Mumbai Refreshed

I was talking to a friend who runs a seed-marketing firm. Her company got into a joint venture with a RnD firm. Both invested the same amount of money, one’s role was to develop and manufacture seeds; the other’s to sell. The RnD firm (based out of Hydrabad) is now playing Chinese whispers. My friend doesn’t know what’s happened with the money invested, where the manufacturing plant is being built, and if they will really get the seeds produced.

We do business with people not agreements, but how do we hold people accountable?
