01x03 - The Jury Room

Post by bunniefuu »

Can I be part of your start-up?

Why. as in?

You all are engineers

You need an MBA

Yogi and Naveen have quit their jobs and

are planning a start up.

Anyhow, you have to speak

to dad regarding this

I really want to be part of this

Unless you don't solve

one of their problems,

they don't need you

I know a coder, he is in 3rd year

Let's get him onboard. Trust me.

He'll rock!

I looked into your idea

It's quite interesting actually

But, I haven't mailed you anything yet

Privacy on mail is a myth, my friend.

I think we need Jeetu

You think we need jeetu?

We need Jeetu.

I'll not be able to join. Sorry!

Why are you so scared of your Dad?

I can solve your problem,

I can give you something which you need.

I can give you Jeetu.

Untill you find an investment

I'll pay for Jeetu's salary

Cheers!

and then "There were Four".

Ok. Cheers!

Cheers! Cheers!

Your idea is very good.

I am going to U.S

As soon as I am back from U.S

We will start the investment process

ok

That's..

wow..

So, zeeshan!

When do you return?

I am back in november 2016

November 2016..?

Yeah.. got some work

But you guys don't worry

A soon as I am back, we'll complete

the funding and start the work

and mark my words

By quarter 3, 2030!

You will be number 1 in your verticle

2030?

Yes.. 2030!

You have to understand and

get into the mind of the VC

they are all very rich guys

you have to suit up a little bit,

You have to look a little professional

Boss! I think all that is bullshit!

Next time wear a t-shirt

and slippers to meeting

Keep your feet on the table and tell him

write a cheque, or else I

am leaving mothrfker

Confidence is the key!

We might even go mobile only.

Just like Flat-Chat!

So, What do you think?

Gaurav!

Haan!

yes. One sec

Guys, you all are from 2011 batch. Right?

yes!

Do you guys know Shaina Oberoi?

Shaina Oberoi?

Do you guys have her number?

No?

How much funding do you need?

You have set it up well

in two and a half years.

Investors were very excited about the

idea of delivering Indian food to homes

and its very affordable

The meal that you are

eating now costs Rs. 435

Cool.

Rs.435 for 3 plates.

Its Rs.435!

Be confident, place your foot on the table

I'll give you the funding.

like Now!

Be professional

Yes!

That's more like it.

Boss!

What are you doing?

You will not get my money and

I will make sure no body

funds you in Hiranandaani.

You don't keep your foot up.

He will. How will he not?

I lived in the silicon valley for 17 years

But India,

The fragrance of soil has dragged

me to this country.

You know, I want do something Indian

we will make India's Uber

We call it "Induber".

You getting what Iam saying!

you see..

Why don't you have any

females in your team?

You think woman are not on par with men

I started Zorpolo from scratch

and today, it's worth 50 fking million

Why don't you have any female co-founders?

Come on join me..

come on.. what's wrong?

come on.. come on..

Getting a funding is equal to

fighting the battle of Mahabharatha

Pandavas were 5 of them, though.

Now to win this w*r, what do you guys need?

Passion,

Commitment

and Dedication

Ask what is needed?

What is needed Sir?

We need Shree Krishna!

Tell me, who is Arjun among you guys?

Arjun?

should be Jeetu?

I can be Yudistir.

No Iam Yudistir, I never lie

You are Bheem?

No.. Dibs on Bheem.

You are Sehdev

You are Bheem?

Naveen.. ya Naveen

Ya..I think it's me.

Iam Arjun.

Hello Arjun

In 1972,

my gradfather started a small bhujiya

shop on the streets of Bikaner

and today

Weather its breakfast with

tea or snacks with beer,

it's only our brand, that people use

It's been 25 years, we are

leading the market

Despite of all this,

Do you know what people

call us behind our back?

What do they say?

Bhujiyawaala!

So that's why you want to

expand to different sectors?

I am putting my money on new ventures

Your product is very exciting,

Perfect for our diversification.

I want to invest in you guys

That's great Gary,

we actually wanted to dilute

15 to 20% of our equity

for around 1.2 to 1.6

You guys decide the number,

I' ll decide the equity

I want atleast 51%

But sir 51% practically makes

you the owner of the company

You mean.. four of you?

Amount that you're asking

for in the market,

My contacts,

Plus new office space

Its not a bad deal at all

I am not selling vegetables, you Ashle

Ah! Gary, but this is a

very difficult decision

we will think over it and let you know

like 51% is a lot

nothing much.

