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,
Hemen Parekh

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

PERSPECTIVE

Newspaper Article Title: The silliness of online dating

Handwritten Notes (Abhi):

  • I presume our "Match Rate" is much better, but we have yet to compile statistics. (Which we will do, when we are free from more URGENT development)
  • Our "Apply Online" rate is close to 0.8 percent reported by "airintroductions. com"
  • But our rate must improve over time, considering that for every 1 air-traveller there are, I may be 100 jobseekers! I hope to get them to register on WWJ, when they read JAS! This is why, it is important to get JAS published in 100 newspapers.

Newspaper Article Title: Byrd bites the dust, H-1B Desis can rejoice as Ireland hunts for skilled pros

Handwritten Notes (Abhi):

  • Ireland is an English-speaking country.
  • Jobs being posted on Irish jobsites will be in English.
  • So, it should not be too difficult to download such jobs & match & send JAM to Indian jobseekers.
  • On WWJ, we will soon need a page, where such newspaper articles can be reproduced. Articles which say, XYZ countries have need for ABC type of personnel & look to India to fill those jobs.

Newspaper Article Title: 30M MOBILES IN LOW PRICE RANGE TO RING IN BY '06 / Pocket Pick: Sub-Rs 2K cells set to flood market

Handwritten Notes (Abhi):

  • In 6 months we should be able to buy Cell-phones @ Rs. 1500/=
  • In 6 months we should have Global Recruiter / India Recruiter working smoothly with 5 lakh resumes & 50000 job-adults.
  • In 6 months, we should have RAM working smoothly on Airtel (Mumbai) - for Mumbai-based HR mgrs.
  • So, in April 2006, we could call a demo-dinner party of 40/50 HR managers and gift to each of them, a Rs. 1500 handset with Airtel POST-PAID subscription and give on-the-spot demo of RAM. We could recover the cost of handset, if each HR mgr. downloads 500 resumes! - may be just 3/4 job-adults!

Newspaper Article Title: Now 'possible' is voice e-mail / Sovereign Infosys above

Handwritten Notes (Abhi):

  • Sending Voice-messages as email will require at both ends - Sound card - Speakers / - Mike
  • So, this technological development may not have immediate implications (positive or negative) to WWJ/GR/JAM/ RAM etc - but then who knows, how future will unfold!
  • But newer technologies have a habit of making "business-models" redundant. So, we must, for ever, remain on look-out for employing new technologies ourselves FIRST, so as to "obsolete" our competitors.
