https://youtu.be/3enHvs7VaN8>Bert Mueller, an American, moved to Bengaluru, India, in 2011 and built a $23 million Mexican-inspired food business called California Burrito>Mueller started California Burrito when there was little competition in the Mexican food market in India, growing from one store to 103 stores in 12 years, with annual revenue of $23 million>He also mentions personal health challenges, such as contracting dengue and typhoid>He even tried growing avocados, though an elephant incident destroyed some trees>Mueller enjoys living in India, finding it a stretching and wonderful place. He describes his comfortable apartment and shares his frugal spending habits, noting he spends $150-$200 on groceries and up to $400 on dining out monthlyWould you risk culture shock, elephant attacks and typhoid for millions of dollars?Also, is India in the process of being mass-gentrified? Bert may be the first, but he is likely not going to be the last person to do this(I wonder what daily life for him is like)
Probably looking for an exit, but not finding any. $23 million with 103 stores is piss poor.
>>527993443He has two partners, one of them Indian, the other an American actor. Apparently Bert stuck $250,000 into the business in 2012. Other two are not mentioned, but Bert seems to be the figurehead so I assume the other 2 put up more than $250k. Time to get their money out and move on.
Damn
>>527992754>doesn't mention that he got a $200,000 loan from a friend
>>527992754American is the pinical of making it any Joe blow can go to a shithole with zero standards and take advantage of all the retards Try doing that with the standards regulations and strick guidelines >im a millionaire in an absolute outhouse shit hole why does life suck? Hmmm
>>527993329Same chain in America you would want $3m usd in revenue per store, so he’s doing 1/15th of what you’d need in America. Even adjusting for India being cheaper that’s still really shit.t. Raised money for a Mexican chain to expand
My friend made bank opening up Mexican food places in vietnam and thailand.
Why gringoys love beaner food so much?
>>527996040Yeah brainlets constantly confuse revenue with profit. If the chain was actually generating strong profits this guy and his partners would almost certainly look to sell the business and cash out. They probably would have already done so.
>>527993329Not exactly. You have to consider that all these stores are in India where each burrito probably sells for 5 cents.
like every video on YouTube you’ll never get a mention of >oh tiny little detail here >guy does have millionaire parents backing him up at every step
>>527996422You can't go wrong with meat, beans and cheese
>>527992754successful business because he's the only one who hasn't caused food poisoning yet.
his life still seems pathetic thono kidsno wifeprobably a faggotlives in his grandmother's house basicallyentrepreneur or wagie is the same, fuck working
>>527993474>fine Mexican foodI doubt that
>>527992754Dude is a multimillionaire and lives in an apartment. All of his customers are Indians and the air itself is a bio hazard. What is the point of his wealth if he chooses to live in a toxic urban sprawl filled with envious, hate-filled scammers? It would be better to go innawoods rather than live in a low trust society.
>>528000623>All of his customers are IndiansIt’s worse than that. It’s a franchise model. Everyday he has to put up with entitled Indian franchisees.
>>527992754>none of the people working in the kitchen are indianCurious
Raj 2.0
>>527992754$23 millionYeah but you live in Indian surrund by Jeets 24/7.That sound like hell.Not even for 230 million.
>>527992754I'd rather be a failure in America than a success in India.
>>528003463$23 million REVENUEThis guy probably doesn't pull 6 figures a year
>>528004793He's pulling subminimum wage
>>527992754Lmao imagine voluntarily living in a filthy shithole...then even if you're rich you go to a brothel and it's all smelly pajeetas no thanks lol
>>528000623The richfags are heavily insulated from the masses. I've known enough wealthy Indians that happily returned home after getting a western degree because their quality of life back home beat out that of the average Bong, let alone the average jeet. The class/caste system in India is dystopian fiction tier
>>527992754> In Indiatl;dr
>>527992754I was actually just considering applying for a position in india. why not? I already live in a colony of india anyway and I cant get a job here because of dei.
>>527992754>frugal spending habits>$400 a month on dining out>in fucking indiaHow?
