JumpBunch Launches its First International Master Franchise in India


Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Tuesday, August 10, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- JumpBunch® Inc USA, a franchisor that provides sports and fitness programs for kids, announced the successful launches of its first international master Franchise in India to M/s Fun Factory. As part of their expansion plans, they will run and manage the Franchise network in India. The potential that they see in India is large and they believe that this is a fertile market to tap into as they grow.

JUMPBUNCH® Inc. USA (www.jumpbunch.com) provides a "Friendly Introduction" to sports, fitness, and physical education training to children in Preschools, Day-cares, Schools and other similar facilities for the last 13 years. This program is targeted at kids between the ages of 2 years and 8 years. It currently operates around 37 franchises in about 26 states in the US. This is their first venture outside of the US. Every week 15000 kids go thru the JumpBunch program all over the US.

Thomas Bunchman, President and CEO, JumpBunch Inc said, "We are proud to have Dhana and Deepak as our first International Master Franchise. They are extraordinarily talented people with a passion for introducing sports skills to children across India. We expect this to be a springboard for further international Master Franchises across the globe."

DhanaLaxmi and Deepak, Founders, Fun Factory, said," Jumpbunch has devised a curriculum that provides awareness and generates an interest among children towards sports and fitness at a very early age. The objective is to make sports and fitness learning a fun and enjoyable activity and to cultivate it as a habit early on in life." "The curriculum, developed and currently used in the US offering 70 international activities, aims to improve a child's motor skills & coordination and build soft skills like team play, team work, directional abilities, discipline, etc and also help build the basic skills towards playing bigger and better sports after the age of 8, " they further added.

The curriculum uses age-specific equipment that helps maintain a high level of safety, preventing any possible accidents or injuries. Their model is a portable one with JumpBunch associating with various schools in Bangalore and offering this activity either as part of the school curriculum or as an after school activity. The sessions are conducted in a musical & fun filled environment with the children enjoying what they are doing and not completely realizing that they are actually exercising and learning the technicalities of the sport. This is also offered in various activity centres as an after school activity across the city.
