@Red : What if u don't know anything about clothes and plans to start a boutique!! To start a boutique u first need to know about different kinds of clothes, their trends and art!! U can't plan to start a business in which u have to depend on others.. If u r good at decoration then u should try to be an interior decorator rather than fashion designer!! As simple as it is!!

@Red : Education can never be wasted but ur mom must be a good cook.. Here they have shown us that Kamla never let Kalpi cook/work.. No one in the show ever appreciated Kalpi for her cooking skills.. Kalpi can manage this restaurant very well being educated but just managing isn't sufficient.. For starting any business u should have thorough knowledge of domain.. Does Kalpi know anything except usual Daal/Veg chapati?? It's a restaurant.. U should know about multiple cuisines..

My only point is that Kalpi's profession/business should have based on her skill set. Cooking is not her forte!!

I agree with you 100% I work in the Oil & Gas Industry in Drilling Operations but I too am planning to open up a catering business in India, if you are educated & have the passion & drive anything can be done, cause you can hire the best people in the food business & use your management skills to make it a success.

You don't have to be a tailor or a designer to run a boutique, you just hire them or source your product from them, the same works here.

And I agree, it wasn't very well shown, I didn't so much mind her using the chawl people ti work in it but being co-owners is gonna restrict her growth & decision making as they might not think like her as then mental wavelength is gonna be way off due to the education difference

My dear that's where education comes in, you can learn the business, research the market & then get the professionals to do the work, a basic knowledge is always necessary.

I do agree that certain business can only be done by the right professionals but you are never restricted to do anything, you just need the drive & passion to do things.

I also didn't say you can start a business if you are good in it, I said you can hire the right professionals to do it so if I wanna start a furniture showroom I can hire the right interior decorators to do it.

BTW I already have a sister-in-law running a successful interior decorator business, she has 1 interior designer & 1 interior decorator & got them to incorporate their teams & contacts (carpenters, electricians, plumbers, suppliers etc.) in her business & she's doing great.

Though she's always hands on with everything going on & has learnt a lot on the job & is now quite the expert

Also a friend seeing the talent of another designer friend of hers, opened up a boutique specializing in christian wedding clothes with this friend, they started small but today are a big name cause the designer had the talent but no business skills so the combination of my friend's business acumen & her talent both worked great

I agree with you. You should definitely have a knowledge about the venture you are about to embark on but can't someone learn along the way too? My mom was not a born businesswomen. She didnt know how to do anything. She knew how to cook but not to be a businesswomen. She only started her business with the knowledge of what her older sister and mom taught her but she gained a real sense of it all as she progressed in this business. Just by my mom being a good cook didn't make her business a success. She had a lot failures in the beginning and so will Kalpi. And the points you have brought will be those failures from Kalpi's side. She will know she doesn't know about food but have it in her to gain that knowledge about it too.

But here the point is of Kalpi.. Can she hire professionals for her business??? The ladies in chawl knows only basic cookery. Does Kalpi has finances to hire professionals and a right place for her restaurant.. Being educated she can do market survey but does she think that poha, vada pao n different thaalis will work for her?? they are starting at small scale but even a small start up needs principal amount.. EMA cvs are behaving as if starting a business is a baby's play. Right now they have shown Kalpi's weddin arrangement on grand scale.. Where will they get money now?? Kamla isn't working and vitthal is earning money.. but 5 peoples are living on it!! Firstly Tai was there and now Sahil and Neetu!! They have shown chawl people doesn't have money to educate their child...So how will they prepare so much quantity of food for their restaurant?? Bank won't give loan to them coz they doesn't have any guarantee.. Than tell me how will she succeed in this business??

Apart from this what annoys me most is Kalpi's passion and desire.. all the people u r talking about must have something in their mind before starting their business... Kalpi has never shown to be keen for it!! Just someone shared their success story and they followed.. From childhood Kalpi was shown as a bright student.. Studying was her passion.. Even she used to solve sum of higher classes at small age.. Sudden change in her passion and desire is not acceptable for me

I can understand what u r saying.. I own a web designing company.. It's just initial start up and m facing a lot of problem.. I am not a perfectionist and I know with time I will manage.. But the point here is about her proper planning.. Is she capable to do planning with her illiterate chawlmates?? Is Kamla sane enough to guide her?? Kamla is the one who is taking decisions on her behalf.. i know Kalpi will succeed eventually coz it's a drama but I am unsure about real life.. The way they are planning about this dhaba will doom one day!! I am really unsatisfied with the way they started the track.. Had it been Kalpi's passion.. I would have jumped with job but Kalpi was never keen of cooking than why suddenly her passion changed??

Very Nice Post...Interesting discussions, I just loved reading all the comments!! First of all what's wrong IF University topper opens a road side dhaba or food court?? Nothing wrong in it nor its waste of her intelligence or grades!! Kalpi starting a new business is one the most sensible plots in the present scenario; business gives more scope to fly high compared to normal jobs. Apart from capital, business needs hard word, determination and dare to dream high, the very qualities our Kalpi has to the core !!

Its true Kalpi don't have passion for business, in a way Kalpi don't have passion for anything, not even to become a memsaab !! She wanted to become memsaab as it was her Aai's Sapna & even starting a food court will be her Aai's idea which she'll make into reality, albeit we have to bear with constant baashans of K Bai🥱. Involving chawl women into food court is an awesome idea if CV's are willing to give required attention & time than forcefully bringing K Bai in every second frame and showing everything in jiffy!

Kalpi always dared to dream high, she took up challenges (unlike her mom, who is just woman of empty words) And she has problem with the entire system which weighs people not based on their credibility but as rich & poor...so through this plot Kalpi can be portrayed as Agent Of Change, she can be shown as an example...how an educated girl brings change among illiterate women. Coming to capital, they can start it with minimum capital like 25K and CV's can weave SHG movement into this plot as they are involving chawl women!! It's not an easy task but neither difficult, during the process Kalpi has to face hardships like channelizing the raw energies of illiterate women, handling day to day operations, building good will and specially creating special image for her foot court, i.e. ethnic, Chinese, continental or south Indian etc !! Most importantly CV's have to show Kalpi handling the entire business alone using her intelligence and sharpness limiting K Bai to giving bashans to her Jayaz daughter P & Step daughter Kalpana !!🥱

P.S. I have least expectations from EMA CV's and I don't think they'll give more than couple of episodes for the entire track...I won't be surprised If they show Kalpana as owner of 5 star hotel with one year leap😆😆. CV's prove me wrong at least this time, please !!🥱
