Yogurt Factory Debuts in India in Partnership with Fran Global

New Delhi. A bold swirl of taste, wellness, and interactive fun is arriving in Indian malls and high streets as #YogurtFactory, France’s No. 1 frozen yogurt brand, makes its much-anticipated debut in India. In a strategic alliance with #FranGlobal, the international expansion arm of Franchise India, Yogurt Factory is launching its gourmet 0% fat dessert concept to cater to the growing Indian demand for mindful yet indulgent food experiences.

Draped in its signature “red overalls” branding and cheeky Parisian charm, Yogurt Factory promises a guilt-free, all-pleasure adventure that redefines how India experiences dessert. With a robust international presence of over 85 stores in 10 countries including France, Belgium, Spain, and Malaysia, Yogurt Factory’s arrival marks a significant moment in India’s dessert retail landscape.

A Frozen Celebration with No Guilt

Founded in Paris in 2011 by HEC Paris alumni Ouriel Hodara and Emmanuel Tedesco, Yogurt Factory has become a cult favorite for offering 0% fat frozen yogurt topped with gourmet treats, all served in a vibrant, interactive format. Customers choose from quirky cup sizes—from “Mignon” (cute) to “Magnifique” (magnificent)—then go wild at the topping bar, adding unlimited favorites such as Oreo®, Kinder®, Speculoos®, fresh fruits, cereals, brownies, and sauces—all for one fixed price.

“Indian consumers are increasingly leaning towards health-conscious indulgences,” said Gaurav Marya, Chairman of Franchise India Group. “Yogurt Factory hits that sweet spot with 0% fat and 100% fun. It’s more than just dessert—it’s an experience. We’re thrilled to bring this global brand to India and invite entrepreneurs to join us in this dessert revolution.”

Beyond Yogurt: A Gourmet Line-Up

While frozen yogurt remains the star, the brand’s Indian outlets will offer a vibrant array of complementary treats including:

Fresh-fruit smoothies with unique European-style blends

Creamy milkshakes in decadent flavors

Liège-style and bubble waffles, warm and fully customizable

Fruit-loaded bubble teas and iced teas for beverage lovers

Freshly squeezed juices for health-conscious consumers

This diversified menu targets everyone—from health seekers to indulgent foodies—delivering on Yogurt Factory’s philosophy: indulgence without compromise.

Franchise Opportunities with Global Appeal

With investment entry points ranging from INR 30 to 60 lakhs, Yogurt Factory’s India model supports various formats—from compact kiosks to larger flagship outlets in premium malls and high-footfall urban centers. Franchisees will benefit from end-to-end support, including:

Site selection and market feasibility

Store design and construction

Product training and operations support

National marketing and local activation campaigns

FranGlobal and Yogurt Factory aim to open the first Indian outlet by late 2025, followed by rapid expansion in metros like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and premium locations across Tier-1 cities.

A Red Revolution Begins

Yogurt Factory’s entry marks more than a new dessert option—it’s a cultural and retail movement designed to shift Indian dessert habits. Combining wellness, fun, European flair, and entrepreneurial accessibility, Yogurt Factory could soon be the next big name in India's booming QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) and gourmet snack segments.
