After completing his entrepreneurship course from Australia, Sanket came back to India and started a coffee shop 'Premium Cold Coffee' in a famous mall in Delhi. Its speciality was the special aroma of coffee and a wide variety of flavours to choose from. Somehow the business was neither profitable nor popular. Sanket was keen to find out the reason. He appointed Riya, an MBA from a reputed college, as a manager to find out why the business was not doing well.
