We shall now develop technology ourselves! Enough of BPOs!

We shall now develop technology ourselves, instead of just creating applications using them! Enough of BPOs!

The IT revolution that we have witnessed in the last ten years was because we learned the various technologies and created applications using them for varied fields. The need for software at all levels using the latest in the technology was fulfilled by it.

The revolution showed us the rise of Indian IT giants like Infosys, Wipro, TCS etc. But now the saturation has come we have so many engineers that can work on different programming languages and tools but we don't have more than a handful who can actually develop a programming language or develop a tool.

What engineers nowadays do is master a couple of programming languages and try to get job somewhere and do the low end IT programming. The high end the real techie stuff is the core development of the technology from the scratch. Teachers in colleges also focus on how better an engineering student can write code on a programming language or application platform already developed, instead of encouraging them to develop their own platforms or technology.

I recently had long discussions with few highly experienced IT friends of mine who are based at all the IT development headquarters of India i.e. Bangalore, Gurgaon, Noida, Chandigarh, Mumbai and Pune. They all were convinced to this point that, we now in India need Technology Developers not Application Developers. The good points that we concluded were that if we have a significant number of Technology Development initiatives in India we would not create something unique and useful but it would help also help us to keep the technology in our hands and then give it to people to develop applications out of it. This would help us generate even more revenue and much bigger and technologically sound companies will have a long lasting profitable future.

The second thing will be that we will have the control over whole of the IT supply and demand cycle we will only be the manufacturer and we will only be the applications developers so double revenue generating opportunities, isn't that Good! Then we can have more international clientele on our lists than ever before!

Third is that our nation will come with more research papers and we will then not lag behind in the technology development race.

Fourth is that we can achieve ours and our ex-president Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam's dream of making India a self dependent Superpower sooner!

So my friends please give this idea of mine a thought and think which way is better for you and all i.e. being an App Developer or a Technology Developer!

Help "You"rselves to create history once more, to start the revolution once more, to mark the new beginning once more!

How to talk real and motivate your team in "Recession"

In order to motivate teams the respective team leaders tends to show dreams to their fellow members. They give false hopes of increment, promotion or foreign business trip but it backfires badly sometimes if the respective company's top managers are not "That Appreciative" :)

If the members work just as they were expected to and, then if they don't receive what they were made to dream of! They get really pissed of and loses any kind of loyalty towards the company and sincerity in their work. They feel they were being cheated and so at this point in time its very difficult to gain them back on your side. So be careful before making employees or team members dream!

The right approach is to tell them about the reality, and tell them when the good times return i.e. "post-recession" their present day stand with the company and the understanding they showed now, will surely be appreciated. This will make the employees and team members feel motivated and a bit more loyal towards the company. They will feel that a responsibility is on them, to row the ship out of the whirlpool now but later it is sure they will land on a blissful island!

So I would advice all my friends to be true, show reality and stand together to come out of this whirlpool i.e. "Recession". The economic slowdown is slowing down a bit. Inflation has fallen to beat 32 years record, companies are gaining in terms of profits again, BSE also showed a bit of smooth rally in the last couple of months, so the good signs are coming guys!

I am pretty confident that if India will progress like; it has progressed in the past and is progressing now, we will be even less effected by these kinds of whirlpools in future if they come again....

But the need of the hour is to make our Great Nation Stronger but remember always my friends that a Nation becomes Great only when its citizens act Great and are Great ! I do not doubt on any one of you, as "You" are the future my friends! So, be brave, be sincere & always stand with the truth because that can help us develop a responsible, stronger nation and a peaceful, better world to live in & prosper!

Indian Youth Mindset is changing gradually!

In the last blog post I urged Indian Youth to think beyond the contemporary career options and instead start their own business to create jobs for fellow Indian youths. Instead of us being depending on MNCs start our own multinationals.

So the good is news is that some of my friends has actually started planning too, to start their own companies, they are aggressively into the business planning and pre-launch stages. Sunny is working on his plan to start micro-irrigation & carbon credits business, Varun is thinking to start his online gaming portal, Akshat wants to start his coaching institute for engineering students, Shailender is an activist in Samajwadi party & his aim is to be a politician, and Anshul wishes that his prosthetics & artificial limbs company shall start soon.

Is'nt it so cool my friends! they all are trying to do something that will someday help build our nation stronger and self dependent with lesser unemployment. "YOU" also rise and as still there is so much space and areas for our nation to grow in, try and do something to bring a new revolution in the nation. BEST OF LUCK TO "YOU" ALL!!!

Indian youth should think and go beyond the contemporary career options!

