Laurus Institute

Laurus Institute was established in Kochi in 2011 as a logistics and supply chain training institution. The institute focuses on practical, industry-integrated education designed to bridge the gap between academic qualifications and employability.

According to the webinar, Laurus has trained and placed 4,000+ students and has developed a network of 200+ corporate hiring partners. The group also operates its own logistics company, giving students exposure to real-world logistics and supply chain operations.

Courses and Programs

The institute offers programs including:

• MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management with PGDM and SAP
• PGDM in Logistics and Supply Chain Management with SAP
• Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management with SAP
• Certified Warehouse and Inventory Executive Program
• Short-term and specialised certification programs

The training model focuses on practical learning, industry exposure, internships, industrial visits and live logistics operations.

Franchise Opportunity

Laurus is expanding through a FOFO model, where the franchise partner provides the capital investment, centre space and local operational management, while Laurus supports the centre with curriculum, faculty training, branding, marketing, placement support and the overall academic framework. 

The first six months to one year are positioned as an incubation period during which Laurus provides additional support to help franchise partners establish and operate the centre. 

Investment and Store Formats

The stated investment covers elements such as interior fit-outs, classroom construction, branding, visual identity, marketing, centre setup, initial faculty and franchise fee. 

Franchise Partner Profile

Laurus is looking for partners who can support local operations, student admissions, business development and centre growth. The brand is particularly interested in expanding beyond Kerala and initially highlighted Chennai as a priority market because of its proximity and ability to provide operational support.
