In Feb, me and my partner along with another acquaintance(From 2 years) opened a cafe in Bangalore. Everything was going good except for hiccups in-between, the usual conflicts and misunderstanding. Me and my partner really worked hard for the cafe, put our heart and soul into it. The GST is in the name of third person since he is already running a business on it and told us we can use it. We started inviting people to the cafe for tasting sessions and feedback. We were about to official launch until one day..
Since customers were coming in, we started charging minimal amount. The third person's acquaintances came in and I asked if they had paid infront of his other friends who wouldn't even have heard what I asked. He in return asked if my friend had paid for the coffee, I said yes. I am not sure what triggered his so much or if it was all planned from starting, the very next day afternoon he brought around 10-15 localities who were drunk. We three girls were sitting in the cafe and my partner and other guy friends were not present at the moment. Once my partner came in, He took out a file and said I went to the lawyer, police and minister and this is my cafe here after. You guys can go out. The file consisted of rental agreement which is in all of our names, food license, gst and all other bills in his name. He hit both of us there itself and started shouting.
Then after a big scene happened, the police came but that guy took police to the side and spoke something, not sure what that was about. He gave two cheques to both of us on the day itself. He just bought time and cleared one cheque, the other cheque he himself told the bank to bounce it. Not sure what he is plotting.
I just wanted to leave everything whatever happened and continue with life. But the emotional turmoil, the hitting, the post incident scenes everything is in my eyes still. And above all, the amount of work and passion we put into our project, everything was chosen and done by both of us.
This is not a sympathy post. I feel helpless in this situation. We trusted someone and got betrayed, insulted and disrespected. I feel weak that I m not able to fight back.
Always consider business, land and property as your babies. Never let anyone have partial/complete control over them. People are unreliable when it comes to greed and pride.
Yes, always be professional, with your family and friends when it's about business, never take things for granted, like it happened in your case that GST and other legal pappers are in single persons name. Now you have one great talent experience that you worked hard. Take that experience and start small with whatever you can and build onto it. Don't loose hope, JUST TRY.
File cheque bounce case on him.. this happens if you are not careful about money you invested and your precious time. For some people this might be main source of income for some it is chance to betray and get hold even if it is bad i am sure he will lose that money how you lost it to him definately. I saw this kind of things happening around my self even though we do good people take it as chance to do bad things later they will face same and feel sorry about it.
Sorry you have gone through this. Stay strong another lesson to choose partners in business wisely
Really sorry to hear this. Please have patience and proceed with a clear head. Consider all possibilities before going ahead with anything.
Stay strong ❤️

I know sometimes we refrain from saying too much about our company. But exes can usually be talked about, since there's not much holding back.
Maybe it helps someone else avoid a mistake you did, or gain a new learning :p
