Ashwarya,
Thank you for calling . I await the email that Mr Chitnis
has sent to you
I will respond with a copy to you
I have my doubts whether this ( development cost ) , can be
charged to CSR
May be , you could charge it to CORPORATE OVERHEADS
In the meantime , I am booking the URL ,
EmpowerMSME.com ( BenchMark , was unavailable )
With
Regards,

Dear Abhay,
Thanks
for agreeing to meet me today at 11 am
I
suppose persons responsible for developing this portal , will also be present
for the discussion
The
concept of the proposed portal is explained below
Idea
is to develop it in totality and hand it over to ASSOCHAM / FICCI / CII , to
operate / maintain / promote it
As
far as the technologies to be employed , I am not competent to advise . You are
the best judge on that but the attachment describes some technologies that I
have planned to use for another similar project
==================================================

Dear Abhay / Kavi,
Thanks for sparing your valuable time yesterday
As suggested , I will try to prepare VISION document by next
Wednesday
==================================================

Wed 12-04-2017 10:55
Abhay / Kavindra :
I
hope you could find time to go through the CONCEPT
NOTE folder which I sent to you Monday evening . Feel free to phone /
write re clarifications
Attached
find the LIST OF DOCUMENT NAMES
(clicking on link called , “ More Examples “
on page “ DOWNLOAD KNOW-HOW DOCUMENTS BY NAMES / TITLES “ , will open this LIST
)
==================================================( 5 )
Wed 12-04-2017 16:34
Dear Kavindra :
Many thanks for your prompt response and –
more importantly – for your CRITIQUE
I have no doubt in my mind that persons
like you with such “ insights “ , will , also find the right answers to the
issues raised !
I am willing to contribute by exchanging
ideas across the table, whenever convenient . That would be more productive
than an exchange of emails
However , in a hurry , as far as providing
“ motivation “ to the Contributors is concerned, I am willing to consider
merging ( without any expectation ) of,
www.B2BmessageBlaster.com
,
with Empower.com
Let me know when we can meet – and where
==================================================( 6 )
Wed 12-04-2017 16:52
Kavindra,
I
picked this up from Shri Narendra Modi’s web site
Take
a look at the highlighted portion
-------------
The two key challenges faced by tech startups
are lack of access to technology mentorship and scale know-how.
We are beginning to see tech multinationals in India launch
initiatives to work with startups, providing
them with access to funds, technology and mentorship.
However, given the urgency we face, the efforts need to be
significantly dialed up and focused on finding solutions for India.
This is where a formal initiative by the
Government to encourage large companies scale startup outreach and mentorship
can help a lot in accelerating the momentum.
Another area where startups needs support is
scale knowhow
===========================================

Kavindra,
In your mail yesterday, you wrote :
“ Contributors/Big-companies have to remove confidential
information or legal terms from their forms etc., before uploading. All this is
Time, Efforts which needs stronger motivation “
This situation may arise in respect of some of the documents / forms ( both, online and offline ) etc.
But I have a feeling that in a majority of
the cases , these forms / documents , contain no info which needs hiding
The extent of this perceived problem can be quickly established
by compiling various forms / documents , currently being used by various
factories / offices of L&T
Ashwarya may consider sending out an email to the Managers of
L&T’s various units , explaining to them the “ noble “ purpose of this
project and requesting them to email to him , by 20th
April , a set of such Forms / Documents
Of course , that email should make it amply clear that they
should send only those Forms / Documents which do not give out any CONFIDENTIAL
/ SECRET info / Intellectual Property
==============================

Thu 27-04-2017 16:31
Dear Kavindra,
I refer to our recent telecons
I request you to find some time
soon so that we may finalize the project-plan ( although , now it does not seem
possible to beta launch by 9 June )
Today’s Business Line reports :
“ Draft policy proposes National
MSME Authority headed by PM “
Only yesterday , Business Line
reported :
“ DIPP to launch Start Up portal
“
I believe this initiative on the
part of L&T , seems to be just at a
very opportune moment , considering the above mentioned announcements
Launch of EmpowerMSME.com , under the auspices of
ASSOCHAM , would be highly appreciated by NDA govt
==================================================

