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,

WHERE CAN WE COMPETE GLOBALLY ?


Dear Shri Chandrashekhar,


In today's Hindustan Times ( 30 March 2016 ) , you are quoted as :

We have to look at a strategy that makes us globally competitive . That strategy will have to identify what we can be globally competitive in , and one in which we hold an edge over competitors from other countries.

Clearly, IT is one area in which we have huge strengths. Coincidentally, at this point in time, engineering, R&D, and design , are the fastest-growing areas within IT "

I do hope the concerned Ministers / Secretaries / and the Policy Makers of NITI Aayog , take time out to deliberate your views

In this very context ( as to where can we compete globally ), you may like my following blog

" BACK FACTORY " OF THE WORLD ?


China is known as the " Factory " of the World

India is known as the  " Back Office " of the World

Can India become the " Back Factory " of the World ?


Wrong question !


Right question is : WHEN can we become the " Back Factory " of the World ?


Answer is " hiding in plain sight " !


This week , an astronaut , sitting in a satellite 400 km above the earth and hurtling through space at 16,000 km per hour , operated a robot on the earth


Earlier , scientists sitting in NASA space centre or  in Shri Harikota space centre , have operated Mars Rovers / MOM ( Mars Orbital Mission ) remotely


From a distance of millions of miles


And soon , astronauts  will be sending emails to earthlings from millions of miles away , using " Space Internet " on their Mobile phones


Invariably , each such team of scientists , comprised Indians !


So , WHEN can our scientists - and software Start Ups - enable Indian workers , sitting in Hyderabad / Chennai etc , to operate / manipulate , machinery in factories of Europe / America / China ?

I believe this can become a reality by 2020 , if Central Government and State Governments , just get out of the way of our scientists / Start Ups and leave them alone !


Then tell them :


" You are our next generation of Freedom Fighters . Free our millions from
poverty / starvation / jobless depression / ignominy / suicides


Like war - ravaged people of North Africa , Indians cannot invade Europe / Australia / Canada , in search of jobs / better life


We depend upon you to bring the jobs to India - jobs such as ,


  *   Operating Machinery in Factories abroad

  *   Controlling Air Traffic at Airports around the World

  *   Operating upon patients in Hospitals , all over

  *   Teaching students in Schools , in remote Africa

  *   Any job that currently requires immediate presence of a worker



And , if you set up a " Back Factory " , you don't need to pay Corporate Income Tax for next 10 years !



Simply register on web site of Income Tax Department as a " Back Factory " owner and file annual " Zero Corporate Tax Return "



When this happens ,


Millions of skilled Indian workers will operate factories around the World ,
    sitting in , internet connected " Back Factories " in small Indian towns


>  Foxcon will not need to replace its high-wage Chinese workers with one
    million robots ( as officially announced sometime back )


    At half the wages of those Chinese workers , Indians will operate Foxcon
    factories , all over the World , remotely !


>  " Contract Labour Act " will need to be replaced with " Back Factory " Act


>  " Minimum Wages Act " will need to be scrapped !


>   India will not need to fight with WTO on " Manpower / Service Exports "


>   " Make in India " will morph into " Make from India "


I hope NDA Ministers and members of NITI Aayog will ask , Narayan Murthy / Sam Pitroda / Azim Premji / Sundar Pichai / Satya Nadela / Ray Kurzweil etc :


"  How soon can this be done ? How can you help ? "
