- Not comfortable with Ocean Drinks case — low gross margins, high burn, stagnant growth in past years, thin networth

- Mahakaushal not okay with industry
- Not comfortable funding NTL
- Will not go ahead with the case due to the geopolitical situation

- Revolving line not possible — almost 10 business loan inquiries since July with only 3 loans disbursed
