Vishal's Vision
In Indian languages , Vishal
stands for :
Big / Huge / Enormous / Great
Some may even translate it as
: Magnificent / Mind Boggling
That about sums up the vision
of Vishal Sikka , CEO , Infosys
It was apparent in his
interview in Business Line ( 16 April 2016 ) , which read :
Q :
... Indian companies
acting as visa agents. What is the way forward ?
Ans:
" We are working on
being independent of visas and it is possible because of advances in technology
such as Virtual Reality and collaborative technologies through which we can do
the same thing sitting out of any location "
Q :
What sort of impact will this
have on your business model ?
Ans :
" Yes. Right now , I
can't quantify the impact but it will take some time
Software is reshaping the
world around us. The future looks entirely different - as it is being
fundamentally reshaped by digital technologies
We have to re-imagine the
notion of services
However we have to bear in
mind that innovation is a need as much in good times as in bad times
"

" 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
> Foxconn 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 Foxconn
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 ? "