Wed 03-05-2017 09:07
Dear Abhay / Kavindra :
I await your call for an early
meeting to finalize the “ Project Plan “ for this portal
==================================================

Mon 08-05-2017 13:43
Manoj ,
Given my age / health , I need
to rest in the afternoon
I appreciate if we can meet in
the morning ( 10 am ? ) on Wednesday , in Kavindra’s office
Pl confirm
==================================================

Thu 11-05-2017 08:21
Dear
Manoj,
Even
as I look forward to our meeting this morning, following interview of Shri
Kalraj Mishra ( Cabinet Minister for MSME ) , assumes special significance to
our proposed portal ( EmpowerMSME.com )
I
strongly believe that it will be highly appreciated by the NDA government
=======================

Wed 24-05-2017 18:27
Dear Kavindra :
During my last visit to your office , we discussed the
possibility of L&T Infotech , outsourcing the development of
EmpowerMSME.com
Accordingly , I had sent my handwritten folder to Kartvya ( www.atidan.com ) for an estimate
Following is his reply
You may consider calling him for a discussion to understand the
scope of work
==================================================

Mon 05-06-2017 11:34
Kavindra / Manoj :
Here is one more reason to EmpowerMSME !
==================================================
( 14 )
Tue 06-06-2017 09:49
Manoj ,
Any progress on this ?
When I meet AMN on 9th , he may inquire
==================================================
( 15 )
Wed 07-06-2017 08:16
Manoj / Kavindra,
In my following mail , I had
offered to give you ( without any monetary consideration ) , the source code
and database of :
www.B2BmessageBlaster.com
The idea is to provide that “
missing motivation “ to the big companies for contributing
Can we discuss this when we talk
at 10 am ?
==================================================
( 16 )
Tue 13-06-2017 10:02
Kavindra / Manoj / Ganesh /
Anurag / Kshitij,
Thanks for sparing your time yesterday to discuss a broad
outline of this portal
I now look forward to hear from Anurag / Kshitij , by end of
this week
As far as names of “ Industries “ and “ Functions “ is
concerned , you may want to look up those drop-lists on,
www.CustomizeResume.com
You will find these by logging in as a “ jobseeker “ , using
:
User ID = Rahul
Password = customizedemo
As far as those 2.7 lakh companies ( sorted according to the
“ Industry names “ and City locations , is concerned , I can either send you
that database thru email or grant to access to our web sever
Let me know
==================================================
( 17 )
Thu 15-06-2017 11:17
Kavindra
/ Ganesh / Manoj :
Following
news report appearing in Business Line ( 14 June ) , has some relevance to what
we are attempting to do through EmpowerMSME.com
===========================

Wed 21-06-2017 17:18
Dear Team ,
I hope Anurag / Kshitij have made good progress
==================================================

Dear
Team,
The
following news report appeared in today’s DNA
From
this initiative , it is clear that the government attaches very high importance
to “ empowering “ MSME sector
I
have no doubt that your team can / will come up with a portal which truly
becomes a “ Library Resource “ for the
students of the proposed University
We
should have no doubt that the MSME Ministry and the HRD Ministry , would
welcome – and support – www.EmpowerMSME.com
Let
us remember that the Students of the proposed University would be regular /
frequent visitors of our portal ( in order to download documents / drawings / reports etc for their TERM WORK / PROJECTS )
May be
we could allow them to :
Submit their resumes on this
portal
Forward the same to selected MSME of their choice
This
( feature ) would make EmpowerMSME , quite like a typical “ Job Portal “ – and we may consider adding this
feature at some later date , if such a “ Suggestion
“ comes from the MSME Ministry
It
would help to put this project in the 4th gear !
==================================================
( 20 )
Mon 26-06-2017 09:19
Dear Ganesh,
Thanks for your message and your phone call mentioning that you
have constituted a new team to work on
this project
I agree that , to begin with , we focus on the CORE offering of
this portal . Rest can be added ( if required ) later
It would help if you can prepare a PROJECT
PLAN , which indicates ( even approximately ), when each activity /
stage of the development , will get completed
To work out this , following tabulation will help :
==================================================
( 21 )
7-2017 10:22
Dear Ganesh ;
On 28 June , in Business Line , there were 3 news reports re
MSME , as follows “
·
AP to set up MSME Corpn
·
MSME Ministry inks pact with SAP India , HMT
·
Google to partner SMBs for digital tech training
You may want to look these up
How soon will your team come up with a PROJECT PLAN ?
==================================================
( 22 )
Fri 21-07-2017 15:38
Ganesh,
This looks great !
I am sorry I missed your calls
Whenever your team is ready , I
will be happy to come over to your office
==================================================
( 23 )
Tue 08-08-2017 08:59
Ganesh ,
I await your convenience
In the meantime , here is one
example of the type of DOCUMENTS that a company can upload on EmpowerMSME

