development programme underpins this success. As soon as a franchisee joins, he / she undergoes an induction programme, where he / she is given an overview of all the facets of running a franchise. DTDC provides a welcome kit to a franchisee, which includes all the critical equipment and material needed to start the business. Plus, a special incubation cell is created to guide the franchisee on a daily basis especially, during the initial few weeks. DTDC also organises training on various operational subjects for the franchisee's field staff through its branch offices. Periodic product training and knowledge sharing is encouraged through one-on-one interaction, meetings and online modules. Franchisees can also access the latest information through the franchisee intranet.
Additional Support given by DTDC Includes
- System & procedures, which can be taught, replicated and delivered profitably.
- Access to continuous research and new product development
- IT support
- Marketing and Promotional advice
- Management and Business planning
- Strong Operational support
- Standard Uniform Policy.
At DTDC they believe in continuous training and development throughout the life cycle of the franchisee (Channel Partner). Some of the recent initiatives towards this include:
Channel Partner Induction Program
Each and every channel partner that joins the DTDC family will go through a 2 day induction program where they will be able to learn about the Vision, Mission and History of DTDC. Along with this the new channel partner will get trained on the operational, managerial and financial aspects of the business.
Incubation Help Desk(IHD)
The Incubation Help Desk will address all administrative queries of the newly inducted CP to enable him to play smoothly the role of a partner of DTDC, allowing him to focus completely on his business thus creating a win-win relationship in the process. The IHD is a single window solution, utilizing a Query resolution platform to coordinate between all different departments in order to ensure the support for the CP.
Continuous Learning and Development
Through the Train the Trainer program (TTT) launched in April of 2016 they will provide continuous training to all DTDC channel partners.
Culture
DTDC franchisees are a close-knit family and there are several occasions when the family comes together to celebrate their mutual success.
Franchisee Advisory Board
Since its inception, DTDC has never deviated from the development of franchisees and that remains its biggest strength till date. For the last 22 years, their management, unlike any other franchisor, has worked with firm belief on principles of transparency and honest business ethics to drive consistent growth of its franchisee. Their values have laid the foundation of their collaborative success with their franchisee and are proud of the exemplary bond of trust that they share with them.
Their management has given highest prority to their franchisees and has recognized their efforts and contribution in various ways. Successful franchisees were welcomed as Chairman Club Members(CCM) in the beginning. Together the group played a vital role in driving the company’s growth and as the name indicates, directly reported to the Chairman of the organization.
The steady enhancement in their franchisee strength through the length and breadth of India needed more than CCM, and it was necessary that the franchisees participated in their daily operation. This led to the concept of “Management by Participation”. Following a phase of deliberation and representations, their Board of Directors took another revolutionary decision of building the Franchise Advisory Board (FAB) on April 18, 2009.
The main objectives of the FAB are to:
- Promote management by participation
- Mentor small and new franchisees and help them grow
- Operation thrust..... Make DTDC the best service providing company
- Implement company policies and align franchisees to the common vision
- Create brand awareness
- Bridge the communication gap between the franchisees and the management
- Stop revenue leakage by discouraging franchisee from diverting the business to the competition
- Study market trends and competitors strategy and design their policies / strategies
- Strengthen the business model and emerge as a powerful franchise organization
Their Franchise Advisory Boards (FAB) are of two kinds depending upon the geographical issues they handle
- Regional Franchisee Advisory Board (RFAB)
- National Franchisee Advisory Board (NFAB)
In each region they have RFABs and NFABs. The RFABs represent regional issues to the management, while the NFAB represents National level issues. All FAB operations are systematically and closely monitored at all levels. Since its inception, the Board has not only improved relationships within their collaborative model, but has also helped their brand visibility in the logistics market, driving new business. The FABs are selected by the Chairman himself after series of discussions, reviews of their conduct and discipline. Each FAB retires after a two-year tenure or given an extension based on their performance and contribution. Their current FABs (2011-2013) are 184 in number and represent every region and zone.
Opportunities
DTDC's family of franchisees is continuously growing and currently, its network is expanding at the rate of three franchisees a day. Over the last three years, DTDC has shown phenomenal network expansion with a growth year-on-year rate of more than 15.

Brand Building
In recent times, building a powerful brand and connecting with its customer base more effectively has been one of DTDC’s main focus areas. As they grow geographically and as their product portfolio accommodates a wider set of consumer needs, they have realized that the right brand environment and communication can be of incomparable value for their customers to experience and adopt their new initiatives.
DTDC has, thus, undertaken a Brand Building campaign encompassing all India to enhance their visibility, showcase their new ground-breaking products and build the base for DTDC to emerge as a power to reckon with, in future. This includes not just creating a warm and welcoming store setting, but also trained staff members well-equipped to respond to customer needs, state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology.
While their network is spread to all the metros and tier-1 cities, they have vowed not to limit the Brand Building Campaign to Urban India.
In a recent time, Brand Building has been treated as one of the most important activities. As their channel partners and customers see the tangible benefits of the activity, it has already crossed the borders of Metros and cities, and has reached rural and remote areas. From the most posh residential areas of Mumbai to the small town of less than 5000 population Jaspur in Uttaranchal, DTDC has a common identity today.
They also believe that this campaign is binding them as an organization and aligning them to their common organizational goals apart from enhancing their visibility, bringing them new business and strengthening the already strong bond between franchisees and the management.
