Suhas KulkarniFranNet Franchise Consultant · serving clients nationwide

From within the structured FranNet system, I facilitate discovery, coach, and mentor your journey into successful entrepreneurship at no cost to you. For the first 12 years of my career I was a corporate man on a fast track, and then I made the transition to entrepreneurship. For the 36 years after that, I founded and ran businesses ranging from a neighborhood grocery store to international trade to an IT consulting company and an HR and staffing company, so I truly understand what it means to be an entrepreneur. I am from India and speak a number of South Asian languages, and I also specialize in E2 and EB5 visas and their investment requirements. I look forward to helping you.