Rakesh,
In
the context of our own efforts in developing EmpowerMSME ,
following news report which appeared in today’s Hindustan Times , should guide
us
==================================================
( 25 )
Sat 19-08-2017 11:30
Rakesh,
In yesterday’s Eco Times , there was a half page advt by ASSOCHAM , with a title :
ASSOCHAM@Job Creation
The advt carries a photo and a message from Sandeep Jajodia ( President , ASSOCHAM )
Advt carries a column on “ Recommendations
“ , with a sub-title :
“ Harnessing Corporate Sector “ ,
where the very first recommendation reads :
“ Mentoring of self-employed
persons should be included in permitted CSR activities to build
capacity of such persons “
==================================================
( 26 )
Fri 25-08-2017 09:59
Rakesh :
Take a look at the attached
In that list ( from FAQ page of MSME.gov.in
web site ) , I have highlighted in RED , a few items where
Contributor companies can empower MSMEs , by sharing of documents
I think , in order to plant that idea in the minds of the
Contributors , somewhere on our portal , we should provide this list
===========================
( 27 )
Fri 01-09-2017 13:53
Thanks
for showing me the progress on EmpowerMSME
I
wish to compliment your entire team on a superb execution !
I
would highly appreciate if the site can get hosted on some server by Monday ,
so that I can send a link to Amitabh Kant for a preview
As
far as “ Powered B2BmessageBlaster “ is concerned , I suggest you copy the
exact image shown on my site ( wordings inside the flattened globe )

Dear Team,
Thanks a lot for completing the hosting of EmpowerMSME on our
Server
Sandeep tells me that you are doing some final checking before
starting those TWITTER FEEDS
In the meantime , Sandeep is chasing the BIG ROCK ( with whom ,
we have booked domain name ) for going live
Since our office is closed for rest of the week , I plan to
carry out my own testing of the site , by working from home
I plan to register 3P CONSULTANTS as a CONTRIBUTOR and upload a
few documents , over the next few days
I will also get my son Vishesh’s company – INCOME ( and 2 / 3
other small companies ) , as an MSME and download those documents
I would appreciate if you can email to me , USER ID and PASSWORD
, as ADMIN , so that I can “ approve “ those documents getting uploaded
If there are no hitches , early next week , I will request PRK
to start uploading different types of L&T DOCUMENTS , for 10 / 12
days ( target 500 )
If that too goes well , we will start our dialogue with
CII – ASSOCHAM etc
Thanking all of you once again for an excellent product
==================================================

