l get it, yes.

Well, l'll talk to you later.

Those in Chandigarh.. call them over

Mail the details to me

at once. Yes,.. okay

Hey Nishi.

- l'll just call you back. Bye, okay.

How come you're in Delhi?

- We had a branch-office meeting

Same here. We had a

meeting too. What a coincidence!

That is a strange coincidence.

Same city, same hotel.

you're having dinner with me tonight

Parvez, there you go again

l'm having dinner with

some friends this evening

Okay, if not dinner, we'll have a

drink together. You owe me one, okay?

You always make excuses

in Mumbai. So.. please?

All right, if you insist.

What time?

- Nine O'clock sharp. Okay.

Bye.

- Bye.

That was a good one. Pervez,

you are a really funny guy.

l hope in the right sense. Absolutely.

Having spent time with you today,

l feel you're a gamely person..

A very nice guy. l

totally misunderstood you.

Maybe because we're competitors

l wasn't very nice to you

whenever l met you earlier

To the point of being rude sometimes.

l apologize. l'm really very sorry.

Nishi, why don't you join us?

Okay, tell me. What's your offer?

Double the salary and perks;

stock options and above all..

..a Senior Vice-President's position.

You'll be reporting directly to me.

Virtually, CEO's designation.

Vow! - How's the offer? - lt

sounds too good to be true.

But may l ask.. why make

such a lucrative offer to me?

Well, best deserves the best.

Thanks Pervez. That's very

flattering. Excuse me. - Sure.

Yes, Pammi.. l'll be there.

ln 15 minutes.

Sorry, l have to go.

Nishi, can't you really

avoid your friends? Please..

Just see, we are

having a good time in Delhi.

..let's go and hit the disc after this.

- l know, Parvez.. but not today

Any other day in Mumbai.

Just you, for sure.

Promise?

- Yeah, promise. See you.

lt was a lovely evening.

Don't drink too much. Bye.

One more drink please.

- Yes sir.

My youth is drying up..

My lover doesn't give me any water..

One scotch with lots

of ice. - Right sir.

The month of summer

increasing the indifference..

My heart is burning..

l will drown in the well,

l will drown in the well..

One Margarita. - Right away ma'am.

l will drown in the well, l

will drown in the well..

l will drown in the well, l will

drown in the well.. - Hi. - Hi.

Are you alone?

- What?

How about having a drink with me?

This place is too noisy.

How about going someplace else?

- Like where?

My room.

But that'll cost you.

- Really?

How much?

- No it's too much.

- 30. - Okay done. - Okay.

Should we leave?

- No not now.

l'll go first. You'll follow me. Okay?

Room number 2019.

- See you.

l am scared and not

opening my door..

According to this report,

the Marwah's..

..are launching a new

mint-based soft drink

ln just six months. lf that happens..

the launch of our product JUST CHlLL..

..will be postponed by

at least a year or two

The project might

probably not even take off

This Parvez is a thorn in the flesh.

- Yeah

l must say, he's quite sharp.

Bloody Parvez

But he uses his

sharpness at the wrong places

Nishi, you're really nasty, okay?

Nasty with a cause.

Jokes apart, if we launch

our drink before Marwah can..

this could be a major

turning point for us

Totally sensational.

lf we can prepare a plan and

present it to the boss overnight..

it won't be very

difficult to get his approval

Let's make a report, Nishi.

The report, l can make.

But l want you to be

the one who presents it

But you've done all the hardwork..

- No, Ritesh

This is a golden opportunity for you.

This launch is going to be

a very big success story

And l want you to get the credit

for this information and report..

as far as the boss

is concerned. Only you

ln a nutshell, our drink will

hit the market in three months

That is.. three

months before Marwah's

We'll launch our drink

and capture the market

We'll get a huge, huge

first movers advantage.

lt's fine.. but how is

it all going to happen?

We'll import the concentrate

of our drink.. just chill.

And we'll pass on the concentrate

to our bottlers across the country

Whereas Marwah is manufacturing..

..the concentrate of

his drink here in lndia

That'll take him six months

But Marwah's per bottle cost

works out at 2.90 rupees..

and ours will cost 3.70 ?

- Agreed

Should we increase on our volumes..

..the cost can be cut

by 20 per cent atleast

And if we launch it on time..

we can easily achieve our targets

That's okay, but

that Marwah's about to..

..launch a mint-based soft drink..

how reliable is this information?

lt's wholly reliable

So Marwah's been

misleading the market..

..with stories of

mineral water bottling?

What else is he capable of?

By the way, l've already had

a word with Steve Jones..

for the import of the concentrate.

He's okay with it

Very well, sir. So what date do

we launch the product, Ritesh?

A teaser campaign in August. And

the product launch.. in October

Which means, our soft drink will be..

..launched in the

market in 3 or 4 months

Navin, we'll come out with a

public issue, with the product launch

We can raise atleast 40 billion

from the market? What d'you think?

That will be good sir.

Nishi, Ritesh, great job.

Brilliant work. - Thank you sir.

Start preparing for the launch

Value creation for my shareholders.

That's my only priority.

Although l depend a lot on my wife..

..where personal

decisions are concerned

You can say Devyani that

my family is my mental, emotional..

..moral support system.

- That's wonderful.

Vinay Sehgal, the family man.

Ladies and gentlemen,

that was Vinay Sehgal..

..first generation entrepreneur

who's made it bigger than big.

This is Devyani Bakshi signing off.

See you again, same time,

same day, next week.

You start asking personal

questions as soon as the camera rolls

l enjoy making you uncomfortable.

- Really? You do?

Really.

By the way, this programme

will be aired on Sunday..

immediately after you have

won the best businessman award

lt'll be perfect timing.

- lf l win the award, that is

Vinay, please, trust me.

l've taken care of

every member on the jury

You can win hands down.

- Really?

Really. Don't worry so much.

Just be there to make sure you

receive the award okay? - l will.

Bye. - And the award for the best HRD

manager goes to Mr.. Manohar Karango.

Mr.. Bharadwaj, how are you? Good.
