Tell me something. Why did you quit ICE?
Was it because of study pressure? -No. I got more clarity.
Huh? -I'm opening a start-up.
That's right!
Come on.
You can open your start-up here. Here's your room and wardrobe.
Come in. It's all yours.
Here's the kitchen,
and the common toilet is on the right.
And listen to me. If you,
need anything else, figure it out yourself.
'Isn't he the one who hacked the website of BillNext?'
'He didn't hack the site. He was helping them. -How do you know?'
Baba knows him, so he requested me. We can manage for a few days.
Will Baba decide who will live here, and who won't?
Don't tell me... What? -Talk softly.
Talk softly. -Why should we keep a stranger? What if he robs us?
He's not a stranger. He's Baba's friend.
That's right. Let's call all of Baba's friends here.
Who will pay for the water and electricity? -I will manage that.
Do it as you wish. -What does that mean? Listen to me, at least.
Never mind.
Hey, what happened?
You've just come in. Are you checking out already?
I'm going to meet the broker.
I'll find a house soon. -Is it? -Who's this fast-track broker?
Mr Ramesh.
Come to me if you need a BHK.
Come to me if you need two BHKs.
Sea facing, duplex with terrace. Come to me, I'll help you.
If you don't have a budget, come to Mr Ramesh.
I'm here. Show me the houses.
Are you planning to buy the house?
No, I want to rent it. -Budget? -Uh...
Around Rs. 4,000.
Brother, you won't get even one square foot in that amount.
But don't worry. The solution to every problem
is Mr Ramesh. And the solution to your problem
is PG.
Wow.
Mr Ramesh, what is this?
Show me what you promised. We are wasting time. I have a lot of work.
Come, let's go.
Free music with the room partner.
Mr Ramesh, I don't want to share.
Show me a single room. Please.
Increase your budget to Rs. 7,000. The single room
will be yours.
But, Manoj, who will tell him?
Does anyone quit ICE like this?
He's gone mad.
Never mind.
Tell me when your posting comes through. And take care.
Bye.
On one hand, you say that you're not worried about Sanjay.
But you keep talking about him the entire day.
Why don't you call him?
What will happen if I call? Will he listen to me?
Maybe it was our fault.
We must not compare our children, right?
Sanjay and Manoj are different.
Let them do whatever they wish to.
Whatever they wish to?
Children should not do as they wish but must listen to us.
We are more experienced and know what's good and what's not.
He listened to us and is in ICE. Look how he's moving aimlessly.
If I call him now, he'll feel that he is right.
When he realises the difference between right and wrong,
then he will call me and listen to me.
Mr Sanjay, I'm Chotu.
Mr Ramesh has sent me.
He's a little busy today. -Who'll show me the rooms?
I will. Don't worry. Hop on.
I'll show you the rooms.
This is a first-class room.
What do you say, Sanjay? You liked it, didn't you?
Let's finalise it. Rs. 10,000?
For this matchbox?
Mr Ramesh, you know my budget, don't you?
Why are you showing me these rooms?
I'm tired of sightseeing Powai.
Please show me rooms that fit my budget and requirements.
It looks great, doesn't it? -Yes, sir.
Okay, sir.
Rs. 7,000 is the rent, right? -Yes. Fixed.
And what about restrictions on vegetarian and non-vegetarian food?
Late nights, girlfriends, etc. -No.
No restrictions. And it looks like you're from a good family.
Okay, then. Let's finalise the deal.
Okay. -I'll call Mr Ramesh and say that it's done. -Okay, done.
Thank you, Uncle.
Hello, Mr Ramesh. I've been trying to call you since yesterday.
I finalised that house with Rs. 7,000 rent. I told Chotu, too.
It's in Paschim Gali.
When can I shift? I liked the house.
Just a minute. Let me speak to Chotu and get back to you.
Idiot, why did you say the garden view house was Rs. 7,000?
What do you mean why?
Did he talk to the owner too?
Why did you do that? Are you crazy?
It would have gone for Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 15,000 easily. Cut the call.
Yes, Sanjay. I spoke to the owner. He's refusing.
Is that so?
You were talking to Chotu.
Yes, Chotu is with the owner of that flat.
Why are you getting tense? I'll show you another house.
I don't want another one. Help me get this house.
Okay, never mind. I'm ready to pay more rent.
Let's finalise it for Rs. 8,000. -It's not in my hands.
My work is only to show the house.
