I have to say this finally some has spoken some sense be it Bapuji but it is true what business sense does Mohan have??

Two slightly questionable decision have already been made with the rent issue and then the next thing this contract for whatever it is for, if it is a one sided agreement make your demands see if you can get any changes made to the contract... You just know Mohan is building himself up for a huge fall and you kind of want to tell him no don't do it.

Why sign a contract that isn't going to benefit you?

There is too many flaws with his business strategy, I mean when I see my best friend running his business I don't get to speak to him for weeks on end because running a business is major work and well firstly you haven't seen Mohan do any work... All he has done is wait on the loan to be approved.

I know I am being to critical but seriously make it realistic... at least Bapuji had to right idea with wanting Mohan to take over his business and expand it... That makes sense expand your existing business make it a success and then venture into other areas of business because you have the contacts, the backing, the understanding and the finance for it...

I am not saying that all new businesses don't work but some don't because the decisions and the understanding behind the decision is wrong...

Though I don't really want Mohan in a Masala shop... its just that sometimes flying to high means the fall is going to be that much harder and faster!

Cause Pradeep has never handled or run a business either, he has only dealt with accounts.

I don't see anything wrong in mohan signing the contract infact i just wrote it in edt ... business is all about taking risks ... and when you start a business you have to take such opportunities even if they are not totally favorable because you don't get what you want on day one, you have to build your way towards that. I know Cvs are probably going to show he will suffer because of this contract but i don't see anything wrong with the risk he took, specially listening to the explanation he gave for it ... i thought it was fair enough

And just because he does not have a degree or experience does not mean he has no sense either or knows nothing about business ... this is something which is his passion, something he has thought about and worked on too ... so saying he knows nothing is not correct in my opinion.

And about baapji have said enough about his about turn crap in other thread already baapji never wanted him to venture and start his own business all he wanted was him to be at masala shop and do the business, not because he wanted mohan to learn and do his own later but only because of parampara 🤢

And i am not at all saying he will be perfect at it and won't make mistakes ... he will, mistakes are what you learn from ... but can we stop doing something because of the fear that we will falter? We can't! We have to go after our dreams, sometimes we make mistakes in our excitement, sometimes our passion makes us do mistakes ... but due to the fear that we might fail should we stop flying?

What baapji was shown to be afraid of is that mohan will fall ... my point is so what? He will stumble, he will fall but that is the only way he will get to learn and fly higher ... so iss key liye its not necessary to have experience or know business specially in mohan's case ... who has a passion for what he is doing ... to kick start anything that is the most important thing

And about business tou they say risk is a must

Sorry, yaar, I don't agree with what you've said for a few reasons:

1) In the context of the story, everyone is operating under the assumption that Mohan has a MBA from a British University. The process of getting the degree is not only classes & exams, but practical experience which includes internships, examining 'real life' case studies etc. If we look at it from that pt of view, Mohan is more than ready to take on business challenges because he understands the risks. Having said this, young entrepreneurs get venture capital even without the MBA. This is not a far-fetched idea; it happens in reality all the time. Mohan has a viable idea, he is young, if he fails, so what? He learns and moves on. The contract he signs at the end is part of his broader strategy...he realizes the contract is one-sided, but also that he has no options & that he has yet to prove himself. In business, if the venture succeeds, yes, one can 'command & demand' as Mohan puts it...contracts change all the time depending on who is holding the cards... Mohan is banking on his confidence & his ability to succeed to make this a reality.

2) Coming to Baapji, has he seriously ever sat Mohan down and asked if he has any business experience? Baapji seems least interested in even knowing what this degree really means. How does Baapji know that Mohan did not have a part-time job or an internship in London? Four years is a long time...

3) I mentioned this in another thread, but really who is Baapji to talk abt business? His business which has been in the family has not gotten very far...he has not allowed his sons or his grandson (Vipul) any latitude within it; it is fraught with errors and mistrust. Baapji has little respect for Mohan's degree, so what exactly does Baapji want from Mohan in the context of his business? Do you really think that baapji will realistically allow Mohan to grow it even if Mohan were to join the business? He is too burdened by his so-called principles & dogma to let Mohan or anyone else make it successful...

I will not discount Mohan's ambition to take a different path than the masala shop just because the masala shop is a seemingly 'safer bet'...& more importantly, Baapji is no role model to Mohan by any means...

I do agree with parts of what you've said. Mohan is a gambler. It will undoubtedly affect how he takes decisions. And he's bound to make some bad decisions/risks.

The advice may very well be sound. It's just that it shouldn't be coming from Baapji. And I understand you weren't defending Baapji, or saying that Baapji isn't full of bs. But rather just bring up that the reasoning behind the actual advice may have some basis. (Reasoning, not--sitting at the masala shop will prepare him.😆 🤣)

I am being lazy so I can't be bothered to reply to everyone individually...

And I have to say business has risks every business venture does I agree with this point and I am not justifying Bapuji but doing an MBA and having actually business knowledge is two different things, you have to work in a company to understand how it works, he might have Pradeep to work out the finances but does he understand and know how all the logistics in the business work, does he know how many labours he will need, does he know who to hire, there is a lot you need to know about how business works in the real it is two different things... I mean there is scope to learn but a mistake can be very costly especially for a business that is starting on a bank loan... there is a lot to lose.

I think the issue is the lack of contacts... I say this truthfully knowing people is the way forward within business, you have to know the right people to get your job done and without it you suffer a major set back... Something that Mohan doesn't have cause he is starting fresh but being part of some one else's company allows you to interact with people, it allows you to have investors, and it builds you a reputation...

Though I guess it is better he does this than waste away in a masala shop! 😆