Everybody knows that why USA is the superpower and why now China is speedily heading towards becoming one!

The reason for this is that the youth in these nations were and are more enthusiastic, they are more ambitious and they are more determined than us.

What the majority of our Indian youth do after getting a professional degree or education, is to go and try for a job. Then once we get it we do not think of any other thing than normal life. We just flow with the daily routine and work, and in the process we also get promotions and salary increments etc. We become satisfied and thus lacks the capability to think big or achieve even better than what we are getting.

This is the point that makes us different from the youth of the other two nations I have talked about. Their the youth thinks beyond the contemporary and try to take risks. They try to start their own company or business at some point in time, some try to do it soon after graduation some after getting some experience but in India it is not so. The majority of the people here just do not think about it also. They feel unconfident they think that they don't have money or the resources or the team and so many other negative things they think about rather than finding solutions or remedies to find a way out of them!

If the Indian youth would have thought or acted in a different way, then in India the youth which is now so worried about jobs scarcity due to recession would not have bothered about it. They instead would have been creating jobs for others! I don't understand why people always thinks that if they get job in a MNC then its good rather teaching kids in private tutions is not cool! Let me take this example only, my friends I myself taught children of class/grade 4th to 12th and in the process I used to earn a handsome 15000 Indian Rupees a month. I used to enjoy explaining scientific fundamentals and trying out scientific experiments with them. Now if I would not have been interested in Nanotechnology or would not have thought of starting my own business with a better idea then this one then I would have definitely opened my coaching institute. At least I would have helped to better the Indian primary education by it.

I would like to advise my fellow Indian youth brigade to think and become innovative, try to stand out from the ordinary crowd, try to create some space for yourself, and try to start your own thing. This will not only give you the confidence that you are doing what you are best at or what you wished doing all life. But also it will make our nation stronger and one day a superpower. No nation becomes great my friends unless the people living in it acts Great!

So my friends if any one of you has some awesome idea which you think has the spark to ignite the Revolution take it out, make a business plan out of it, approach venture capitalists, and Government, give your best efforts to make it into a reality. I would also like to request any parent who is reading this blog to please try and give your son/daughter a chance to prove themselves, have trust on them and support them, after all who would not like to be remembered as a father or a mother of tomorrow's Dhirubhai, Bill Gates or Walt Disney!

So GO FOR IT FRIENDS !!! Mark the Beginning of a new stronger You, India and the World!

Some queries you might have about my blog...

The first query to a person who visits my blog would be => whats this INNEA?

The answer is that as I am very obsessed by innovative technologies and related stuff. I thought of putting the name of my blog as the combination of these two word's prefix and suffix: INNovation and idEA, so like this it came INN (of innovation) + EA (of idea) = INNEA

The second question might come to any watchful reader would be that why this guy stopped writing after April, 2008.

The reason was that I was busy in stabilizing my career and was working hard for the company I am working in right now i.e. YashNanotech Ltd, plus I was trying to materialize some of my own plans. That was the reason my blog writings got hung up for a year! But now it will not happen as now I will keep writing them whenever something interesting happens or when I am in mood to write....

If any other queries are there please ask me. I would love to reply to them.

Do not just talk! Do it and then talk!

I, everyday meet and see so many people around me who just talk so much about what they want to do, but they either don't take the required serious efforts to do it or they just waste ours and theirs time in just idle talks....

I have seen so many managers and researchers who love just talking about what they want to do like a new product or a new project but instead of taking real initiatives they somehow think that it will be done by their juniors or subordinates. They tell that do it or you are in trouble or your life is in trouble or its a matter of life and death for you all sorts of foolish phrases they use haha! On the other hand when the poor junior fellow tries to do something about it. Even a single mistake in the try is treated as a huge blunder or the guy has done some scam of trillions of dollars :)

So I would like to advise all the wannabe managers/researchers/team leaders to lead the front and indulge creatively in the development process along with others in the team, rather than sitting and discussing, wasting time in meetings over the same topics/problems for months. Doing and then discussing helps a lot more than to just talk and do meetings about doing something i.e. nothing.

Take the charge, do, help and motivate; these things can only help in any project rather than finding mistakes in others, wasting time in meetings and just pressurizing others to do the work, which you were entitled to do! Team spirit and mutual respect only has helped great people to do great things a single man can do nothing alone! If anybody has doubt on me I would advise him/her to go and read about Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer, read about Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, read about Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Warren Buffet and Charles Munger, Narayan Murthy and Nandan Nilekani, there are lots of other great men too. So please be cooperative, build team morale and, then see how the wonders happen !!!
