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?"

Dear Dattatriji,

 

 

 

Just read in today’s Times Nation ( print copy ):

 

Bosch’s India engrs are converting cars to mobility gadgets ( could not find e-link )

 

 

In this article, you are quoted as follows :

 

“ I call cars mobility gadgets. We have, for instance, developed solutions which bring context-relevant information in the car, which can be extremely useful for users.

 

Say you pass by a shopping mall as you drive, you’ll get personalized recommendations on your infotainment screen, as well as parking options “

 

 

I am sure, your clever engineers can “ REVERSE “ this process , as described in my following blog :

 

 Future of Advertising ……………………………(  30 Aug 2018 )

 

Extract from blog :

 

Say , a spectacle-wearing pedestrian is standing on the footpath , in front of a shop of SUNAYAN OPTICIANS and sees a BEST bus approaching .

 

 

He had visited an eye doctor in the morning ( record on Mobile )

 

 

Lo and behold ! He sees on the side of the bus , an ADVT from SUNAYAN OPTICIANS , saying : FREE eye check up for the next 15 minutes !

 

 

That advt turns into an ad from AJANTA CHEMIST ( located 50 feet away down the road ) , where a pedestrian has a mobile in his hand , using which , he had ordered PENTOCID tablets in the morning

 

 

To his amazement , he notices that the Google Ad urges him to buy ANTACID tablets at 20 % discount - of course, from AJANTA CHEMIST !

 

 

 

Somewhere else you are quoted as :

 

“ We believe all vehicles will become like mobile phones. They will all be connected, and just as your phone gets updated regularly, you will have new features that will be regularly updated onto your car. Cars will become dynamic products … You need very deep domain knowledge to understand the systems in a car. We need people who can write code and algorithms that control the mechanical systems “  

 

Dear Dattatriji,

 

 

      As per this article, you plan to hire 2,500 engineers this year . When you advertise, possibly 250,000 engineers will apply

 

      No doubt, your recruitment process will be :

 

Ø   Multi Stage

Ø   Involve some kind of WRITTEN TEST

Ø   Face – to – face Interview / Assessment

 

 

      But a moot question is :

 

     Even if you plan to call only 3 candidates against each position, how do you “ shortlist /  zero in “ on 7,500 out of those 250,000 applicants ?

 

 

     Here is a suggestion :

 

     Send them following link and ask them to send to you, a one page LOGIC of how , if selected , he / she will prepare a detailed PROJECT PLAN to implement it :

 

Transport : an Integrated Logistic Plan ? ………………………….[ 20 Nov 2018 ]

 

   

     And, as far as those engineers who you already employ, you may want them to expand their VISION  HORIZON by going through :

 

A Brief History of Electric Vehicles in India ………………………..[ 30 Jan 2021 ]

Traffic Offences are a Lesser Priority  ………………………………..[ 14 Mar 2021 ]

Thank You, Shri Dhakneji, …………………………………………………[ 16 Mar 2021 ]

Thank you Shri Gadkariji, …………………………………………………..[ 19 Mar 2021 ]

Google points the Way ……………………………………………………….[ 01 Apr 2021 ]

From E-Way Bills to Express-ways of Commerce ? ……………[ 18 Apr 2021 ]

Vehicle Fitness Test ? A 7 year wait ? …………………………………[ 19 Apr 2021 ]

 

Inconvenience caused if any, highly regretted
