This is a short story of a person who remained true to his sheer passion of raising and caring for goats gets betrayed, wounded and rises from the ashes like an albatross.
What I am about to narrate is not a Bollywood fiction but real events and story of grave breach of trust by an ex-partner considered family.
- Mr. Mohammad Shaikh got involved in the goat farming business by chance as a hobby and his affection for raising goats. One thing let to another and soon he commissioned ‘ARM Goat Farms’ with a partner he thought were like minded at the time. Hailing from a business background running many successful enterprises, Mr. Md Shaikh handed the reigns of day-to-day business aspects to his ex-partner including handling all financial dealing with clients and assumed a lighter more relaxed role in the background. He extended equity support for all ARM Goat farm needs including payment for upkeep of the farm, fodder of livestock and salaries of staff in time.
- After months of uninterrupted pumping heavy equity in the farm Mr. Md Shaikh evaluated huge losses stared at him. Bewildered, he approached his ex-partner on several occasions only to meet stiff and hostile resistance and no replies to his genuine questions as a major partner. This is when Mr. Md Shaikh sensed treachery and deceit scripted by this ex-partner who took advantage of his absence in day-to- day affairs from the farm and syphoned off all profits from the business to fill personal coffers and showcasing ARM Goat Farm as a net business loss enterprise.
- Due to his existing business commitments Mr. Md shaikh seldom had time to interact with clients at farm and contact other farm owners. However with the grace of almighty he came across genuinely good patrons like Fahad Zariwala of FSA Entrainment who covered the farm and made Youtube videos with some reaching over one million views and Imran Shakih of JD Goat Farms.
- Mr. Md Shaikh parted ways with his ex-partner and is now on a slow but steady pace with re-christened ‘MD Goat Farms’ where he is personally active ensuring his passion for raising goats and a loyal client base is maintained and looked after
The episode of securing heavy financial losses as a result of greed of a person he looked up to as a brother had etched a deep scar however Mr. Md Shaikh’s true grit was at display when he let bygone not affect his assessment of his conviction and commitment towards the farm, clients, staff and most importantly the goats whom he so loved.
Personal Feedback from Mr. Md Shaikh, “We are grateful to FSA Entrainment which is India’s leading Youtube Channel for the goat industry along with Imran Bhai of JD Farms for sharing his experience and honest suggestions towards upkeep of the farm. Special note of thanks to all subscribers of FSA for showering their love on videos of MD goat farms keeping us motivated to venture in more useful content for the benefit of viewers”.