Will talk about it on Sunday

Parth.

Parth?

Naveen.

Parth!

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry Sorry.

No no.. Please.

Go on..

I don't want to hold you back.

Naveen!

Do you realise we,

meet like once a week now.

You'll be busy when I come to your place

Can't you talk to me for 5 minutes properly?

I'm sorry. sorry!

Don't you think you have been

saying sorry too often these days?

Iam sor.

Yeah maybe I am screwing

up a lot these days

I am really sorry

Naveen, Its not gonna work like this.

We need to talk..

I am sorry..

I am sorry..

Aww Baby..

You got scared?

Arey. It's not funny.

Yogi was saying,

Ashish brokeup the same way

He got busy with the startup,

he couldn't give time to his girlfriend

What nonsense!

such a cliche.

But cliches exists for a reason

Let us do some clihe?

Let's go to Goa.

What about your Bangalore trip?

I'll skip it

and moreover we dont even know when

we get time after this weekend.

Don't be foolish and

ignore the job.

Your job stays with you for the

next 30 years, even if I don't

just go to Bangalore

Lets go to Goa!

It's just a small project, anyway

Don't cheat your work!

Will go to Goa someother time.

Ok. What defines you better?

Business Consultant at Mckenzie

or Naveen Bansal's girlfirend?

Tell me.

Ok fine.

I will go to Bangalore

Very unromantic ashole

What un-romantic ashole

We can have fun here as well.

wanna drink something?

Ya.. One hazelnut cappucino and

one Chicken tikka sandwich

One tea and two idlis please.

and dessert?

and what cigerrates do you have?

Goldflake. Sir

Yogi is looking for loan

and don't know how much

to depend on Mandal!

and about Gary's proposal,

at times feel it's a necessity

and some times I feel its greed!

But you don't have to

necessarily settle for Gary

Tomorrow, you have an event

won't there be potential investors?

there will be.. But..

may be for one last time.

We are running out of time, Shreya

If none of the investors show any

interest in our tommorow's presentation

we might have to go with Gary

Did you try your Jury room approach?

No.. not yet.

What do your 3 stooges say?

Nothing as yet

They are banking on me to

take the right decision.

That's getting me more scared

I could hug you right now

and say that you will be great

you will make the right decision

or

I could be less dramatic and tell you

I believe in you Naveen Bansal

Just like the 3 boys

waiting for you at home.

Oh sh*t!

What happened?

wait.. wait.. can I get a parcel..?

6 idli's, 2 chai

Sir. Food got over.

He said he will return in 15

minutes, its been 2 hours now.

asked me to wait just for a tea.

I need to go home and sleep

Yogi, call him now.

He left his phone here,

we would have made tea here itself

If this ashole wouldn't have used

all the milk to set the curd

Tomorrow is an important day

How do we get lucky if

we don't eat curd and sugar?

Shut up! You piece of crap

Ashole

For the last 6 hours you are only

changing the font of Thank You.

Aey.. Aey.. Its very important to

make a lasting impression. Ok!

I had been to print visiting

cards, you motherfckr

What do you do when you meet

investors and they ask for contacts?

Guys, what's happening here?

Naveen, this is harrasement at work place,

I can't work like this.

I can't tolerate this.

What you can't tolerate?

You 'll take my laptop to the room and

jerk off watching Wolf of Wallstreet

No, I was preparing for the pitch.

I''ll k*ll you batd

You know what I saw on touchpad?

Yogi, what are you saying man?

We had to use sanitizer,

Jeetu tell him.

Stop it.. Stop it Yogi.

Yogi, Behave your age.

You are bullying us since 10th standard.

Stop it now.

Madal, he's right. there's was

something on the touchpad that day!

Jeetu! You are doubting me?

I swear, it was just curd.

Jeetu relax,

we have an event tomorrow,

don't be stressed.

You be quiet.

Do you even know what stress is?

Soumya is asking for

watermelon from past 3 days

and I am not able to do it because

from past 2 days I am

getting a compilation error

I am lying here since 2 days and

I am exhausted doing this

I thought of having a good sleep today

to be ready for tomorrow's event

But now you ruined it by

coming two hours late

Now, the market at Borivali opens at 6am,

I have to buy it from there.

Soumya will also ask

me to get fresh fish also,

So I need to carry watermelon in

one hand and fish in the other

and travel in local train from Borivilli,

because my bike is punctured and

no time to repair it because I

am lying here since the last two days

Stress it seems.

Hold this!

Is breakfast ready?

Set it up quickly, please!

