Jie Wu a Portuguese – Chinese comes to Kolkata to the I.C.A. in the hope of starting the cultural activity “Dragon Boat Festival” Abhrajit was called to be a part of this core group.

This is where Abhrajit realized that this is a part of the culture of the Chinese community in Kolkata which is lost and if that is back then maybe India can develop a communication of friendly relationship towards China. Also, it would rebuild the cultural gap between the two countries and it will be easier for Indians to understand the Chinese culture when they travel.

Abhrajit & Agnes leaves their current company as they found out that the organization is built by Abhrajit’s American partner just to gain fame and not to help the community in reality.

Abhrajit equipped with around 6000 pan Indian contacts from his previous jobs and over 400 International contacts and along with Agnes conceptualize Hunaying. The name of the organization was given by Agnes suddenly while both of them was sitting in their first client’s office without even having their own business cards.

Abhrajit stood in the rain for over 4 days but finally after that received an audience with the Army head of the education and got a chance for the audition for teaching but lost as they were late and Delhi had confirmed the classes to another organization. This day made us at Huanying realize 2 things: No matter we are have best teachers and best rates but not having the right time will be difficult for this business and that we both have to sacrifice and take on any post to get the company going; so, Agnes became a teacher and a tele caller from being a partner and Abhrajit became Sales, Marketing and Demo instructor for the company.

We get our first school contact from the Birla School & at the same time from South City School both to start in April.

Our first profit came from a small contract from St. Thomas school for foreign exchange. The contract was initially for 1 month but extended for over 3 months with also organizing cultural aspects for Consulate of China.

1^st April Huanying registered itself without taking any investment from its partners but from the profits it made with the small interpretation and translations. The company was registered on 1^st April as a joke when both the partners agreed if it never worked, they would just say it was an elaborate and one of the best jokes of their life they played on each other on April Fool’s Day. They also decided to keep a share of their profits for the company so it can grow with them as an equal partner.
