A good design school begins with people who believe in what young minds can do.

Mangalore is an established education hub, drawing learners from across India and beyond. Our invitation is to build on that culture of learning: a place where creative interests can become practical skills, portfolios and professional ambitions.
Explore the Mangalore partnershipYour relationships with schools, families, professionals and businesses can help the centre understand its community. Together, we’ll assess the neighbourhood, student access and opportunities for local outreach.
Interior design, fashion and shorter learning formats offer different starting points for creative learners. We’ll work with you on a course mix suited to the centre, its facilities and local interest.
Discuss the Mangalore arrangement, premises, people, admissions and working capital with us. The next step is a clear view of the responsibilities and the business you would be running.
Help creative learners find a direction, with a programme mix we plan together for Mangalore.
Students learn to turn an empty space into a considered design, working with materials, drawings, software and practical studio projects.
From sketch to garment, students explore illustration, textiles, pattern making and styling as they learn to create their own collections.
Students bring stories to life through digital tools and moving images, building practical skills and a portfolio through project work.
The Mangalore course mix, facilities and certification arrangements will be agreed as part of the centre plan.
We help you understand the business, set up your school and train your team, with continuing guidance as you operate and grow.
We walk you through courses, admissions and daily operations, explain setup costs and working capital, then agree a practical plan for your Mangalore centre.
We help assess your location and plan classrooms, studios, infrastructure and branding, then guide you through the checklist for opening.
We help you recruit faculty, counsellors and coordinators, train them in our practices and clarify how the team will work together.
Your faculty receive curriculum, calendars and teaching resources, with assessment guidance, quality reviews and access to workshops and professional connections.
We support your local outreach with campaign materials and guide your team in counselling students, answering questions and following up enquiries.
You have processes for fees, admissions and schedules, a team to help resolve challenges, and regular reviews to plan batches and growth.
The scope of support and each partner’s responsibilities are set out in the franchise agreement.
You could be an entrepreneur, an education professional or a business owner ready for a new chapter. What matters is your willingness to be involved and to build a school students can trust.
You enjoy leading a team, building local relationships and staying involved in your business.
You’re ready to invest in premises, people and outreach, with working capital to support the school.
You care about good teaching, the student experience and the trust families place in you.
The amount depends 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.
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.
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.
We’re inviting enquiries from prospective franchise partners for Mangalore. 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.
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.
Tell us about your connection to Mangalore and what you would like to build. We’d be glad to explore the possibilities with you.
