Entrepreneurship story....
• Karan, chandu, zing and bulbul decide to start their own venture. He comes up with an
idea for smuggling branded Reebok shoes in India without any customs charges.
• For this, they have to separate the consignment into two-halves, one half with only left
shoes in Calcutta and the other half with only right shoes in Madras. At both places, the
buyer will refuse to receive the consignment, hence the entire consignment will be
confiscated. The confiscated consignment will then be auctioned in which Chandu (in
Calcutta) and Karan (in Madras) will buy the entire consignment, pretending they are
scrap dealers. Once the right shoes pair up with left shoes, the zero-valued product
comes into a full value which can be sold at any profit without any customs charges. They
name their venture "Friends and Company" and proceed to make a large fortune with it.
• After the government in India decides to reduce the import duty on foreign goods
(including shoes), the friends decide to go to America. They get help from Karan's Uncle
Jazz. They do the same business in the US as they did in India, only this time they import
leather gloves. Soon, the group becomes excessively rich and starts to live royally.
However, Karan becomes too greedy and the group begins to fall apart.
• Alone and heartbroken, Karan visits India and secretly attends a function where Sajjan is
being honoured for his years of service to his company. Upon seeing this, he realises his
mistake. On his return to America, he is arrested and put in jail for 6 months. He is bailed out
after Bulbul comes and gives up Zing's, Chandu's and her share from what they earned in the
company.
• Karan starts working with his uncle. At Uncle Jazz's office, Karan finds out that his uncle's
entire consignment of imported shirts from Madras has been rejected as the color bleeds
after washing. The news reaches to stock market due to which Jazz company's share fall down
to 30%.
• Karan sees an opportunity and thinks of another brilliant idea and Karan patches up with Zing,
Chandu and his family to start another new venture. This time, he makes Jazz's buyers believe
that his company offers a new kind of shirt in the market, which changes its color every time
it is washed, hence a common man gets a new shirt every time he washes it. The buyers order
a trial order of 5,000 pieces and the public goes crazy over this new shirt, due to which Karan
receives another order, this time for a much larger number of shirts. The shares of Jazz's
company skyrocket as the public buys many shirts, hence recovering his Uncle Jazz' loss.
• Karan, Zing, Chandu, and Bulbul are now partners with Jazz in "Friends and Company", but it
is turned into a public limited company. With his wife, son, friends and having made his father
proud, Karan is finally content with his life.
