Dear
Amitabh ,
Since
you personally interacted with the Start Up Eco-System in Silicon Valley , you
will appreciate my today's blog

Start-Up Eco-Systems / USA vs
INDIA
Whereas
there is a lot to learn from Start Up Eco-System of Silicon Valley , it cannot
be blindly replicated in India
Here
is why :
In
Silicon Valley , a typical start up has its roots in Internet
These
are web sites / mobile apps focusing on,
*
E Commerce
*
Social Media
*
Price Comparison
*
Geo-location
*
Dating
*
Buying - Selling
*
Causes...................etc
In
India , we are talking of getting " Unemployed " to launch "
Start Ups "
Anywhere
between 100 million to 400 million " Unemployed " for whom neither Public Sector nor
Private Sector , is in any position to create jobs
We
want them to become " Self Employed
" - what Shri Narendra Modi described in USA , as our " Personal Sector "
They
are unlikely to launch Web-based businesses , even if their businesses will
require them to have a Smart phone , on which , their customers can reach them
They
aspire to become :
*
Street-side Vendors ( Vegetables / shoes / purses / Fruits / trinkets )
*
Craftsmen ( Plumber / Electrician / Carpenter / Repairer )
*
Dhobi / Barber / Pan Beedi shop-owner / Tailor / Mochi
*
Doodh-wala / Ruddi Paper-wala / Gajra-wala / Delivery Boy
*
Cook / Maid / Courier / Tuition teacher / beautician / Taxi Driver
*
Home-cooked Tiffin Service / Car wash / Gardening
The
contrast ( from Silicon Valley ) is striking !
How
can we help millions of jobless to set up such micro businesses ?
As
USA entrepreneurs advised :
By
Government ( Central / State / Municipal ) getting
out of their way !
How
?
*
No licenses / permits / approvals / registrations
*
No personal Income tax ( a dejure recognition of a defacto situation )
I
hope Policy Makers will think " Out of Box
" and implement ,
Start Up Act - 2015
Anything
less just won't make much difference !
