I too would think it is helpful (although I have no bone to crunch) for you, and any business endeavor to get a leg-up, rather than go to a venture capitalist (I do not know the implications involved). Correct? So this is what I feel: put a time period in place as to when one weens away from the "sops," if at all. Think of it as essential mother's milk, or suckling at the teat of a nurse maid. Also bear in mind that business never shies from wanting again and again, and more and more. Once again from my dad, "Asloloi roddta nasloloi roddta." It should not becomes, or should it --- a modus operandi. Later some also are deemed too big to fail, and there are some superb examples. That is also referred to as success.
Collate all suggestions and make your decision, unless you have made one since your post appeared. And seriously I hope your concerns on the lines of lok kitem chintele / lok kitem mhuntele is not pushing you towards kristanv guilt, and hope that for the success of your entrepreneurship, you are being facetious. The christians btw, do not have too many compunctions. So go for it in clean conscience. Thrive and keep going. venantius j pinto Message: 9 > Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:35:44 -0800 (PST) > From: Samir Kelekar <[email protected]> > To: Goanet <[email protected]> > Subject: [Goanet] Need feedback --- meeting the CM to ask for > concessions for small IT companies > > A couple of us --- all IT enterprenuers mostly from Goa ( I am the only one > based in > Bangalore) are planning to meet the Goa CM asking > for tax breaks in Goa for small IT software development companies (less > than Rs. 10 crores annual revenue). > > I need feedback from this group as to what people think of this. > I dont want cribs later saying that you are buddy to the CM etc. > > The Goan IT entreprenuers feel that they are having a tough time and tax > sops would help > a bit.
