The Market

A market hiding in plain sight.

India spends over ₹2,00,000 crore each year on fabric care. Even today, less than one in ten of those rupees passes through an organised, branded operator. The opportunity is not winning customers from competitors. It is being the first credible choice in the room.

India's annual spend on fabric care

Households, salons, hotels, hospitals and garment factories — one of India's largest under-organised consumer categories.

Even in metros, most fabric care still happens informally — no consistency, no accountability, no brand.

Questions, Answered

What partners ask us.

How much does a Lucens franchise cost?+

Two paths. A Collection Centre starts at ₹10 Lakh, with a 200–300 sq.ft. footprint and a target ROI of 30%+ per annum. A Processing Plant starts at ₹1.25 Cr, with a 3,000–5,000 sq.ft. facility and a target ROI of 30%+ per annum. Both earn a 10% revenue share with monthly audited settlements.

What does FOCO mean?+

Franchise-Owned, Company-Operated. You own the asset. Lucens runs it end-to-end — staffing, training, quality, marketing and logistics — so you are not operating the business day to day. This is what makes the model accessible to first-time investors.

What is the difference between the Collection Centre and the Processing Plant?+

The Collection Centre is the customer-facing storefront. The Processing Plant is the industrial hub that washes, dry-cleans and runs logistics for a whole cluster of collection centres. The plant is the economic engine of the local network, and density drives its margin.

Do I need prior experience in fabric care?+

No. Because Lucens operates the business under the FOCO model, you do not need industry experience. Structured onboarding, daily SOPs and international process partners keep quality consistent across every site.

How large is the opportunity?+

India spends over ₹2,00,000 crore each year on fabric care, yet less than 10% passes through an organised, branded operator. Lucens is built to capture that whitespace, city by city, cluster by cluster.