Mon 16-10-2017 16:51
QUICK
FEEDBACK :
·
We
had decided to place at the TOP on each page , ( just before link “ Know
How “ ) , a link called “ TYPICAL DOCUMENTS “ , clicking on which
would display those 400 document names
·
http://125.99.96.171/msme/registerempower/.............
Here , in the CONTRIBUTOR panel , the link DOCUMENTS , is not working
·
We
also wanted ( on each page ) , a counter which reads “ No of Visitors at
this moment…………… “
==================================================
( 36 )
Tue 24-10-2017 11:37
Dear Varun,
This is further to our discussion last evening
Attached find :
·
List of “ Document Names
“ ( a page which pops up upon clicking link “ TYPICAL DOCUMENTS “ )
. Pl remove the explanatory write-up while constructing the pop up page )
·
List of “ Industry Names
“ for the drop list for INDUSTRY in the REGISTRATION forms ( for both , the
Contributors and the MSME ).
Column on left describes the
OVERALL GENERIC description of a given INDUSTRY , which covers the sub-sets
shown in the right side column
If all the “ sub sets “ are shown ( one below the other )
, then the drop list will become VERY LONG
Is it possible to show the OVERALL GENERIC descriptions in the
drop list and reveal the Sub Sets when visitor hovers ( or clicks ? ) mouse
over a BROAD description ?
As far as the “ List of FUNCTIONS “ is concerned , I am working
on it and hope to send to you by evening
==================================================
( 37 )
Tue 24-10-2017 17:26
Varun,
Find attached FUNCTION list ( a
Contributor , while uploading any Document , has to select one of these
FUNCTIONS , to which that particular Document belongs )
Incidentally , I am unable to directly go to the DOCUMENT UPLOAD
page !
Any casual visitor should be able to find / click a link , which
takes him directly to that page ( even if he is not registered as a Contributor
) . Same logic should apply to the DOCUMENT DOWNLOAD page
Of course , unless registered and logged in , a visitor cannot
use this page
==================================================
( 38 )
Wed 25-10-2017 14:56
Varun,
Ref : Our talk a little while back
From my office , I will call you tomorrow at 10 am for guiding us
on how to start UP-LOADING documents as a Contributor
For that to happen , in the upload form , we will need drop lists
to click / select :
: Industry ( ? )
: Function
: Expression / Manifestation
I hope this will get incorporated by today evening
Can we also have On line list of TYPICAL DOCUMENTS ?
===========================================
( 39 )
Tue 31-10-2017 11:09
Varun,
http://empowermsme.com/contributor/documents/upload
On this page , you have provided following fields :
# Challenge Functional Area
# Challenge Expression
Without telling the Contributor , what and why are these ,
they remain a puzzle !
In my original handwritten notes ( 10 April ) , I had envisaged
a SEPARATE PAGE , called “ CONTRIBUTOR CHALLENGE “
However , during some subsequent discussion , we must have
decided to make these , a part of “ Document Upload “ page itself – a good
decision
But this “ merger “ requires that we provide a CLEAR EXPLANATION for the existence of these
fields
I suggest that after the
field “ Relevant Keywords “ , you add following write
up ( just above those two fields ) :
We have good reason to believe that somewhere in your
Organization , you have designed / developed / using , a document which falls
outside of the “ FUNCTIONAL AREAS “ , and / or “ EXPRESSION “, that you find
above
If so , here is your chance to “ Add To “ and expand the
above-shown drop-lists , by entering YOUR UNIQUE contribution
If found suitable , your NEW NOMENCLATURES will get added
to our MASTERS
==============================

Fri 03-11-2017 06:03
Dear PRK
Varun ( LTI team ) phoned last evening that he has completed the
preliminary testing of the following
main functionalities of EmpowerMSME portal :
·
“ Registration “ ( by both , Contributor and by MSME )
·
·
“ Upload Document “ ( by Contributor )
·
·
“ Download Document “ ( by MSME )
Apparently , all of these are working satisfactorily
No doubt , some cosmetic improvements remain , which I hope
might get done today
For “ Scale Up Testing “ , LTI team now await your uploading of
a few hundred ( varied ) L&T documents
For any clarification required , feel free to phone
=============================

Dear AMN,
Thanks for inviting me to
attend the launch of your biography , “ Nationalist
“
I will happily come
And here is a suggestion :
The book is all about your life-long dedication to the Indian Industry in general and to the
cause of “ Serving the Nation “ in particular
It would be in the “ fitness of things “ that one more example of your commitment to this
purpose gets highlighted at this “ once-in-a-lifetime “ event
By inserting in each copy of
the book , a beautifully crafted / printed , BOOK-MARK
, carrying following message :
==================================================
www.EmpowerMSME.com
A “ Corporate Social Responsibility “
initiative of L&T to Empower India
===============================================
( 42 )
Mon 20-11-2017 10:13
Dear
AMN,
It
was a pleasure to attend the launch of : The
Nationalist :
Among
the many well-deserved tributes , I was especially impressed with :
Mukesh
Ambani calling you , the “ first Make In India
person “
Devendra
Fadnavis , in his concluding remarks , exhorting you to , “ Now help other small companies dream big
and become future L&Ts “
Even
before he said so , you had embarked on the project of :
www.EmpowerMSME.com : , whose
entire focus is to enable 51 million Indian MSME (
employing 110 million persons ) , by copying / learning / imbibing , knowledge / systems / practices which made L&T ( - and other large /
successful companies ) great
As
per our telecon last week , please find some time for Ganesh / Rakesh ( LTI ) to give you a demo of this portal, when
you may want to invite PRK , who has
kindly agreed to upload a few hundred L&T documents , which provide a proof
of our own belief in this CSR initiative
of a kind , not undertaken by any Indian Company so far
During
a demo of the portal to SNS ( on 27 Sept
), he appreciated this initiative and promised to speak to ASSOCHAM ( Sandeep
Jajodia ) – CII ( Shobana Kamaneni ) and NITI
Aayog ( Amitabh Kant ) ,for their endorsement / participation in this project ,
as per MOU copy sent to you
earlier ( and copies left with SNS – PRK )

