Mumbai, India (IBwire.com - September 17, 2009) Cartridge World the world's largest cartridge recharging retail chain with its strong presence in Bangalore with 11 operational stores and plans to further spread its wings in Karnataka state has participated as an associate sponsor in the Franchise & Retial show.

Mr. Naveen Rakhecha - Cartridge World (CEO - South Asia) will be present at the event as one of the key speakers in the conference during the show where different key topics like Starting a new business, selecting a right franchisee business and managing and growing a franchisee business will be addressed.

Speaking at the launch of their latest stores in Bangalore Mr. Naveen Rakhecha said "Cartridge World has a strong presence in all the major Indian cities. We are now looking at aggressively expanding into Tier II and Tier III cities too.

At Cartridge World the slowdown has catalyzed our growth process. Even the staunchest 'OEM only' user is now ready to give us a chance as cost cutting becomes imperative.

The presence of a globally established brand which offers guaranteed service helps them take this first step more reassuringly. On the franchising front as the sentiments settle down people are beginning to realize that fortunes will not be made at the stock or realty market and they need to get down to conducting fundamentally strong businesses.

Many Senior Managers are turning entrepreneur as the job market hits a low and uncertainty looms large. With an established brand, system and a business concept which is certain to thrive in this economic meltdown situation, at our disposal and with the strong support of our employees, franchisees and partners we are upbeat and all set to make the most of it.