Why won't I show the house? -Please understand, Mr Ramesh.
You're very stubborn. Just like my elder brother.
But it's not possible. Please understand.
Should I come now? Okay, Sanjay, I have to go. Bye.
Everyone wants flats for less rent.
Listen.
How many ants does it take to rent a house?
Tenants.
Ten ants.
Come on, laugh. It was a good joke. Laugh a little, at least?
The joke was good.
My mood is not good.
Mr Ramesh,
showed me all of Powai.
But he's not shown what I want to see.
I have something
that will pep up your mood.
Mango Shrikhand?
Did my Mom tell you?
She's finding out everything about me from you.
Okay.
Your Dad has stopped your pocket money, right? So...
Tell Mom
that Goddess Amba is with me.
Just one bite?
I will eat it slowly.
I can have it for many days.
Just a second.
Hello.
What are you saying?
Are you sure it's within budget? There won't be a problem, right?
Is it?
Okay, I'll come in the morning.
Yes.
Mr Ramesh called.
I think you're my lucky charm. I got the room.
Nice.
Rs. 10,000 for this? -Steal deal.
Okay, let's finalise it. There's no other option. -Youâ€™re right.
It's perfect.
Rs. 20,000 deposit and Rs. 10,000 for one month's rent
plus, my brokerage brings the total
to Rs. 40,000.
You don't have to pay now. You can pay later.
I told you not to worry when Mr Ramesh is here.
Take your own time.
Please come.
This is Rs. 10,000.
Please count it. -What are you saying?
Do you want me to count your money?
Mr Ramesh works on trust.
You can shift in a couple of days.
Okay.
'Why haven't you accepted my FB request?'
'Your friend Baka accepted it one week ago. '
Sanjay.
Listen, my Mom and Dad are coming.
So, they usually live in this room.
Okay.
I've also paid the token amount for my new flat.
I'll shift in two to three days. -That's great.
Your broker turned out to be very fast.
Uh... so will it be two or three?
Two or three days?
Oh. Okay.
Yes, I'll be gone in two days.
Okay.
I'm Sanjay Sharma. I'm shifting to the PG.
You're late by one day.
We rented out the room yesterday.
Mr Ramesh told me that I would get the room. -Who's Mr Ramesh?
He's a broker. -My broker is Imran. He got me a tenant.
But...
Mr Ramesh, the owner, has rented the room out to someone else.
Okay...
No problem. I'll call you.
Mr Imran... -What?
We had finalised at Rs. 10,000. -Yes.
Someone offered Rs. 13,000 to Imran.
So Imran finalised it.
But...
Who is Mr Imran? -Broker.
Who are you? -Sub-broker. -Huh?
What? -Let me explain.
When a property enters the market
and lands with a broker, he becomes the main broker.
He gives the property details to all the brokers in that area.
They become sub-brokers. Now,
the who takes the tenant to the main broker,
gets a share of the brokerage.
Did you understand the concept?
Okay.
What about my room now?
Mr Ramesh is with you. Come over.
I'll help you. -No. You've been wasting my time for one month now.
I'm not able to do my other work. The garden view flat
was finalised at Rs. 7,000. Am I right?
We lost it because of your greed.
I'm new in this city, but I'm not an idiot.
Never mind it, please return my token amount.
Please return my amount. I don't want your services. -Calm down.
Anger is bad for health.
I'll show you another flat. -I will show you now.
What will you show?
Okay, as you wish.
You can collect your money when Mr Imran returns it.
You can go now. -No, to hell with Mr Imran.
I gave you Rs. 10,000 and you will return it to me.
I won't give it. What will you do?
Leave quietly. You can come back when I call you.
How dare you disrespect Mr Ramesh. Out!
Okay.
I'll show you. -What did you break? -Nothing.
You'll see what I can break.
Wait and watch. -You won't get the deposit if you break anything.
Sanjay. -Yes, sir is waiting for you.
Okay.
We can get the guest to come into the office...
What is this now, Sanjay?
Sir, tell me something.
If you go to shop to buy a pair of trousers
and the shopkeeper shows you underwear, how will you feel?
What?
Isn't it?
Sir.
I was looking for a room in Powai to work on my start-up idea.
I gave my requirements to the broker.
He told me that he will show me the room.
I wanted a single room.
He showed me a double-sharing room.
I wanted a room with a view, he showed me a room with no bed.
Next, he showed me a room which had space for just the bed.
