Apart from physical improvements, this program also nurtures critical life skills, such as coordination, team-spirit, self-confidence, competitiveness and sportsmanship values.

In a small time span, Sporty Beans has achieved an enrollment of 80 students at their current centre & expect to hit 150 by year end.
According to Mr. Suchint Joshi, Director - Sporty Beans, "Today the majority of a kid's free time is spent playing video games, watching TV or playing with other kids in parks in an unorganized way. Besides this, the formal introduction of a kid to sports, through enrollment in various sports and athletics academies is possible only at the age of 8-9 years. Currently, there is an acute paucity of organized programs for kids that focuses on creatively engaging them and imbibes them the basic of sports. Hence, there is an enormous scope for bringing in a new concept that is fun, gives a constructive engagement & is a significant value addition for kids. For a Franchisee, Sporty Beans is a low investment and high return business model. Sporty Beans is looking forward to signing up 50 centers in the next two years, each with average enrollment strength of 40-60 kids. There could be 2 broad categories of target Franchisee: 1. Husband-wife who have the passion for Sports, are fitness enthusiast & love to spend their time with kids, and 2. Existing pre-school having the requisite space."
Sporty Beans entrusted Francorp to develop a sustainable model and growth plan for the proposed business format. Commenting upon this association, Mr. Gaurav Marya, Managing Director, Francorp, said, "In India, the formal education programs develop only a limited no. of qualities and skill-sets in the kid. Hence there is a need for various activity-based programs that target overall development of kid's physical, mental and social skills. Sporty Beans' sports based program gradually introduces the kid to organized sports activity during his formative years, for his all-round development. Francorp has successfully assisted Sporty Beans in developing the right franchise format & identifying the target markets as part of roll-out strategy."
