    Cartridge World
    planning to expand its franchise network in India

    According to a report published on the
    website, http://www.ibtimes.com,
    Cartridge
    World, one of the leading franchises retailing printer cartridges
    ,
    opened its sixth franchisee-run store in India last month.In an
    interview, Mr Naveen Rakhecha – CEO – South Asia, Cartridge World, 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.”The article also reveals that the
    franchisor is planning to launch stores in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and
    Nepal and expects to have around 250 franchise-run stores across the
    Indian sub-continent over the next 2 to 3 years.

    which represents 34.7 per cent growth over the fourth quarter of 2008
    and 18 per cent growth compared to the third quarter in 2009, according
    to Gartner, Inc.“This strong growth is the result of improving buyer
    confidence in the market,” said Vishal Tripathi, principal research
    analyst at Gartner. “Smaller towns and cities outside of the major
    metropolitan cities, and small and medium businesses, were the growth
    drivers.”

    fourth quarter of 2009 and HP with 28 percent increase in shipments