>>527993329Well it is India. Bongs spent nearly 300 years there, many of them living and dying. The climate is tropical, but few have the taste for jeet culture.
>>527996040>>527993329Im pretty sure they misherd profit for revenue because if you see it as profit the numbers add up better.
>>527996422because as one philosopher noted "whyt pepol don't season dey food"
Woah, this thread is still upTotally forgot about it
>>528005335What position? I would highly advise against this>t had to stay in India and Bangladesh for a while when I was younger Seriously, don’t do this
>>528005841apparently the north of the country is much worse than the south
>>528006455India sucks overallThat’s like comparing which part of the native reservation is better
>>528006729gainful employment is about leverage. I'm looking for opportunities and there are none here without becoming a complete faggot. meanwhile, foreigners seem to do pretty well there on average.
>>527993507>Let India be IndiaBy serving them Mexican food?
>>528007197You should just seek employment in America bro, lots of Canadians do that Don’t go to India lol
>>527996322I saw a Mexican restaurant doing gangbusters in China, but Chinese didn't even order food they just drank coffee there like it was Starbucks.
>>527996732>You can't go wrong with meatHindus are vegetarian
>>528007280do you know what leverage is? usa and canada are basically the same. the fact that it's not safe for women in india is a huge plus for salary work because there's immediately half the international competition.again, I'm saying just to make money, not to live there.
>>528007866>not safe for women in india is a huge plus for salary workBased, go full Epsteins while building your empire. And rest easy no humans will be harmed in your climb to the top.
>>527992754>The indian burrito in question:
>>528007866Do you know what Indians do? To each other? It’s ruthless, they would do worse to you as a foreigner imo. They require bribes for literally everything there, and a person could harm you or a loved one and if they’re richer they’ll get away with it. You will contract food poisoning while you stay there, it’s certain. I absolutely hated my experience there and would not wish that on anybody, ever
>>528007627A lot of them aren’t, actuallyThey’ll eat chicken or lamb or goat. Like most people, they find loopholes in their rules. But they do it a lot more than most other folks at times I did meet some uber holy brahmin types that forsake material wealth and never ate meat ever, or had any intention of leaving India (they have a mythical lore in their religion that says leaving India makes you casteless - worse than a dalit or shudra)Those types are really rare
this guy should fucking kill himself.>i made a SLOP empire by identifying a GENERIC GLOBAL CUISINE that one billion JEETS haven't LIQUID-SHAT yet>i'm kind of an entrepreneurial genius over here heh
>>527992754fyi, Bengaluru is one of several places (Hyderabad is another) where many AMERICAN tech companies are building huge tech campuses.That's right. American money leaving America. MAGA? Nope.
>>528008150well that's probably true and you're probably right honestlyI'm just thinking outside the box here. that's how opportunities present themselves.but I think anarchy would still be better than anarcho-tyranny.
>>527992754God fucking damnit. The one white guy who knows how to make Mexican food and he deports himself.
>>528008545If you want to try a foreign country that’s cheaper to live in, maybe go for Malaysia, I’d say Singapore, but I’ve met at least 2 couples irl that tried making a new life there, and it didn’t work out. Both wanted to start tech businesses. Got muscled out by local Chinese Im distantly related to a guy who was an accountant and lived in Thailand for like 20 years, he had a big ass mansion and it had maids and stuff. His kids grew there and despite being totally unasian in appearance, they had a good time, went to good private schools, etc. it’s hot as fuck there though, lots of mosquitos and traffic in all of those SEA countries. Can’t be as bad as India however, those little faggots kept drawing blood from me nonstop
>>527996322Taco Tim?I love that shit
>>528008302Interesting info, thank you.
>>527992754>103 stores in 12 yearsI have never heard of 'California Burrito' before this thread.American slop versions of mexican food doesn't sell well here. Better options with similar ingredients already exist and taste better.Authentic mexican is a different story.>>527993329>looking for an exitThis.
>>528008150>absolutely hated my experience thereWhere did you live?
that's weird because for most of india, success is defined as escaping india
>>528005407clean food
>>528004793he wouldn't be living in an apt living like a faggot if he was making real money.
