Bring Play Panda to your city
Partner with India's screen-free indoor play, café and celebration brand, and build a business families love.
Flexible formats for metros, growing cities and tier-2 towns.
A growing need for places to play
Indian families are looking for safe, screen-free, joyful spaces for their children, and there still aren't enough of them.
👨👩👧
Young urban families
Rising nuclear, dual-income households want safe, supervised places for their kids to play.
📵
Screen-free demand
Parents are actively seeking active, offline alternatives to screen time.
🎉
Celebrations move out
Birthdays and kids' events are increasingly hosted at dedicated venues, not at home.
🏙️
Under-served smaller cities
Quality indoor play is concentrated in metros; tier-2 and tier-3 towns have real demand and little supply.
A space designed for play, safe for kids
Play Panda brings play, café and celebrations together under one roof, a destination where kids play freely, parents relax nearby, and birthdays come to life.
✨ Premium, thoughtful design: bright, child-safe colours and quality materials throughout, so the space feels special and safe the moment you walk in.
Parents stay close while kids play, a space designed for the whole family.

Franchise FAQs
How much do I need to invest?+
Investment depends on the format you choose and your city. We'll walk you through the specifics, including fit-out and the one-time franchise fee, during the enquiry conversation. Share your city in the form and we'll take it from there.
Do I need prior experience running a play centre?+
No prior play-centre experience is required. We look for hands-on partners who can run a service business and genuinely care about kids and families.
How long does it take to open?+
Typically a few months from signing, covering site finalisation, build-out and team training, before your grand opening.
What support will I receive?+
A brand licence, the full operations playbook, site-selection help, design and fit-out guidance, team training, and launch marketing support.
Do I need to set up a kitchen?+
No. Food and beverage is part of the model and supported by us, so you won't need to run a full commercial kitchen.
Which cities are you expanding to?+
We're open to metros, growing cities and tier-2/3 towns across India. Share your location in the enquiry form and we'll take it from there.
