The British Chewing Gum Company sets up shop in Bombay with the mission of introducing chewing gum in the colonies. They declare paan, which is in all mouths at all times, as their enemy. A cow is chosen as the mascot. It is up on all the posters. Religious sentiments are hurt. What begins as a search for a cow ends up in a catastrophe. With laugh-out-loud moments, ingenious use of language and a spellbinding interplay of fantasy and myth, 'Cow and Company' uses satire to take stock of the state of the Indian nation, religion and capital, both then and now.
