Let's talk business

One of the first things a profit making organization does is plan for risk and risk mitigation

Risks and business are synonymous

All companies go through crisis

Who doesn't know the strikes in Maruti Udyog?

Did it shut down?

Who doesn't know of the Satyam scam?

I for one know more about it than anyone else as I was closely associated with this company

It went through bankruptcy after its founder declared his scam

It went to the brink of closure

It was taken over

It survived

A business closes down only for three reasons:

When it is unable to counter risks

When the financial viability is very less

When it is simply not interested

To say a bunch of fans caused a show to shut shop

Or a lead actor's leaving cause it to close

Is poor business

Pathetic business management

Horrid risk management

At the end of the day if a business wants to survive

It will over come anything

Demands

Pressures

Losses

'Anything

Because it can be done

An organized business also needs to give

Advance notice to employees

Compensation for job loss

Advance intimation to customers and sponsors

So, if required an actor's absence can be accommodated with a changed storyline

A love story can be ended and other tracks like Anjali's could be developed

Even Viraf could have been shown negative, ASR missing and finally Khushi could have found her love back

At the end of the day'.where there is a will there is a way

But there is no way when the PH claims 'The story has run its course'

There si no way when a big channel claims to shut the show because 'The lead actor is going to act in films' just after it holds its biggest event

Brings me to the conclusion

Are the poor emotional fans the pawns in the larger scheme of things?

At the end of the day it was bad business management and fans paid the price

As always the mango man (aam aadmi) is the one who pays
