Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

FW: Enquiry mail - Hemen Parekh [#1484]

Shuklendu / Nitin  (  TOP  PRIORITY  )


Pl see the email exchange below

Earlier , on Friday , I had sent following mail to MakeInIndia web site :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Sir


I could not send this from my iPad hence trying thru my PC.

This is a fine initiative to attract Foreign Companies to come and invest in India

In my own small way I too am trying to do the same

I am enabling Foreign Companies to search and send their INTEREST MESSAGES to Indian Companies using my recently launched web site


which carries a database of 2,27,000 Indian Companies listed as per 52 Industry Sectors and located in 2000 cities

With a SINGLE CLICK they can email their Message to hundreds of suitable Indian Companies

My site could also be used by Indian Trade Commissioners posted abroad

When they receive any inquiry from Companies in the country in which they are posted , they can forward such inquiries to suitable Indian Companies , to respond, using my web site

Inquiries could even be for export or import or outsourcing from India

I urge you to VIEW  DEMO page on


If there are any questions feel free to phone me on 09867550808

with regards ,

hemen parekh

Mumbai

PS :

I would be happy to provide a link to your site on my home page on a reciprocal basis , which will enable your foreign visitors to reach out to Indian Companies , very quickly

For Make In India to succeed , we all must cooperate and collaborate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems MakeInIndia are willing to consider exchange of links

Hopefully , when I phone Mr Shailendra Singh at 10 am , I should come to know

But , should they accept my proposal , it could be a breakthrough !

By now , you must have seen FULL PAGE advt in print media re MakeInIndia

Soon , it will be on TV / Hoardings / Everywhere

Expect :

*  Central Govt to spend a few HUNDREDS OF CRORES of rupees in promoting MakeInIndia

Narendra Modi to mention MakeInIndia at most forums ( He already mentioned it before a gathering of Indian / Foreign Industrialists on 25th / in UN Assembly on 27th / in Madison Garden , last evening ! ) He has become the Chief Marketing Officer for MakeInIndia !

How else can we explain , a Joint Secretary of Central Govt to respond to my email to their web site , within 48 hours ?

I have no doubt that MakeInIndia web site will get visited by hundreds of Foreign Companies , EVERY DAY !

And ,

If they notice our URL link ( right next to link " CONTACT US " , at the top of every page ), we too , may see a lots of visits / registrations

That brings me to one of the shortcomings of our web site ( amongst a few ) , which is :

A Message Sender ( Subscriber ) has no clue as to who ( which FUNCTIONAL executive ) will get his message

Eg :

Message could be for something that the sender wants to " SELL " and it lands up in the mail box of the SALES MANAGER of the recipient company  ! - who has no interest in the offer.

Ideally , the message should reach the mail box of the PURCHASE MANAGER

In the absence of this knowledge , many SENDERS would hesitate in blasting

How can we overcome this problem  ?

There is no easy - and yet foolproof - answer

But here is what I suggest :

>   In the REGISTRATION form , just below the Executive Name , add following field,

     I am interested in :

     *   Buying
     *   Selling
     *   Outsourcing
     *   Alliance / Collaboration
     *   Business Development

After capturing this data , when any SENDER , sees " Select Company " tabulation ( on " Blast Message " page ) , there under the Company Name , let us show as follows :
----------------------------------------

*  Select Company
   ( Interested In )
-------------------------------
( ) select All

( ) ABC Ltd
    { Buying }

(  ) LMJ Pvt Ltd
    { Selling }

(  ) XYZ ltd
     { Outsourcing }

etc
------------------------------------

This display will give to the Message Sender , a clear indication as to WHOM the message is likely to reach

So , if the SENDER wants to SELL something , he will select only those companies , below whose names , BUYING is mentioned !

How do you feel about this ?

If you agree , how fast can we implement this ?

Joint Secretary and CVO

Dear Mr Singh ,


Thank you for your prompt response

I will phone you tomorrow at 10 am

In the meantime , I elaborate below , how we can complement each other in advancing the cause which aims to transform India

During inauguration of   " Make In India "  conference , our Prime Minister , Shri Narendrabhai Modi talked about 2 types of FDI , viz:

*      Foreign Direct Investment
*      First Develop India

He wants  MakeInIndia  web site to become

*       A One-Stop source of information to Foreign Companies about opportunities in India


This sentiment is echoed on MakeInIndia web site , where you write :

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Policies > New Mindset

Most importantly, the Make in India program represents an attitudinal shift in how India relates to investors: not as a permit-issuing authority, but as a true business partner.
·         Dedicated teams that will guide and assist first-time investors, from time of arrival.
·         Focused targeting of companies across sectors
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A first-time Foreign Investor wants to know :

Which are the Indian Companies operating in my business area ?
How can I find them ?
How can I tell them : I am interested in forming a Joint Venture ?

Example :

An American Hospitality / Tourism Company wants to come to India

Where will it find that :

*   There are over 5,302 Indian Companies in this Industry ,
     operating in 173 cities of India

*  Nearly 73.5  % of these companies ( 3,893  ) are located in
    following 10 cities ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
City............................. No of Companies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*   Mumbai..................  881
*   Delhi.....................   851
*   Bangalore..............   478
*   Chennai................    339
*   New Delhi................ 315
*   Gurgaon.................. 283
*   Pune....................... 265
*   Hyderabad............... 186
*   Ahmedabad.............. 154
*   Secunderabad........... 141
----------------------------------------------------------------------

*   The easiest / fastest / best way to send an " I am interested
     Message " to them is to blast it from ,


And in just a matter of hours  !

On MakeInIndia web site , you have listed 24 Industry Sectors that might be of interest to Foreign Investors

On www.B2BmessageBlaster.com , a Foreign Investor, will find

*    2,27,000 + Indian Companies
*    listed according to 52 Industry Sectors ( includes those  24 )
*    located in 2,000 + cities

In my earlier mail , I have suggested that
*  we exchange our URL links on each other's web sites ( on each and every page )

That would enable you to

>   Guide and assist first time first time investors from time of
       arrival

>    Realize the full potential of MakeInIndia.com
