When I read any book, I scribble my comments / notes in the margins


These reflect my views / opinions about what the author is saying – including my disagreement

Often, my comments are in the nature of telling myself :

Hey ! We should try out this idea in our own business ( Head-hunting / Online Recruitment )

Following are my comments re :

·         In our case, both the corps. Recruitment managers and the jobseeker, can become “excited” about

·         Did not succeed?

·         We may initially give away free “job-Advt “over cell phones (till we become Industry-standard)

·         Thereafter, we will make this a “paid service.

Page no.5

·         Recruitment manager must not feel “embarrassed” by signing up for Global recruiter” web service!

·         (We may need to give a lot of demos & hand holding)  

·         For jobseeker, especially in India, most deeply felt need is to land  a job (Roti /Kapada/Makah/ marriage 

·         Depend up on a job). But since only 1 in 10,000 will get a job, other 9999 must get job alerts & ability to blast resumes to hundreds of corporates to improve “probability.”

Page no. 12

·         By sending out 100,000 Butterfly version of resumes to their owners (beginning August),

·         We plan to given them this “CONVENIENCE of applying for jobs to hundreds of corporates,

·         With very little effort (of emailing). Next step, would be to give them the CONVENIENCE of blasting

·         Their resumes to dozens of corporates  thru “APPLY ONLINE ALL Jobsite do-but

·         We had a different revenue model till now.

Page no.13

·         For global recruiter to succeed “love “needs to be replaced with “Hope” (hope of getting a job)

·         For millions of jobseeker. And for corporate recruitment managers, it must improve their aaaaa’ promotion! (21-05-03).

Page no. 19

·         In these examples the user generally knows the “Distinction” the place/the restaurant/the theatre.

·         As against this, a “job Alert” can be delivered over mobile for each of the 100 jobs that match the resume of cell phone owner! And you don`t have to be without a job!! You can instruct jobsite to

·         Deliver job alerts for only a given “city” or “Designation” or “function” or “salary level etc.(22-05-03)

Page no. 21

·         If JAWS can match your resume against thousands of job –Advt. Being posted daily on     jobsite & in newspapers, & then MMS you job alerts of your “choice” then why would you need

·         To read newspapers (job section)? IT

Page no. 24

·         When we send out 100,000 Butterfly version resumes, will these succeed in capturing the imagination

·         Of jobseekers? will this Buffer fly version ‘captivate” him strongly enough to make him “share”

·         If with his friends/colleagues-who, in tum,

·         May want to “about” it just out of curiosity?

·         e.g.; can a butterfly resume right on top of the pile where it is bound to get noticed?

·         Can our Resumine technology do this (miracle?)For a jobseeker?

Page no. 25

·         If butterfly resume wallets, start getting Interview –calls and spread this story, by word of month

·         (Or by email), then the “late majority” is bound to join the bandwagon.

·         Jobless million

·         Jobs holders in 52-30 age group (3-7 yrs. of exp)

·         Executives well settled in their jobs (>10 yrs. exp) manager

·         Very senior Executives, whose designation/company say ”everything”

Page no. 26

·         How can transform (Resumine) butterfly in to “pop culture”? Get a celebrity to endorse it?

·         Who is the “Idol” of jobless million?

Page no. 27

·         Are first batch of project EGO emails (attaching Butterfly version) should go to ‘software/IT’ guys (in Bangalore?)

·         With the current slump in their job-market, they would be desperate to “Experiment’ with our new technology! They would want to “believe” in its power to get them a job.

·         Crucial for us. (22-05-03).

Page no.   28

·         Our assault on HR mgrs. would be a “Pincer” they will receive, move & more of Butterfly resumes

·         Against their job Advt. Simultaneously, we will send them a list of their own past job Advt along

·         With an invitation to become “Early Adoptor”of our web service with starting database of hundred buffers fly resumes (free).

Page no.29

·         Jobless million Agent that gest them an interview call. Theory of cognitive dissonance so, we must publish list of “early Adopters” on our website, which every can see.

·         Butterfly Resume

·         Our promise to HR mgrs. when they use our web service.

Page no. 30

·         Our Global recruiter will encompass both, B2B (India marketer) as well as B2C (recruit)

·         we are planning “customization even for HR managers, who are “business audience’

·         Selling our business model to jobsites 7 placement agencies is going to be tough.

·         Delivery thru Internet /TV /newspapers/phone wires radio, using all kinds of devices.

Page no. 31

·         It is quite likely that Global recruiter may fall in this category of selling an “experience,”

·         Love hate fear frustration jealousy anger Allure greed ego etc.

·         in our  marketing   campaign, we will try to “arouse,” each of these emotion, in jobseeker & recruiter.

·         Like “money earns more money “set avalanche in motion! What we must do (thru butterfly resume) is to bring about a ”self-fulfilling prophesy! (24-05-03)  

Page no.32

·         We must ensure a “word of mouth “buzz starts with project EGO.

