What makes SOTC a unique franchise opportunity?
"What really attracted me to SOTC was the business model," said Mr. Anirban Mitra, franchisee partner of the Saltlake Kolkata. "One of my worry points was that I do not have any previous travel industry experience. However, with SOTC, I don't have to worry about the day-to-day process. It's the company staff who manage the daily process. The semi-absentee model gives me the freedom to concentrate on my other business and professional commitments. The team is really focused on its goals, which has made my business successful."

"It's been three years since I have been associated with the SOTC family, and I can proudly say that I own three franchisee locations in Gujarat. I have grown with the brand in these years. We have stood by each other at all three locations during difficult times. I have seen the expertise and the immense knowledge of the management and the team, which has increased my confidence to invest in the brand. Today I can confidently say that associating with the SOTC family has been one of the best decisions of my life."