Under the pretext of showing rooms, he showed the ones I did not want.
Sanjay... -If he wanted to do as he wished, then why ask?
Don't ask. There can be two reasons.
Either he did not understand my Hindi or his intentions were wrong.
These brokers don't want to understand.
And rent? That's too much.
If the room is as big as a matchbox,
then why is the rent as big as a box of sweets?
Sir, I finalised one room after roaming everywhere.
I found one room.
But, the broker gave it to someone else.
Why do you ask? Greed.
The other guy was paying more rent.
I agree that as a businessman you're worried about profits.
But where is the honesty?
A simple process has been complicated
to just take the tenants for a ride.
The brokers are greedy and not worried about the tenant's feelings.
Actually, he's right.
The same thing happened to me, too.
My broker had taken an advance from four people for the same room.
Yes. These brokers increase the price of the rooms by 10 to 20 per cent.
So that they get more commission.
In fact, the broker takes money from the tenant
and then they play around. -Enough.
I called you for a presentation. Not to listen to your life problems.
You could have told me if you wanted an extension.
What is this nonsense? What are these issues?
Your bag and all this. -It's not an excuse. It's my presentation.
You said my first idea was small and it was for just a few people.
This idea
will solve the problems of many people.
Okay, Sanjay.
How will you solve this problem?
Okay. Uh...
Sir, I will...
I will remove the brokers from this PG system.
I'll make a website where buyers
can directly talk to sellers. No middlemen are involved.
And the commission will not be one month's rent.
It will be a nominal fixed monthly amount.
And the most unique thing about this will be,
you can browse the homes as per your requirements
from the comfort of your home.
Because we will upload photos of the houses on the website.
And if you like the photos, then go and have a look at the house.
No waste of time, effort and money.
Rubina, Raunak and Abhishek, tell me something.
If you have a similar website
that'll get you a house as per your needs, will you go through a broker?
No. -No.
Sir, I want to make the PG system affordable.
I want to make life easy for people.
Yes.
Mom. -What happened? -I got the funding. -Thank God.
I got one million rupees and a home to live in.
What are you saying?
Did you see that?
I knew your strong will would take you very far in life.
Call your Dad and tell him about this.
No, Mom. I won't do it. He'll start lecturing me on the phone.
He will say, I should leave this and concentrate on studies.
It's not like that, Sanjay.
Only you think that your Dad is not worried about you.
He talks about you all day long.
Call him once and end this misunderstanding.
Do it for the sake of Goddess Amba.
Okay, I'll call him. But not today.
I promise that I'll call him. -Okay.
Shall I disconnect? -Bye. -Bye.
Come here.
Where is Baka?
"It's useless giving your heart. "
"You have to die Romeo's death. "
So, Sanjay Sharma.
This is a nice place.
But why just one million?
Have you got just the seed funding?
What about deliverables? What has Mihir told you to do?
I've to make a prototype and set up the company in six months.
In six months?
Prototype and the full company?
Hmm.
You'll need a proper team and department heads.
Which departments?
The usual -tech, sales and designs at the very least.
And...
You'll have to pay them salaries. Rs. 250,000 -Rs. 300,000.
Rs. 250,000 -Rs. 300,000?
I don't want
to spoil your mood.
But, one million won't be enough to set up a business.
Basically, Mihir
is still testing you.
Why will he give me one million, then?
Sanjay.
He's checking
whether he can invest 100 million on you.
I'm telling you openly,
I'll take 100 million from Mihir Jain.
Wait and watch.
Please help me find the department heads.
First of all, is the sales head
from Global Vision, Amit Rastogi.
Next up, tech head.
From Starhead group, Ayesha Dhakkad.
Treets International has the best product heads, Swara Majumdar.
Finally, the design head of Prinxster Ads, Pankaj Desai.
This is your first venture, right?
Yes. -The idea is interesting.
Okay. Convince me.
So far, you've got only seed funding, right? -And
you want me to quit my high-paying job
and join your start-up? -Why should I join a kid
who hasn't even finished college yet?
So you want me to design and package a company
that doesn't even exist at this point?
No one agreed, right?
I knew it.
Four of them said yes.
What are you saying?
I don't believe it.
They've signed the MOU too.
How did you convince them?
Right now, you're working day and night.
But for your boss.
Technically, you're sacrificing the prime of your life for someone else.
We can work hard together. But it'll be for ourselves.
We'll make our own company on our terms. Gone are the days of jobs.
