Join Valiant Chess Academy's Master Franchise network. Own your region, run your business, and grow a legacy — backed by a proven system from day one.
Chess is a booming global industry backed by governments, schools, and millions of parents. The demand for quality coaching has never been higher — and supply cannot keep up.
Governments worldwide are integrating chess into school curricula, creating a massive wave of structured demand for organised coaching networks.
The global chess market is valued at $3.45 billion and projected to reach $7.66 billion within a decade. You are entering at the ground floor.
Chess boosts focus, decision-making, and academic performance. Parents are searching for quality coaching — and finding very little that is structured.

An 18-year-old Indian just became World Chess Champion. The country is at peak chess visibility — and the coaching market hasn't caught up yet.
"This is India's golden era of chess. The window is open right now — and the franchisees who move today will own their markets when it fully matures."
Parents are actively seeking quality coaching. Schools are introducing chess as a subject. The media covers it daily. Demand is real, it is growing fast — and organised supply is nowhere near enough to meet it.
