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?"

NEEDED : BOLDER REFORM


Will  Holograms  beat  H1B  Visa  Ban  ?



Poor Mr Trump !


He can build a huge wall on the US-Mexico border , but how will he build a “ Wall – in – Sky “ ?


To prevent Indian geeks from taking over jobs from Americans , he plans to raise to $ 130,000 per year , minimum salary payable to H1B visa holders , whether employed by Indian companies or by American companies


With this , he hopes to replace 350,000 Indian Visa holders , currently paid $ 60,000 per year ( with Americans at a salary of $ 100,000  ? )



MR TRUMP KNOWS THAT :


·         India’s IT industry employs 3.7 million people ( mostly software guys ) of which ,     barely 10 % are posted in USA
·          
·          Its annual turnover is about $ 150 billion
·          
·          Of this $ 108 billion is from “ outsourcing “ by foreign companies
·          
·          Most of this revenue comes from its US operations
·          
·          At $ 60,000 per year , Indian H1B visa holders , earn $ 21 billion / year
·          
·          At $ 100,000 per year , replacing them with Americans will cost the Employers, ( both Indian and American ) , $ 35 billion
·          

WHAT WE KNOW :


·         This bill ( if it becomes a law ), will certainly impact the Indian IT industry in short term
·          
·         It will force Indian IT industry to find customers in other foreign countries and reduce its dependence on USA
·          
·          
WHAT WE NEED TO DO ? :

·         Learn to thrive on problems . Treat this as a “ blessing in disguise “ . Turn this into an opportunity to “ re-invent “ our IT Industry
·          
·         Not merely “ allow “ but pro-actively “ enable “ our IT industry to become ,
·          




·         Grant these Back Factories , an “ Infrastructure Industry “ status
·          
·          
·          Enable BLACK MONEY investments into such “ Back Factory Units “,through a limited period AMNESTY SCHEME , outlined in my earlier blog
·          
·          
·         Exempt these BACK FACTORIES from Corporate / Personal Income tax for 10 years 
·          
·          
·         Enable construction of 1000 “ Back Factory Parks “ , each having 50 units , along the lines of Coastal Employment Zones proposed by Shri Arvind Panagarhia ( Vice Chairman , NITI Aayog
·          
·          
·         These 50,000 units will provide , at least , 500,000 jobs
·          
·          
·         LIKE SOUTH KOREA , EQUIP THESE BUILDINGS WITH 1 GBPS INTERNET BROADBAND
·          

HOW WILL THIS HELP ? :


·          These BACK FACTORY units will deliver REMOTE SERVICES to customer-companies all over the World, through



Imagine 500,000 Indian geeks swarming virtually in every American office !

And no way for Mr Trump to stop them !

[  Those having any doubt , may want to look up :



Dear Narendrabhai :

You do not need any convincing re this “ GAME CHANGING “ concept since you pioneered it yourself by addressing   800 election rallies   through your own holographic projection during 2014 election !


Please put in a word to Shri Arun Jaitleyji as he gets up to deliver his budget speech two hours from now !