Become a co-founder with me. We will work together.
And we will establish an empire.
So...
You've made everyone a partner. -Yes.
So you don't have to pay anyone,
but give them a cut in the profit. -Exactly.
You're different, buddy.
Why did the designer refuse the offer?
Okay...
Actually, I refused him. -Why?
Because I want the best. -Pankaj is the best. Listen to me.
Only one of them is the best. -Who?
Badri Pratap Singh.
Hey, Sanjay.
Are you crazy?
I've seen your designs, Baba.
That's just a hobby in college. -Think about it.
You'd be so good professionally. -It's a different game, Sanjay.
Don't you have confidence in yourself? Because I do. -Sanjay.
How long will you waste your time and talent in the Baahubali wing?
It's time.
To show the world your real talent.
Don't think so much, Baba.
Correct, Swara. You're right.
But product development is your department. I'm the design head.
Okay. But how am I supposed to do my job like this?
I don't know. Please figure it out. That's what... -Hey, Baba.
What happened? -Sanjay, what is our company's product?
PG Rooms. -Exactly.
When someone comes to our site, what is the first thing they should see?
PG Rooms and its details.
Very good.
So, now tell me this. How am I supposed to build the product
when I don't have the product? Details? -How can I give it to you?
I'm the design head. Data mining is not my responsibility.
I don't know... -Who will give the details? -No one can get it.
All the details are with the brokers.
They don't share it with their clients. They won't give it to us.
Baba is right.
How can we ask for details from the brokers
who we are trying to get out of the system? -Thank you.
Okay.
Then congrats, Sanjay. We don't have a product.
Pack your bags, go home and have a beer. We have nothing to do here.
Relax. Just a minute.
Let's ask Mr CEO. What do we do?
Yes...
Don't stress.
The data for the website will be collected.
Baba will bring it.
Where will I get it from, Sanjay?
We need six months to get the data and 80-100 people to mine the data.
How can we do it in one million rupees? -Okay.
Okay.
Do you know who sets up life training and coaching for freshers?
Hey... -No.
Do you know who's trained 70 per cent
of the alumni in the last five years?
On whose request will 200-300 students of ICE
get ready to do anything?
That too for free?
Who is that?
You're a mean guy, you know that, right?
But I won't get it done free of cost.
I'll give them a stipend.
Okay?
The data will come, guys.
There you go. -Thank God.
Alright, boys.
You have to do a small task.
But it's not just hard work like you do for the exams.
It requires smart work.
Hello. -I need PG accommodation. -Single occupancy. -Budget?
I can afford only Rs. 5,000.
Yes, it's available. -I'll call you soon.
And once you reach the building, you will quietly get the data.
Like I said, work smart.
Sanjay, the names and address of the buildings will be got.
But brokers will not let us click photos.
They will allow it.
How?
It's simple.
Students have to tell the brokers one simple line.
What? -The room looks fine.
But I'll need my Dad's approval before I finalise the deal.
Will he come here? -No, he's in Nanded. -Then?
Can I send him some photos? -Photo?
Photo?
Okay.
Guys. This is...
Insane.
Ayesha, how long will it take to get the website ready?
I'm waiting for Baba to send me the designs. -Five more days.
No problem. Let's have the website ready by the month-end. Okay?
Okay? Let's get to work. -Great.
Alright.
Guys, the website is ready.
But what do we call it? I mean...
None of these are actually working.
What's wrong with Easy PG?
Easy peasy. -What's wrong with Fine PG?
Okay.
When we shifted to a new place from our home towns,
what was
the one thing that we missed the most? -Our home.
Yes.
So, basically, we
try to find familiarity in new things.
Shouldn't the name be something like that?
A name that has
a feeling of belonging. -For example?
For example...
Apna PG?
How's APNAPG. com?
It's good. -APNAPG. com.
It's good, right? -Not bad at all.
Good job.
The website has three unique features.
First,
you have just to enter the name of the city.
And all the PG accommodations will be displayed on your screen.
And, of course, it'll have details about the rent and security deposit.
With the owner's details. All this from the comfort of your home.
The second one is a genuine problem faced by tenants today.
Because while renting the house
as in while renting the room, the owners are very sweet.
But once you shift, they show their true colours.
And for this reason, our team
will do a background check on the owners.
We will talk to the previous tenant
and find out how the owner is.
So that we can review them and give them a rating.
This will help the customers make a better decision.
Third...
