What's Inside the Study

Data-driven insights into the size, structure, and dynamics of India's offline activity sector.

Which city has the most academies — and which is the most densely served?

Volume and density tell very different stories. The city with the highest count isn't the one with the most options per sq km.

What does the category landscape actually look like beyond gyms?

Which traditional activities dominate, which niche categories are emerging, and how does the long tail shape up?

Does every metro have the same activity mix — or do cities specialise?

Each city over-indexes in different categories. The patterns reveal cultural preferences and demographic profiles.

How much of the sector is chains vs. independent operators?

Consolidation is happening in some categories but not others. Which ones are franchise-friendly, and which resist it?

Can you trust a 5-star rating when most academies have one?

The rating distribution is heavily compressed at the top. What does that mean for consumers trying to choose?

Is activity supply evenly spread — or clustered in a few neighbourhoods?

Some localities have several times the city median. Where you live dramatically changes how many options you have.
