Kick the Kickbacks

Posted by Aparna.Burjwal on 20/04/2010

There is something very strange about kickbacks, at least as far as we are concerned. Initially, we never gave kickbacks or commissions or bribes ( choose to term it what you will). And we were told that that was the reason for our lack of growth. ‘Kuch khilate pilate nahin hain’. And promises of cuts does not work. In fact during one of my visits to the MCD office, I was told that no human being comes here. Only money needs to come with the person’s name. And since I had come in person and that also with no money, my visit was unwanted and unwelcome. So much for my ego boost.

So we decided to begin giving kickbacks in advance. Specially at Gorakhpur Nagar Nigam, Mr. Anurag Agarwal of Uptron (the nodal agency for IT in UP) asked for Rs. 50K in advance and we transferred it to his wife’s account. The project did not work out as detailed in one of my posts as Rolta came in at the last minute to save themselves from blacklisting. So although we were technically the best, pricewise the lowest AND we had given kickback, we did not close the project.

The other two smaller projects of jaunpur and Barabanki are also through Uptron and since we have asked for a price raise which Uptron is not agreeing to, we may just have to leave them midway. So I tried calling up Anurag to ask him to return the kickback. I mean, we have not really earned anything and it is a huge amount for us. It could help us in completing the other projects. Initially we asked him on phone and he was vague and nonchalant about it. Now I have sent him a mail with a cc to his seniors and have asked him upfront to return the ‘advance commission’ as the deal had not worked out. I hope this is the deal. If the work is done, you get the money, if it is not done, you return the money in good faith.

So, the point I am trying to make here is that ‘kickbacks’ never work for us. All the good projects we have got have been without commission, but of course at a low price and with great struggle. Meerut was also tough as Vivek Bhaskar had taken kickbacks from us. If we give, we are in a mess, if we do not give, it is still a mess.

Kick the ‘Kickbacks’.
