Dear Ms.Kalpana,
This kind of situation is quite common for every individual who joins a start up company. As such co's run on single man ownership, it is quite common that they focus on every individual and wil face a great fear of loosing the individuals. Since you handle most of the key activities in the present office the boss would surely find difficult to loose you.
It is the same case with me too.... when i got an offer and the new co. wanted to join me with in 15 days..... I conveyed the same message to my boss...he refused to releive me and insisted on 1month notice inspite of me agreeing to pay the compensation........ but after 20 days he thought and was ready to relieve me with all the letters i want and also with a gift...............
On the other hand i conveyed my new co. about the situation and they agreed to wait for 10 more days....
So i suggest that you tel your new company clearly what is happening.... if they really need you, then surely they will wait for you....... be honest...and believe me a talented person will be hired by any best company....do not worry and dont choose wrong path.........Remember that you had a better opportunity than the present one, if you miss it......
On the other hand submit your resignation to your boss and at the most you may need to pay your one month salary, and listen to his blessings :)) just kidding.... so go ahead... do not delay and proceed........
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
GOOD LUCK
