Dear
Amitabh ,
Today
is 17th Anniversary of the official launch of a Silicon Valley Start Up called GOOGLE
(
incidentally , I had launched.... www.3pJobs.com.... 10 months earlier on
14th Nov 1997 )
Even
as you ask questions re the phenomenal success of Silicon
Valley Start Ups , you may want to relate their answers with
my today's blog
with
regards,

WHEN IS RANK #
1 BAD ?
Only yesterday , UN member countries adopted UN Sustainable
Development Goals for 2030
It calls for elimination of poverty and hunger from the World in
next 15 years
Today , there are 795
million hungry people in entire World
Of these , India tops the list with 195
million hungry
Wrong parameter in which to get Rank # 1
!
And since India's population is growing by 15 million people
each year , there is no threat anytime soon , of India losing its first
rank !
But without a job , hunger cannot be wished away
In India's Employment Exchanges alone , 43 million jobless youth are waiting for an interview call - a
call that never comes !
Can these Job-Seekers be converted to Job Creators ?
By making them , " Self
Employed " micro enterprises ?
As per one estimate , today some 30 million MSME in India are
providing jobs to 60 million persons ( ave of 2 per MSME )
So , if these 43 million are given loans of Rs 5 lakh each to
start their own businesses , they will create 86 million jobs !
May be this is what Shri Narendra Modi had in mind , when in UN
General Assembly yesterday , he said :
" The world speaks of private sector and public
sector. In India, we have defined a new personal sector of individual
enterprise, micro enterprises and micro finance, drawing also on the strength
of digital and mobile applications. "
Could he have added ?
" When we continued to tinker with umpteen processes for
the past 30 years , China's GDP grew to $ 10
Trillion , when India is struggling to reach $ 2 Trillion !
If we cannot prove that ECONOMIC REVOLUTION can be made to
happen in a DEMOCRATIC set-up , hungry people around the World will lose faith
in Democracy !
If , in a democratic frame work , Silicon Valley Start Ups can
take USA GDP to $ 17 trillion , so can
we . And we will "
Understandably , UN is not the forum where he could spell out
the details
I hope , that consists of enacting :
" Start Up Act - 2015
"
( which I am lobbying for past few months )