The third one
the owner's preferences will be already listed on the website.
Now, you may ask, what kind of preferences?
Like whether the tenant should be vegetarian or non-vegetarian.
Girlfriend, boyfriend, pets, working or non-working.
Even their birth star will be mentioned.
So, basically, all the information is available to you.
You won't be wasting time.
And that's APNAPG. com for you guys.
Thank you.
Fantastic, guys. I love it.
I really love it.
Congrats, Sanjay. You won yourself 50 million rupees for your start-up.
Sir, this...
I'm returning your seed funding.
I want to establish an empire.
And you...
You're still testing me.
This is our vision.
And...
You know this, sir. I need at least 100 million to execute this.
You are not able to give it to me.
So, I guess
I have to go to someone else.
Right? So...
Thank you for your time. Team, let's go.
Thank you. -Sanjay. -Wait.
Sanjay Sharma, I accept
that you've finally become a hustler.
100 million it is.
Thank you.
Congratulations, big account. -Yes. Thank you, sir.
Well done, team. Good job.
I did not think he would agree. -What if...
Had I taken that cheque back?
It would have bounced, sir.
I had a feeling.
Now that you've landed the series A funding,
give the co-founders their share.
And send them on their way.
Else, it can lead to a lot of problems in future.
Sir,
when we had the problems
we were all together.
We will continue to stay together.
Good man.
Zero, zero, zero.
Zero...
Hooray!
So...
Did you tell your Mom?
Will you directly tell your Dad?
Sanjay.
Guys, meet Manoj. Sanjay's brother.
Manoj from Macrasoft. Of course. -Hi, Badri. -Manoj.
So, what's this party for?
In celebration of getting 100 million series A funding.
And it's all because of your brother, Sanjay.
What are you saying? Congratulations, Sanjay.
I was wondering why everyone is quitting jobs and opening start-ups.
100 million, Sanjay.
All of you are millionaires now. -No, not exactly.
It's not so simple setting up a start-up. -Hmm.
There are a lot of expenses too.
Okay... -So, initially, I think we'll be taking a basic salary.
Oh, is it? -Which is fine. -Yes, sure.
Our company will expand
and you know, we will have our shares, which will be worth millions.
That sounds like a plan.
How will this happen? When will the company expand?
When a big company like Loft Bank invests in us.
Loft Bank? Wow.
Interesting. I am sure you guys know that
Loft Bank has invested in several companies. It's a big company.
Not really. I mean, there's...
BillNext, D-Tech and Black Horse.
Oh, that's it?
Okay. Thousands of companies must be pitching the ideas to them.
Are there only three companies?
According to that, Loft Bank...
Sorry, what's the name of the company?
Uh... APNAPG. com. -Yes, APNAPG. com.
So, the probability of Loft Bank
investing in your company is what?
Less than one per cent? Which is
better than zero.
Why are we talking about work now? Let's dance. It's celebration night.
Yes. -Come on, everyone, let's dance.
I think we should play some music. -Manoj. -Huh?
Nice room. -What was the need to say all that?
What do you want to prove? -Are you telling me?
It didn't take two minutes to pull everyone's confidence down.
Do you understand? Sanjay, do as Dad is asking you to do.
Look at me. The office has given me a home and a car.
It's not been even one month since I've started work at Macrasoft
but I've already got a job offer from their rival company.
It's a secure, comfortable life. -I don't want this kind of a life.
I want to do this. -A start-up? -What will you do if this fails?
Will Mihir Jain hold your finger and help you?
Saying, it's okay, we can try again.
Venture Capitalists like him
gamble with small companies like yours.
Thinking that even if one of the companies click,
he'll take the idea to Loft Bank and make millions from the investment.
You're right. My idea is one in a million. -That's what you think.
What'll happen if you think that way? Tell me something.
Will Loft Bank invest in an average guy like you? What have you done?
Do you have an engineering degree? -No.
You've reached ICE after struggling. Got it?
After struggling. Even in school,
you never got more than 50 per cent marks.
Did you go to the US for an internship, like me?
What are you saying, Sanjay? Be practical.
I'm not trying to put you down, okay?
I'm telling you to be practical. I care for you.
But you're not ready to understand.
Okay? By the way,
Mihir Jain is a one-trick pony.
So, be careful. And...
Dad told me to come here and convince you. I've done my job.
But I knew you would disagree.
Because you haven't changed one bit.
What? Why are you staring at me?
Hey...
