FW: MAKE A DIFFERENCE [#10092]

Dear  MakeInIndia / InvestIndia  Teams :

Mr Onno Ruhl ( World Bank Country Director for India ) says :

"  It could take India about three years to improve its ranking on World Bank's Ease of Doing Business list..... If doing business becomes easier , it would naturally boost the Make In India initiative that seeks to promote India as an investment hub "

(  see attachment )

I believe this process can be expedited if we can get Foreign Investors to start using , just uploaded page on B2B web site , viz:

"  Expedite   My   Project  "

How can we get Foreign Investors to use this medium / this vehicle , to get their messages across to Team India  ?

This can be done if visitors to Make In India and Invest India web sites are made aware of B2B , by uploading page ,

"  Find  Indian  Partners  "

This ONE HOUR exercise need not wait revamping of these web sites

Awaiting to hear from you soon ,

with regards,

Dear  MakeinIndia Team :

Just came across following News Report

At one place , Shri Atul Chaturvedi says :

"They all have common interest, which is to attract investments and compete with each other to get new businesses," he said. 

B2B is designed to bring this about thru its feature "  Email  Alerts "

Govt's Ease of Doing Biz rankings to be ready by Sept

(   Source :  Times of India / 19  May  2015  )

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

CHENNAI:

The Union government will come out with its state-wise rankings on ease of doing business to facilitate investors in choosing the right location to set up business.

The first set of rankings is expected by September, senior government officials said. 

The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) has identified 98 different parameters as components for computing the ease of doing business index.

These 98 components have been communicated to state governments who have been asked to furnish details on them by end May or early June, said Atul Chaturvedi, joint secretary of DIPP.

The DIPP is attached to the commerce ministry. The parameters include statutory clearances like trade licenses, along with land availability and water supply linkages, among others. 

"We will indentify a consultant by June who will compile all the data from states and come out with rankings," he said.

"The consultant will be a serious player and not a fly-by-night person and the rankings will have credibility. The first set of rankings should be out by September hopefully."

All states, regardless of political affiliations, have welcomed the government's move to come out with rankings and have extended their cooperation, he said.

"They all have common interest, which is to attract investments and compete with each other to get new businesses," he said. 

The government, he said, was also planning to appoint a nodal officer in each ministry for investor facilitation.

"We are also seeking support from the state government to set up nodal officers at local levels," he said. The idea of appointing nodal officers is to root out corruption. 

At present, investors engage consultants to prospect ideal locations as there is no central index which captures the competitiveness of each state to attract investments.

Dear Friends ,

How to make " Make in India " happen

Prof Amitava Chattopadhyay writes in this article ( in today's Economic Times ) :

>  A second issue is that , to Make in India , state governments need to collaborate with the Central Government

    This is easier said than done .

Learned Professor could have added :

> The easiest - and surest - way to make the States to collaborate with the Centre , is to motivate them to compete with

  

   one another for attracting foreign investments to their respective States

 

I believe , the perfect instruments ( for inducing such healthy competition ) are B2B pages ,

>    E Mail Alerts

>    Expedite My Project ( expected to be uploaded on 23rd May )

>    DIPP Admin Page ( to which access may be granted to the Industry Ministers of all the States )

I urge you once again to upload page " FIND  INDIAN  PARTNERS  " on MakeinIdia / InvestIndia , web sites

with regards ,

PS :

As mentioned earlier , this ( uploading ) is a ONE HOUR job - and , it is a  reversible decision  , if ever desired

Dear Friends ,

On  23rd May 2015 ,  B2B web site will celebrate its  FIRST  ANNIVERSARY

On that day , we plan to launch a new page / feature called ,  "  Expedite  My  Project " , as per attachment

It will use the same functionality / database used on current page ,  "  Influence   Policy   Makers  "

In months and years to come , I hope this feature will contribute towards raising India's rank in ,

"  Ease  of   Doing   Business  "

I would be happy to incorporate your suggestions , if any

Dear  Friends ,

There are two attachments to this mail , viz;

>   NITI Aayog to map investor interest ( write-up appearing in today's Hindustan Times )

>  ADMIN page for MakeInIndia web site ( Design of the ADMIN page for DIPP on B2B web site / attached to my email dt 04 Nov 2014 )

I realize that not every Foreign Company will send out its " Interested in a Joint Venture " message thru B2B web site ,

but , in respect of those that do , B2B ADMIN page will capture full details

And these fine-tuned , automatically compiled , dynamic ,  INTEREST - ANALYTICS will enable DIPP to provide to NITI Aayog those precise INPUTS in respect of " Investor Interest " that Hon Prime Minister seeks  !

