India 'Beat' Me: Aussie Entrepreneur Loses Rs 30 Lakh in Bengaluru Business

• Australian entrepreneur Chris H lost Rs 30 lakh in his Bengaluru garment company, Benevolentia, due to "unprofessional workers."
• Workers frequently quit without notice, despite high wages (Rs 30,000/month) and good working conditions, disrupting orders.
• Chris, who moved from Australia, aimed to create an ethical garment business after his wife got a tech job in Bengaluru.
• Cultural differences, like a worker quitting due to her husband's disapproval of praise, complicated operations.
• Chris hired an operational manager to adapt to India's hierarchical work culture, contrasting with Australia's egalitarian style.

Why It Matters: Cultural differences and worker retention issues led an Aussie entrepreneur to significant losses in Bengaluru.
