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,

MAKE LUCK

Someone has said
 "Luck Happens when Preparedness meets Opportunity".
In the look DOCOMO, which I am reading currently, the authors are propounding a theory that DOCOMO was not "Lucky" - they made lunch "Happen" bye
  . "Anticipating" the shape that telecom (mobile telecom) technology will take in future.
    . "Figuring - out", what human emotions, can be made to express/ ventilate themselves, thru use of such new/ advanced technologies.
    . "Preparing" / "Getting - Ready", to exploit the technology/ human emotions
 Hence, the authors argue, it was not really surprising that DOCOMO ramped - up their subscriber - base to 40 million users,
(33% of Japan's Population) within 4 years !
Learning from DOCOMO's lesson, I enclose 3 sheets, in which I have tried to on time, how,
WE MUST PREPARE OURSELVES
during the next 3/4 months, to launch initiatives.
These initiatives, have the power & potential to make our web service
THE VIRTUAL EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGE OF INDIA.
We know that 42 million Indians are registered with country's 900 + employment exchanges. We know that 15 million Indians get added to our population EVERY YEAR ! We know, more than 2 million Indians Graduate from all colleges every years ! Within 5 years, the world will see much easier/ freer flow of skilled manpower across national boundaries – thanks to WTO.
We know that a lot of companies from "Advanced" countries, our outsourcing business processes. Most of these jobs are flowing into India.
We are, as a country, on an inflexion point.
If we "Prepare" ourselves will & get ourselves "ready", we are bound to run into our luck / our destiny, in the next 6/8 months. Here, I am talking of 3P. The projects (Manhattan - Ego - Pincer - Cyber - Jaws) are NOT independent/ stand - alone.
These initiatives are "part - and - parcel" of our Global Recruiter Web service. Just because, these projects involve, a lot of OFFLINE work/effort/preparedness, does not mean they do not contribute to the success of web service.
If anything, Global Recruiter will succeed, only if these projects succeed - and produce results, as expected.
Since, others in technical team are busy developing .NET, the main responsibility for launching/ implementing these projects, fall on you/Deepa.
 And I know you are not one to sit back & rely upon "Luck"!
