Family is not an important thing…

MJ Fox: “Family is not an important thing, it’s everything”. Common fact, known to all, said by all, implemented by few. Great families demonstrate 3 traits –

1) They are everywhere, e.g., the Marwaris, one gigantic family, that practically runs our trade, industry and white-collar echelons. “Jahan na pahunche gaadi, wahan pahunche Marwari”.

2) They nurture one another — Patriach Rothschild invested in each of his relatives’ banks across European alpha cities, a method that led to a multi century US$ 2T empire when implemented across generations.

3) They are venomous, if hit — When Vito was hit, the Corleones gunned down the Tattaglias on the street. Chappel took on Saurav, but the cricketing fraternity brought Greg down.

We, at OfBusiness, are out to build a family that rivals these. We mushroom across real, Tier II India, hitherto uninhabited by mainstream. Every new OfBian has been inducted into, invested in and celebrated by the old OfBian. But if one acts against the family values, we first ostracize and then punish.

“A family that eats together stays together”. Last night some of us dined together, longing for more diners, nights and locations!