Did you read my message?

I don't have time now

I am already runing late by half an hour

I have to get fresh and leave.

Where are you going on Sunday morning, son?

Dad!

Arey No.. my nephew was saying,

Vishwanathan Anand doesn't

like fried idli at all

What?

Ya seriously

Too much crowd..

These 24-25 years kids try to start the

company as soon as they get out of college.

Half of them might not even know

the spelling of entreprenuer

All virgin ases!

That qeue looks smaller.

Is this the line for Registration?

No!

We are standing to pick up the ration

hahaha

Do you know him?

That guy. Wanna be Zukerburg, Amit Awasti.

completed his B-Tech from NIT Hamirpur

but wears Harward T-sh*t to show-off

He is the founder of Litigator

Litigator?

Its the social network for Lawyers.

They had issues with co-founder

regarding equity last March

They used his own app to

file a lawsuit against him

Do you recognise him?

who? John Snow?

who Snow?

That guy in black suit?

Oh..the guy in black suit?

haan.

No.

Ya.

No.

He is the founder of

milkman.com, Ritwik mukherjee.

Okay.

Milkman. I've heard about it.

Its like the Uber of dairy products

Dairy products my a*s !

Its just an online stable.

Now they have relaunched

it with a new name.

By the way, I'm Saurabh Mandal.

This is Naveen Bansal

Hello sir.

Do you have a VC ?

Visiting card ?

Yes, I do. Freshly baked .

Then give it.

Actually you meet a lot

of frauds in such events.

Last time some as*h*le clicked a

selfie saying "I am Rahul Yadav".

Give it using two hands

With one hand is cnsidered unluncky!

Take it.

Hmm..

CEO, CTO, CMO

Founder, Superentreprenuer.com

and about those seven before this?

They were shut down.

Oh!

But this one will take me

to the list of Fortune 500

Wait and Watch!

Thing is.. Hello..

So the thing is,

The soul of entreprenuer

is always restless.

It will roaming around untill

you come up with a masterpiece.

So only 3 of you guys?

No sir..

No.. no. Its good.

The lesser number of co-founders,

higher will be the equity value.

No sir, we are four of us.

Jeetu is on his way

Yogi, call him and ask where did he reach?

Oho.. that's like 8% loss.

No problem, carry on!

Leave it Dad.

It's in the warranty,

company guy will come and fix it for free.

haan. You studied computer

science instead of mechanical

you might get tired to do all these stuffs

give me a bigger screw driver?

are you looking for app for it?

No.. no. Its about work

Watchen was saying..

You didn't come home for 2 days.

Actually Dad.

the company guys are making him work a lot

beacuse of the project

they call him daily, even on sundays

You get fresh,

get ready

Dad, would you want to eat watermelon?

What kind of project do

you have on Sunday's?

Call your boss and tell,

your dad has come from

Bikaner, so can't come today.

give the phone, let me speak to him

Dad, It doesn't work that way.

have just come for a day

If not for Pandyaji's daughter wedding,

I wouldn't have come.

Can't you have lunch

with your dad for a day

your company won't shut down without you.

Yu have grown up now right!

nothing like that Dad.

Hey! I am talking to you!

Send TTYL to your boss

Dad

Watermelon

Hello Yogi.

Yogi i can't come

All of a sudden dad showed up!

What nonsense?!

yes! He is not allowing me to leave.

Not allowing to leave?

Are you a 4th grader?

Arey Yogi.

Jeetu?

Yes dad i am coming.

I am talking something important,

and you are peeing?!

Just wait Yogi.

Jeetu?

The seminar is about end,

post lunch is our main event.

Leave quickly!

Yogi I will talk to you later

Jeetu?

yes dad!

What is this?

looks like a boxer

it was stuck behind the tank

You don't even have time to

keep your clothes in check.

and what were you doimg in the bathroom?

nothing.. phone

you will wash your hands after that or

anyone from the company will come to do it.

I am sorry sir. We have to

follow certain guidelines.

See, listen

Apoorva..

Apoorva, our friend

is on his way.

Isn't it possible to first

give us our three passes.

Like, you can hold on

to our friend's pass.

He will collect it from

you, when he is here.

Let me check.

Naveen.

Naveen.

Naveen..

Actually I,

just found out that

this is not a movie theatre

and we cannot hold

on to your passes.

But we have paid the

registration fee.

Sir, you're holding the que,

could you please step aside.

You can't do this to us

I want to speak to

the management.

How can she talk

to us like this ?

I'll get you fired.

