Dear Suneet
I just came across this,
We
have always known which direction we are headed
In
the meantime , in other developments at my end ,
Ø Our
Database of Companies / Employers Recruitment Agencies in RESUME
BLASTER app went up from 1,12,000 to 2,25,543 and the no of Cities ( where these
Companies are located ) went up from 656 to 1251 !
This
means a user of Resume Blaster app can now blast his resume – and absolutely FREE – to
nearly TWICE the no
of companies / cities , covering most of the companies in majority of the towns
in all the States
Ø I
plan to launch by Nov 2013
, following web sites,
·
B2BmessageBlaster
·
B2CmessageBlaster
6 months after these get launched , I expect the no of Companies in
our database to cross 500,000
There will also be a Mobile
App for B2B
After carrying out some
cosmetic improvements , I plan to send out promotional emails to some 25,000
Senior Executives , with whom , 3P Consultants have interacted with over the
past 23 years
I hope by now , you must have discussed and finalized your
strategy with Amit
I await your decision with
regard to my request
With regards

PS:
I look
forward to your favorable response to my following request ( dt 23 May ) ,
considering that during the last 18 months ( since launch of My Jobs ) , all that we
have earned till date is ,
$ 2.82

Dear
Amit
Our
mobile Apps / My Jobs / Resume Blaster
This
has reference to telecom that Nitin ( Sentient Systems ) had with you last week
re this matter
I
also discussed this with Shuklendu / Nitin when I visited their office
yesterday
Based
on this , the following is suggested :
Ø My Jobs
As you are aware , this app was developed by HP Labs – Bangalore , based upon
their proprietary Tasklet Technology
It was partially dependent on their Cloud Server in USA
A few weeks back , we were advised that , HP Labs-India operations are being
wound up and the engineers being re-allocated to HP’s other divisions
Also that they will not be able to support My Jobs for more than a few weeks
In light of this development , we are left with no choice other than
re-developing My Jobs entirely on our own – and without using Tasklet
Technology
We have thought of converting this sad news into an opportunity !
By combining both the apps ( My
Jobs and recently launched Resume Blaster ) into a single app – with some advanced
user-friendly features
We expect this combined app to be ready by Oct / Nov 2013
Ø Integrating
with Airpush SDK
We appreciate your suggestion that we integrate our Apps ( current
app “ Resume Blaster “ as also future combined App ) with Airpush SDK to earn
higher revenue, which will accrue due to Airpush’s CPM model , as opposed to
InMobi’s CTR model
We believe you have such SDK for integration , with the condition that
you will share with us 50% of the revenue that you earn thru our apps
You will earn this revenue from apps-usage by users of Ubislate
tablets
Whereas I have no issue with this arrangement suggested by you , I
wish to bring to your notice the following facts :
·
In last 30 months , Datawind has shipped out 500,000 + Ubislate
tablets , duly pre-loaded with My Jobs to the retail ( non-government ) market
·
Despite this , there is neither any awareness / nor any real usage
of My Jobs by Datawind Customers
In this 30 months ,
all that RecruitGuru has earned in its InMobi Account is less than $ 2 / -
·
We also managed to convince Swipe Telecom and Teracom to pre-load
My Jobs on all their products. Even this has not helped
·
We have sent out some 30 lakh promo emails to our database of 47
lakh jobseekers – to no avail
·
Now that My Jobs , in its current AVATAR will soon die , we have
stopped promoting it and instead started promoting Resume Blaster
Personally for me , last 2 years have been the most frustrating
years of my entire career , spanning 54 years !
May be we erred somewhere , but I am determined not to give up
And considering all these facts , I have agreed to share with Sentient
Systems , 25 % of whatever I earn in future from all the apps
That
means , from the 50 % that Datawind will pass on to me , 12.5 % will go to
Shuklendu , leaving only 37.5% for RecruitGuru
Then there could be similar revenue-sharing demands from other
tablet / smart phone manufacturers !
Then the whole effort
becomes unviable !
In light of the foregoing , I would request you to reconsider the
aspect of revenue share from Resume Blaster ( immediately ) and from the
Combined App by Oct
Entirely foregoing your 50% share will not even make a tiny dent
in Datawind”s overall revenue , whereas , for me and Shuklendu , it will
determine whether we continue with such development or not !
Awaiting your early – and favorable reply ,
With regards
Hemen Parekh
