This employer expects his employees to troop to a temple in Mumbai to pray for the company

Family-run businesses in India have grown enough to compete alongside the best global companies imaginable.

That’s not to say though that they are the most professionally managed ones.

Lines between personal and professional often get blurred at the workplace. Employees find themselves hand delivering wedding invitations for the promoter’s kin on occasion. Or pushing for some free publicity for a less accomplished family member’s latest enterprise.

This one takes the cake though. This promoter expects his employees to troop to his favourite deity’s temple in Mumbai and offer prayers for his company and him. And new joinees are accompanied by a seasoned company hand, to make sure they don’t monkey around the task.