Mark my words.

The battle has just begun.

Mangal and Pandey

wont let her be.

Stop it.

What rubbish !

How can she talk

to us like this.

Relax.

Let's figure out something.

We won't get entry without jitu

I told you, let's have sugar

and curd before leaving.

Dont' answer.

Hi Gary..

Gary, I am little busy, can

I call you after sometime ?

There's still time for the

presentation to start, Parth..

You're already busy ?

No Gary.

We just came here

to see a friend.

One doesn't meet friends

in such events

You either meet your

competition or investors!

Don't think of me as an idiot.

And Listen..

Then you won't have to

play Dumb charades.

Ya.

I'm not upset

If I was in your place I

would have done the same.

You should get a good value

for a good product..

and there is no better place then such

events to realize your product's value.

In a hurry ? I know..

have to discuss

you're future plans

I know..

But before that, you dont want

to listen to my new offer ?

New offer ?

I thought a lot..

Then I realised that this deal

is little unfair for you..

So the amount which you

guys had proposed?

Suffix a zero to the number.

Gary..

That's a lot of money!

No.

You wanted a lot of money

and I am giving you

a lot of money X 10

But ofcourse

Equity will be the same 51%.

That is non-negotiable.

I'm on my way to my

lonavala farmhouse

For a meeting.

Give me your answer

before I get there

Or the offer stands cancelled.

And ya

If you get an investor

before that then..

All the best.

But Gary how will

I reply so fast

Naveen you're beer

And I am snakcs!

If we both get together,

we'll have a party!

I'll be waiting for your call

Parth.

Did he just offer us

Jitu always goes missing

in such crucial times.

Mandal just text him once.

-okay.

I need a jury room.

Smells nice!

Have you added ajwaine?

Yes papa.

Salt water fish have a

very unique taste..

They're very soft soft.

ya.

We don't get it

over at our place!

I'll be back in two minutes.

Where are you going

at lunch time ?

Just closeby to get some milk

Rgiht below the building!

The milkman has already

come in the morning!

Dad. I though I'll prepare some

'Rabdi' for you in the evening!

There was less milk

so I asked him to.

Ya she asked me to.

But why do you need to

go in this heat???

I will have it next time.

No Dad. It's no trouble. I insist.

Saumya makes nice 'rabdi'.

I'll go get it in 2.

Wait a minute Jitu.

Sit over here.

Beta (daughter) listen.

Make me this concoction.

Papa, can I make

it after lunch ?

Take your time and boil it for long!

There's no hurry.

Yes, Papa.

Tell me honestly.

Where were you going.

Papa, to buy milk, whatelse.

You were going to

smoke a ciggarette.

Don't lie.

I've found a few in your office bag!

Papa..

How much should I lie for you ?

Before marriage

Before marriage I had to lie to Parimal

that you dont drink or smoke..

And you had promised your mom

That you would quit smoking!

Did you quit?

Okay, Sorry papa.

If you get desperate to smoke

than have a chewing gum .

Hardiyal quit

it the same way.

Okay Papa then I will go, get

some mint from downstairs!

Here.

Have it.

If you make one more sound

I will put castrol in your

mouth and make you gargle it.

What are we waiting for ?

We are getting soo much money now!

If we take more time then

even this plan will get ruined.

Naveen has the first right

to take a decision.

Then we will decide.

What is this jury room ?

I've been sseing it since

our college time.

Whenever Naveen faces a dilema

He locks himself in a

room for 15 minutes.

And he comes out with

the right decision.

And thats why we

call it a jury room.

But in such a busy event, how

did he find a empty room ?

This is the height of sexism.

What, were they not expecting

female entreprenuers at all ?

Gents washroom is open but the

female washroom is locked!

You will get a lot of

mcps in such events.

You know what..

Even in my visiting card I

have given my brothers number.

And how did you ?

If one Gandhiji can convice

lacks of britishers

You guys are still here ?

Ya.

Didn't go home?

Where is that CEO of your's ?

Actually that's who we are waiting

for!

If you're wasting time

Then follow me on twitter!

Ya ya..

I have 198 followers.

If you both follow me, then

it'll become a double century.

sh*t !

I have only 116

312 ?

sh*t !

Just wait for my app

to get launched..

Then watch how I overtake you.

Why can't you go there

and do your networking ?

I forgot my keys.

Even the other 7 are out.

So he is coming to

give me the keys.

You'll are 9 people

staying together?

4 BHK ?

No No..

It's a 2 BHK

But spacious enough.

