And this trust and friendship is my bigger reward, more than the profits and the awards that this venture got me.Emmie is the face behind the popular Midlands-based blog, Carpe Diem Emmie. Although we had to discontinue the papain plant in 2002 due to the natural end of the product’s life–cycle, I am proud to say that I am still friends with all my international papain customers. Facts and figures and awards aside, we earned priceless credibility worldwide, and we established long–term, enduring customer relationships at a time when the term ‘customer relations’ was not yet a part of the management vocabulary. As I said earlier, we became a respectable Indian exporter at a time when India was looked down upon in international markets. We withstood all these tests but ultimately we triumphed. Even after this, there were discounts and long credit periods. We had to supply the goods on consignment basis, which meant that the customer pays only after receiving the product in good condition and after satisfactorily testing its quality and quantity as per their parameters. Gradually, we managed to get a few overseas buyers. Now, what about creating demand? India was still a socialist economy then and its exports were rated very poorly. And, last but not the least, some advised me to go for real estate, where the ‘real’ money was. Yet others opined that I should choose one of the businesses in which our community had a stronghold like becoming a cloth merchant or a grain merchant. Some said that if at all I wanted to do business, I should opt for something more sensible than agriculture. Some advised me not to let the ‘golden goose’ of a government job escape my hands. My well–wishers, and fortunately I have many, were forthcoming with well–meant counsel. People thought that I was either silly or plain foolish to give up a paying and ‘well–rewarding’ government job and choose a risk–prone, uncertain and ill–rewarding business venture in agriculture. It was not a very rewarding or lucrative option then, and it is not so now too. I had been offered a secure and respectable post of deputy collector at the age of twenty– three, but I opted for an entrepreneurial venture in the area of agriculture. I had a difficult choice of careers before me when I was young. My first ‘blunder’, if I may say so, was the choice of agriculture as my career. Nevertheless, these ‘failures’ or ‘blunders’ have taught me the tough lessons of my life. As such, these failures may be actual or as perceived by my well–wishers and those close to me.
This will be more an account of my failures and follies rather than my successes and achievements. I would like to tell the story of my humble work and experiences of the past four and a half decades to the youth of today, who are on the verge of entering the practical world.
