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?"

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: AGE OF COOPERATION


Shuklendu / Nitin,


In your yesterday's mail , you pointed out that , in our Company Database , many email Ids are wrong - resulting in Non-Delivery / Bouncing

You also pointed out that , if Foreign (  Message Blaster )  Companies and/or DIPP realizes this , there could be a backlash

I agree


Of course , the best solution is what I have suggested to Shri Kant , below

If the Company Database ( including the Email IDs ) is provided by DIPP , they cannot complain  !

We must await their response


But , if we are asked to continue with our own database ( acquired thru RSS feeds ) , then one thing is clear , viz:

In the " Email Alerts " ( when a Foreign Company blasts its " We would like to talk to you " message ) , that we will send out to DIPP / Indian Consuls / State Industry Ministers etc ,

we will NOT provide email ids of the RECIPIENT Indian Companies

We will just give , >  Company Name  >  Industry  >  City  >  State  ( we will need to add this field in Registration Form , if not done )

We may get away with this


But how can we get away with " Company Names " that read like following ?

>     www.visitmp.com

>     Company that provides processing services

>     Confidential

>     A

>     Large Industrial Catering Company

>    $ 20 billion Fortune 500 Company

>    @Aidasinc

>     A big Mnc Company

>     A big MNC in Bangalore

>     A CMM 5 level Company

>    A fortune 100 company

>    A fortune 40 global product development Company

>    A global company

>   A large IT company


In the first instance , we need to eliminate such Company Names from our database - descriptions which create serious doubts about our database - and rightly so too !

And , having removed once , we must ensure that , in future , such descriptions do NOT enter our database thru RSS feeds

If it is not possible to carry out such " Elimination " thru some software program , I am willing to remove/highlight such descriptions MANUALLY , with help from Tushar / Sanjivani

May be , if you send us a SAMPLE database , consisting of , say , 10,000 records

and ,

we HIGHLIGHT such anomalies manually ,

then , from these highlighted portions ,

you may be able to deduce some " Decision Rules " , to apply to the rest of the 2.28 lakh records

Pl let me know your decision

hcp

Dear Shri Kant ,

"  A number of suggestions made by you are already on cards and our agencies are taking them up in a phased manner. Certain suggestions are difficult to implement. For example, we cannot have a list of companies without verifying the credentials "

Despite my clarifications , if this apprehension persists , then I would be happy to replace B2B's existing  COMPANY DATABASE  with any one of the following :

>      Database of Companies compiled by Department of Company Affairs / Registrar of Companies

>      Database of Companies available with Income Tax Authority

As far as these databases are concerned , there can be no doubt re ,

Sure , there will be issues such as " Mapping " ( establishing the equivalence ) between ,

>      Industry Nomenclature as provided in DCA database , and

>      52 Industry-Sectors listed in B2B database

But these are minor issues , which we will overcome as we go along

Most critical issue is :

As in case of Japan , will we in India , learn to cooperate / collaborate between Government ( DIPP ) and Private Sector ( B2B ) , to raise our " Ease of Doing Business " rank from 142 to 1  ?

with regards ,
