Canada Trip

Oct 09, 2010
Went n met Angel, Amit n his friends, Aman n Ricky, the party was good.

Strange Fact - But what I felt strange was got to know that multiplexes don't have seating nos here, ppl queue up n rush to grab seats, lol, that was something that even Indian Cinema changed a long time back. It seemed India is more advanced than Canada. Would like to meet a Multiplex owner in Canada and ask the reason.

Retail Future of India - There is nothing as such unorganized retail here in Canada. I don't see small stores that u find in India. There r only big stores like Wall Mart, Future Electronics that specializes in their segment. It seems India would be one day on the same track, but would like to explore that did Canada ever have small stores or how Retail evolved in Canada.

Had a good discussion with my Masad today. Talking to ppl is really good. U get to know lot many things.

Sick Unit is a gud option. U r finance req. can be cut short, instead of new company take a sick company, instead of taking over sick company, make a good deal, where u can try out the venture for next 6 months without taking over the company.

Things to do
Lawyer - Good Share Holder Agreement
CA - IPO route n raising money, talk to Narinder Uncle.
Talk to ppl in Sick Unit Industry - Bankers

hunting on other ideas, lets see how it goes.

had a discussion on import-export licence today, How things work, how ppl profit out of govt. incentive. It seems getting to know abt business slightly.

How CRM works - Instead of asking why don't I get customers to doc with high ego's better say thankyou to docs for the customers they send.

Things to do
How did Masad find the hospital?
How do u find customers after buying the plot - Tomi Mama/Ashok Uncle.

Went with Masad to his new showroom today, had a gud time. He has done a gud deal. Property is worth 6M, he is getting for 4.5 Million, Income is worth 6 l/year, he has taken private mortgage n given first installment-2M. 2M costs 1 L/Year(Int) + 2L/year(P). Another 1 Million would complete the income. And for 1.5 M he would have his clinic or additional income from store.

This was something like comparison between Sick and running company i.e. a property in downtown vis-a-vis property here. Tomm going to his medical centre.

Things to do in Canada
Also, went to a maul where found two things interesting. One the customized beer made thing and another customized t-shirt. Need to talk to them.

And explore mini-golf courses, waste managment, kumon etc

Things to do
Check Kummon, Golf, laundry n Waste-recycler.