AMN,
As
suggested by you earlier , we ( Ganesh & Rakesh from LTI and myself ) had
given a demo of ,
www.EmpowerMSME.com ,
to
SNS , on 27 Sept
He
was appreciative of this unique CSR initiative of L&T and made some , very
useful suggestions to improve the usefulness of this site ( which have been
since , implemented )
SNS
asked us to meet PRK as far as the question of uploading of a few hundred
L&T documents ( non-propriety / non-secret ) was concerned – which , we did
and explained the concept to PRK , who promised to co-ordinate with various
L&T units , in this matter and act as a central contact point
Once
these documents get uploaded , my suggestion was to contact ASSOCHAM or FICCI
or CII ( or all the three ) , and urge them to participate in this project , as
per MOU attached
At the moment , this web site is temporarily
hosted on a server in my office
I
write to request you to convene a meeting of all concerned to take this
initiative to next stage

Dear Anilbhai ,
In this connection , I tried to reach you on phone on 9th
and again this morning – but could not
I hope you will find some time to review this project , soon
If coordinating with all concerned is proving to be a problem ,
maybe I can alone meet you and give you the demo . Technical issues can always
get addressed by Ganesh / Rakesh , at a later date
What we need now is a “ Business Decision “
Regards,
==================================================

Dear SNS,
During last few weeks , I tried to reach you several times but
Krupali told me that you were tied up with budget meetings
I hope you are ( relatively ) free now and will find time for
reviewing EmpowerMSME and decide on next step

Dear
SNS,
After
our review meeting of this portal , you agreed to write to :
# Shri Amitabh Kant
( CEO – NITI Aayog ) { my earlier emails to Shri
Kant , already with you
}
# CII
# Assocham
I
appreciate that due to your busy schedule , you might not found time to do so ,
as yet
But
, since the portal is already hosted for over 6 MONTHS now , I urge
you to find a few minutes for this – even though it is not a high priority
matter
With
regards,
==========================================

Dear SNS,
If you so desire , I could myself write to Kant / ASSOCHAM / CII
, etc but those emails may not get read !
But , coming from you , not only will these get read, but get
appreciated as a noble CSR initiative on part of L&T to contribute towards
growth of MSME . A communication from you will get ACTED UPON !
It is more than a year since we started on this project . In this “
Relay Race “ , it is time to handover the baton to the next players

Dear
SNS,
Behind
developing www.EmpowerMSME.com
, our intention was quite similar to the one expressed by Shri Amitabh Kant , in the following news, viz :
“
To pass-on to MSME , knowledge / expertise / practices developed by large
organized companies , and , thereby accelerate their scaling up “
I
await your convenience to meet up and take this to the next stage
With
Regards,

Dear SNS ,
Many thanks for your prompt response to
my yesterday’s email , where you write :
===================
Dear Sir ,
I read with
interest. Am aware of this. Have passed it on.

No doubt , reviving EmpowerMSME web site
would require “ re-hosting “ it on some server
But that is no more than a few hours job
for Rakesh / Ganesh ( LTI )
Most important step is to get CII –
ASSOCHAM - FICCI , to join forces with L&T in its CSR
initiative
For this , I urge you to send out the
following email ( draft ) , with whatever changes you deem necessary
I would be glad to come over to your
office for a personal discussion , if desired
You can reach me on 98,67,55,08,08

regards,