800 sqft.

Actually

Since I got a divorced in 2008

I've to live in a shared apartment!

It helps you build..

Teamspirit.

You had a divorce ?

Sorry.

Why you're saying sorry ?

Why you're saying sorry ?

When she is not saying sorry..

Why you're saying sorry ?

Everyone is not that lucky to

have a Sudhamurthi in their life.

Once my company gets funded

But in so many years you

didn't get funded even once ?

I did..

In 2003 I did..

There was an investor who

was ready to invest..

But was asking for 50% equity.

And our founder and CEO

Was sort of a buddha type..

Said no to it .

Since then till

today I swear to god

The only time I have slept peacefully is

while travelling in a train's sleeper class.

Yes.

Come inside.

What !

They aren't letting you?

Why do you always come in boxers???

What happened ?

Tell me what happened ?

Yogi ?

Okay, I have decided.

What ?

I want to tell you'll with Jeetu.

Let's go to his place .

What are you doing ?

Yogi'd texted me.

I am going down.

They are waiting for me in

the parking lot.

What will I answer

dad if he gets up ?

Please handle it for 2mins..

Please..

Please.

Okay, you go

I will handle it.

Third floor or fourth floor ?

Terrace !

Don't stand -Hey jitu, hie..

Don't stand over here, the

watchman out here is my dad's spy.

Hmm, so what did you decide?

Mandal, lower the volume.

So what did you decide, we are

taking money from Gary, right ?

No, we aren't taking

money from Gary.

Infact I already texted

him saying "No".

Naveen, what is the

logic behind this ?

What logic, It's our

idea our hardwork,

We are working on it

from such a long time

Now randomly we would give away

half the stakes to somebody, why ?

He is giving us money, that's

why, don't you get it..

How it helps our compnay's valuation!

I guarantee you, in one year we

will create more value than this .

Naveen..

Are you serious !

We couldn't even go

for today's event

Forget about raising funds

Investors aren't calling

us for even a second meeting.

You think Sikoya and

Nexus will join hands

and beg you to take

their investments ? !

We'lll have to

compromise a little, Naveen .

Aren't you all realising

that thios guy is a 'Bhujiyawaala'.

He doesn't even have a

technical background..

How will he understand

our product ?

That's the advantage.

If he doesn't have any

technical knowledge,

he won't interfere .

-what if he interferes ?

Then we're f*cked.

We'll think about it later..

And how can you take

such an important decision by yourself?

Just because you've C.E.O.

on your visiting card

doesn't mean

you are the boss.

Naveen

We are a team..

And there is no I in team.

Guys it isn't that..

You know, whenever I've taken a decision

in the jury room, it's always been right

And what exactly do you

do in the jury room ?

I am asking you!

How do you take your

decision in the jury room?

He must be listing down

the pros and cons..

Does a SWAT analysis of it and

determines the probablity.

Even I have done that in the

third semester of my high school

SWAT analysis ?..

Probablity ?..

He f*cking tosses a

coin and decides.

What !

Tosses and decides ?

Naveen look here..

I had decided to marry

saumya after asking you!

I didn't need to toss

a coin for that.

You f*cking decided four

peoples carrer,ambition

and their future on the

basis of tossing a coin !

And what if it was the

other side of the coin ?

Naveen I can follow you till hell

but I can't follow a 1 Rupee coin.

Naveen, everyone has

left their job

This startup was

your idea, right ?

We are working 16 hrs

continously at your home.

And this CEO tosses

a coin and decides.

Was that asking for too much from you?

What was it Naveen? Head or tail ?

- Guys I don't know what it was!

Decision was taken on the basis of tossing

the coin, not on the result of it.

What do you mean ?

Like this coin even life

gives us 2 choices

No matter how many lists of pros and cons

you make both sides would always be equal

That time all you can do

is listen to your heart.

That's why if you toss the coin once,

you will come to know which side won.

But you didn't even see if

it was a head or a tail ?

I didnt see it but I heard it.

A voice answers from the

bottom of your heart

Which says..

Please let it be

heads, please heads!

That's when you realize no

matter what the result is

Your heart wants it to be heads.

And I have realised that our first investment

can't be set on the basis of greed.

Where gary is in greed

of equity and we..

of money.

Our first investment should be

only on the basis of our

Idea and skill.

Just for more funding I can't let

anyone control my ambitions.

I am really sorry

I could'nt do it.

Now you guys decide what to do.

Where are we going ?

Back to the event.

The same thing what we always do ..

Try.

Let's go.
