A city with
creative roots.
A place to
teach design.
Kolkata’s galleries, craft traditions, architecture and cultural festivals offer a rich setting for learning design. We’re inviting a local partner to build a school where students can turn that interest into practical skills, portfolios and career plans.
Explore the Kolkata partnershipChoose the right programmes.
Interior design, fashion, animation and shorter courses offer different routes into creative work. We’ll agree a programme mix for Kolkata after reviewing local interest, facilities and faculty requirements.
Plan the business together.
Review premises, staffing, fees, admissions and working capital with us. Together, we’ll set out the costs, responsibilities and operating plan for the proposed Kolkata centre.
03 / What you’ll buildA place for creative careers
One school.
Many ways to make a mark.
Help creative learners find a direction, with a programme mix we plan together for Kolkata.
01Interior Design
Students learn to turn an empty space into a considered design, working with materials, drawings, software and practical studio projects.
02Fashion Design
From sketch to garment, students explore illustration, textiles, pattern making and styling as they learn to create their own collections.
03Animation & VFX
Students bring stories to life through digital tools and moving images, building practical skills and a portfolio through project work.
The Kolkata course mix, facilities and certification arrangements will be agreed as part of the centre plan.

How much investment will I need?
The business illustration uses an indicative investment of ₹40 lakhs. The final amount and what it covers depend on the premises, programme mix, facilities and agreed partnership model. We’ll discuss the franchise fee, setup costs, ongoing fees and working capital together so you can assess the full commitment.
Do I need experience in education or design?
A design qualification is not a prerequisite for starting a conversation. Your ability to lead a team, build local relationships and run an education business responsibly matters. Relevant experience is helpful, and the team will assess your background with you.
What does Cindrebay support—and what do I manage?
Cindrebay provides the academic and operating framework, setup guidance, training and agreed ongoing support. The local partner takes responsibility for the centre’s investment, team and day-to-day execution, as defined in the agreement.
What exactly is the Kolkata opportunity?
We’re inviting enquiries from prospective franchise partners for Kolkata. We’ll explain the centre arrangement, local plans, territory and responsibilities directly during the discussion, so you can evaluate the specific opportunity before making a commitment.
Can we discuss a property I already have?
Yes. Share its location, size, layout and basic details. The team can review how well it suits teaching studios, student access and the proposed programme mix before any commitment is made.
