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,
Hemen Parekh

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: FW: RE: FW: Make in India Web Portal


Dear Amitabh  ,


As mentioned in my email below , yesterday we uploaded on B2B web site , following feature :


>  Blast Message - Corporate / Industry wise


With introduction of this feature , it would take FOREIGN COMPANIES , just ONE mouse click to send their " We are interested in talking to You " type messages to ALL Indian companies , operating any particular Industry-Sector

This will enable them to zero-in on suitable / potential Indian partner companies , in a matter of SECONDS  !

Compilation of database of MPs / MLAs is also progressing well and ought to be ready by this month-end

This will enable us to send out " Email Alerts " ( links on their Smart phones ) to look up " We are interested " messages from Foreign Companies , addressed to Indian Companies located in their respective States

As Hon Prime Minister , Shri Narendra Modi said ( in his speech at Vibrant Gujarat ) , this will increase " Competition " among various States to attract Foreign Investments to their own States ( - all states do not have resources / expertise / motivation to copy Vibrant Gujarat model )

I await your indication of a suitable date in February , when I should plan a visit to Delhi , as suggested by you

with regards,

hemen

Dear Amitabh


I am glad that you liked my suggestions - and thank you for your invite for a discussion with DIPP officers

I plan to visit Delhi , in early Feb 2015 , on a date convenient to you


In the meantime , we plan to upload the following pages / features on B2B web site :

>      Blast Message - Corporate / Industry wise................   12th Jan

>      World - Wide - Wall ..............................................    29th Jan


We have also started compiling  databases of ,


>    Members of Lok Sabha

>   Members of State Legislative Assemblies


I believe , whenever a Foreign Company sends " Interest Message " to some potential Indian Partner Companies , concerned  MPs / MLAs , should also get  Email Alerts

We should involve them in the industrialization of their own constituencies

If they come to know that XYZ foreign company is talking to an Indian Company located in their constituency , they would follow-up / chase various State Departments for early grant of permissions / licenses / no-objection certificates etc

I also read your comments re increasing Exports by 25 %

In India , many SMEs have competitively priced / good quality products , which are " Export - Worthy "

But these SMEs  have no money to advertise in foreign media - online or in print

And , obviously , they have no " Contact Details " ( Email IDs ) of their likely Foreign Buyers , to be able to send out their " Marketing Message "

Through my Promo Emails , I am encouraging them to " Compose " their Marketing Messages and send out to some 8,000 + International Chambers of Commerce ,in 5,332 cities of the World , listed in our online database ( Blast Message - Chambers )

I am suggesting to these SMEs that they " Request " these Chamber Presidents to forward their Message to their Member Firms - may be 8 MILLION foreign companies  !

B2B's message blasting service ( to International Chambers ) is the cheapest way for SMEs to announce the existence of their products /services to the World - just Rs 1,600 / - to reach their message to 8,000 Chambers  !

with regards ,