I leave it to you to guess , as to what extent , " FIND  INDIAN  PARTNER " page ( on InvestIndia web site - and possibly on " MakeInIndia " web site as well ) , will answer NITI Aayog's " exercise aimed to :

>     quick resolution of problems faced by investors

>            projecting investment estimates

>            creating a synergy between different stakeholders

On the other hand , you may ask :

"  Why guess  ?  Why not upload that page ( FIND  INDIAN  PARTNERS  ) and find out for sure  ?

   After all , uploading will take no more than ONE HOUR and removing it at any time in future , will take

   FIVE MINUTES  !  "

Dear  MakeInIndia Team ,

If you can find time to respond at 11;09 PM , then there can be no doubt that India has a bright future  !

Many thanks

I presume , you propose exchange of links between  B2B and InvestIndia web sites

If so , this will prove to be a good beginning of an ever-deepening relationship between our sites to secure greater investments into India

Before lunch today , I hope to put-up on all pages of B2B , links to InvestIndia ( next to the existing link to MakeInIndia web site )

But,

Whereas , a link to InvestIndia from B2B , does not require a visitor to guess/wonder what that link is all about and what can he expect to find if he were to click on that link ,

It is altogether a different matter when a visitor of InvestIndia , sees a link called " B2BmessageBlaster "

He would wonder :

" What is this link all about ? "

Should he click and get transferred to the Home Page of B2B , he will understand that he can send out messages to 2.29 lakh Indian Companies, from B2B

But B2B home page does NOT emphatically bring out that the visiting Foreign Executive can use B2B , to send out " We are interested in forming a Joint Venture with You " type of messages to thousands of potential Indian partners

On one of your pages , you describe as follows , one of the IMPORTANT purposes of your web site :

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

JOINT  VENTURE  OPPORTUNITIES   FOR   INDIAN   COMPANIES

Invest India, as a part of its investment facilitation service to foreign investors, also assists them in finding partners based in India on the basis of requests received.

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

This purpose is forcefully highlighted in the page write-up , " Find  Indian  Partners " sent to you yesterday, which reads :

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

WHY  VISIT   B2B   WEB SITE  ?

Dear Foreign Investor  :

*  Having studied details about investment opportunities in 25 Industry

    Sectors listed on this site , you may want to search / contact suitable

    Indian Companies , for :

    >   Joint Manufacturing Ventures  /  Licensing of Technology

   

   

*  You can search / shortlist and send out your  messages , to such Indian Companies , using online messaging service of :

                   www.B2BmessageBlaster.com  (  B2B  )

*  If

     >  your message to those potential Indian Partners, is :

"  Inviting INDIAN COMPANIES for Technical Collaboration / Joint Venture "

then ,

>   apart from forwarding your message to the Indian Companies selected by

      you , B2B will also send out " Email Alerts "  to ,

  *    Officers of DIPP ( Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion )

  *    Concerned officers of the relevant State Governments ( Chief Minister /

       Industry Minister / Industry Secretary..etc )

 *   Upon receipt of these " Email Alerts " , these officers will get in touch

     with you , to facilitate speedy setting up of your project

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

Such an EXPLICIT page ( and not a mere hyperlink ) , will not only motivate a Foreign Visitor of InvestIndia to visit B2B , but make him realize that sending out such " Interest Messages " from B2B , will set in motion , a CHAIN  REACTION among the Indian Facilitators ( both Central and State ) , ensuring speedy implementation of his project

How all of this will happen is explained on following B2B pages :

>     Ease  of   Doing   Business

>     Winds   of   Change

>     Email   Alerts

I urge you to consider my request for a PAGE ( Find  Indian  Partners  ) - and not a mere hyperlink - on InvestIndia web site

Such a " Synergy of Purpose " will yield unprecedented dialogue between ,

>   Foreign  Investors

>   Potential Indian  Partner Companies

>   DIPP / State Government Officers

>   FICCI

And unleash a fierce - but healthy - competition among the States

If there are any questions , do not hesitate to phone me ( 0 - 98,67,55,08,08 )
