Now to the present moment:
2 years and 1 month have gone by and I am more or less a Localite.. things going on as a normal person.. :idea:

Professional Side:
I started up a small Software company and slowly opened a computer hardware outlet then a Lenovo Xpress showroom and just recently another Lenovo Xpress showroom.4 companies to be managed with about 25 staffs (FT/PT) more or less..It is challenging but very very interesting and motivating... out of 25 ,22 have done their education in Tamil Medium and have rural background.. so in a way I am proud to employ these staffs.. when corporates demand skills from esteemed institutions,there has to be some one to use raw talents and I thought I will pitch in.. so far this is working out well..

I also started out a new venture www.propertymanage.net - this is a purely professional propertymanagement services for NRI.. I know many who own properties in Chennai have difficulty in managing and maintaining a property.Its a for an NRI by an NRI concept.. I felt the same while I was in US and wanted to do something on this..and if I dont try now,I wont try ever... you guys must support me ... referrals welcome.. I am targeting a limited area now but can expand.I want to give same service that you get in the US.. there might be some differences,but I will strive to give best..

Personal Side:
Son goes to 1st standard,little difficult in this CBSE sylabus for writing but he is getting used.. wifie is helping me partly in biz and comes back home in afternoon to take care son and house... we did few trips in last 2 years- trips to New Delhi,Jaipur,Agra,Trip to Singapore,Thailand...I personally went on a Biz trip to Indonesia.My farming is also coming good.. did jeeraga samba and BPT variety.. floods did some damage but overall I am eating the rice I grew.


Shoot me any questions on propertymanage.net eventually I also want to consult people moving back to chennai and arrange accomodations,furnish etc.. :thup::thup::thup::thup:



looking forward to be active in this community as well

Interesting and you have done so much in just 2 years. All the best in all your ventures. Will have a look at the property management . Impressive esp employing people from rural background.

Any challenges faced in setting up business.

thanks poofygoogle...
well..it was always that 1st step that was the most difficult.. subsequent ones are all cleared up..I try to challenge myself at each milestone and somehow been sailing it out.
Thanks for your words..

challenges mainly in govt bureaucracy side like getting a TIN, filing etc.. nothing much....

Congratulations!

All the best for your ventures. Inspiring for people coming back.

Congratulations Gopi. Any reason why you chose not to keep the pricing as a percentage of the rent ?

wow Gopi. congratulations. i live in chennai., moved in 2007. keep going. This is the way to be an entrepreuner in india. Not even 20% of what you had achieved i did. very inspiring. good how. Jeera samba.. always a top draw

Percentage is very variant range in India... I chose quarterly payment plans instead..
