Australian Entrepreneur's India Venture: 30 Lakh Loss Blamed on Local Staff

• Australian entrepreneur Chris H opened a garment company in Bengaluru, India, two years ago, hoping for significant profits.
• He incurred a 30 lakh rupees (50,000 AUD) loss in one year, attributing it to the unprofessional attitude of local employees.
• Despite offering high salaries (₹30,000 vs. ₹8,000) and a good environment, employees left without notice, often due to family pressure.
• Cultural misunderstandings, like Chris picking up shoes, led to husbands pressuring women to quit their jobs.
• Chris found India's working culture challenging and contrasting with Australia's straightforward approach, now reconsidering his future.
