Actor and entrepreneur Rakul Preet Singh and producer-entrepreneur Jackky Bhagnani have announced the launch of global franchise brands easyGym, 5àsec and Blenz Coffee in India. 

The announcement was made at a launch event held in Mumbai, where the duo introduced the brands in collaboration with Invision Brands, a part of the Franchise India Group.

At the event, Singh and Bhagnani unveiled the brands and shared their vision of bringing internationally recognised lifestyle, fitness and service concepts to the Indian market. 

The launch also reflects their growing presence in the business space beyond the entertainment industry.

Through the collaboration, the partners aim to introduce global-quality experiences to Indian consumers while creating opportunities for entrepreneurs through a structured franchise-led expansion. 

With the support of Invision Brands’ franchising ecosystem, the partnership plans to expand these brands across key urban markets in India gradually.

The partnership brings three international brands to the country. These include easyGym, a fitness chain from the UK-based easyGroup known for its modern gyms and accessible pricing. Also entering the market is 5àsec, the French textile care and dry-cleaning brand with decades of global expertise. Completing the portfolio is Blenz Coffee, the Vancouver-based Canadian café chain recognised for its handcrafted beverages and café culture.

The partnership is expected to roll out the brands across major Indian cities through a franchise network, with plans to gradually expand their presence and build consumer engagement in the country.

Gaurav Marya, chairman, Franchise India Group, added, “With the announcement now official, we are extremely pleased to have Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani come on board with Invision Brands, part of Franchise India Group. As we continue building a platform that brings iconic global brands to India across fitness & wellness, lifestyle services, and café categories, it was important for us to partner with individuals who genuinely understand and believe in these spaces. Rakul and Jackky bring a strong entrepreneurial mindset along with a deep personal commitment to wellness and brand building. We’re excited about the journey ahead and confident this collaboration will add tremendous value to what we are creating.”

Singh added, "I’m beyond excited to bring easyGym, 5àsec and Blenz Coffee to India officially. These brands are more than just businesses; they represent global-quality lifestyle experiences that I truly believe Indian consumers will love. From fitness to coffee culture, each brand brings something unique and inspiring. This launch is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see these experiences reach more cities, create opportunities for entrepreneurs, and connect with people in a way that’s meaningful and authentic."