·         Butterfly Resume

·         We want jobseeker to “share” their “profile” (function/salary/Designation)

·         This is the core idea behind project EGO& project CYBER-“share” with friend & colleagues-a new CULT?

·         We do  

·         We will target computer & net savvy, software guys, to set the ball rolling.

 Page no. 33

·         I presume that those few, who start using Butterfly resumes for their future job application,

·         And receive interview –call-will start the BUZZ, amongst their friend /colleagues-& set the ball rolling.

·         In India NOW is the time for jobseeker to start using Butterfly  resume, because  

·         Unemployment is rising

·         IT hiring has dropped & dropping

·         Million are getting added to job market

·         VRS

·         Temp-staffing etc.

·         IN India highest “passion” is getting job& highest virtue is keeping it once get it!

Page no. 34

·         Function profile /salary –profile /Designation profile, are “Badges “I Expect jobseekers to wear & impress friends. (But only the younger ones, below 30yrs)

·         see my remark on p=29 the 3 profiles mentioned above is all  about comparing  where you stand vis-a –vis, a large peer population –other human of your “TYPE”

·         Joblessness is a time of great stress!

Page no.35

·         Project EGO, will vastly facilitate an unemployed  youngster, to shoot-off hundreds of his (Butterfly)

·         Resumes to hundreds of corporates with very little efforts improve

·         his chance of getting an Interview-call (24-05-03)

·         A job satisfies desires for ROTI-KAPADA- MAKAN MARRIAGE. What can be deeper?

·         “Interactive response page” Butterfly  resume (project EGO)

Page no. 36

·         Like a “drowning man clutching straw”? For jobless person, could Butterfly be such “straw”?

·         Jobless software guys?

·         Get a job/any job, fast.

·         So these could also be thousands graduating from NIIT & APTECH/SSI/silver line etc.

·         They would want to buy anything that might work!

Page no. 37

·         Our ultimate clients are Recruitment managers (for Global Recruiter). But thru EGO,

·         Their interest will get aroused when they start receiving butterfly’s

Page no.  38

·         Projects Manhattan proved one in tuition Next we will test project EGO (Aug 2003) &then project

·         CYBER (Nov-2003) & then JAWS, by Des-2003.

·         We will discard Manhattan, when we launch EGO.

Page no.39

·         Will they do same in Iran in 2003? Do they remember the lesson? Also in Afghanistan.

Page no. 40

·         Is it likely that if millions of executives get their “salary profile. Graphically in our butterfly

·         Resume it might create a huge wave of ‘feeling Unequal” & set in motion, unprecedented waves after                                     

·         Waves of “ demands” for higher salary –as each executive cheeks out

·         His percentile standing? (24-05-03).

Page no. 41

·         And having job is the greatest security for almost anyone anywhere but much more in India

·         Where 270 million people earn less than #1 per day! (the Official poverty line)

Page no. 43

·         Can our Project CYBER/JAWS, provide a “level playing field’ (removal of Inequality) to the rural less

·         Sophisticated jobseekers by making available to them a summary of job across the country?

·         Can these projects increase “worker mobility “across states & help integration?

Page no. 46

·         When we are plotting “ salary profile” & “Designation profile“ we are, pointing out  to a candidate, his

·         “Professional” standing us Advt, his peer- group.

·         e.g.: we can offer to a website service subscriber, to plot such profiles for each of their employee & make available such comparisons for a price!

Page no.48

·         A large resume database  may well appear to be a “worthless land “ till such time developed countries

·         Facing a shortage of skills, discover if we must “comer” all available resume & then make the announcement.

·         Competition.

 

Page no. 50

·         Self-fulfilling prophesies ego ; using Butterfly resume when applying next would get you an interview –call such a proposition is extremely appealing to

·         The unemployed even though largely speculative! (25-05-03).

Page no. 51

·         When a jobseeker uses Butterfly resume instead of ordinary resumes he is, actually, reducing the risk of

·         Not getting noticed / getting shortlisted.

Page no.25

·         Buyers vs. Sellers

Page no. 53

·         Most jobseeker may be happy with their email resumes unit they see the Butterfly version. Same

·         May be true of recruitment manager. If recruitment mgrs. start shortlisting more of Butterfly resumes them the message will ring out loud & clear amongst the jobseekers that this is THE WAY, to apply!

·         Each jobseeker is competing with hundreds of others for one job-so he has to outperform.

·         We can expect other search –firm (or even software Cos) to come out with their own Butterfly versions.

·         By making Global recruiter as a “web service”(and not a shrink-wrapped product) we too, wish to spread –out all over the world .

Page no.58

·         Function profile /salary profile /Designation profile /Demand profile (popnlanty Index) etc.

·         Are all “statistical communications” between jobseeker & remitters?

·         With Global recruiter we will do this In India by partnering with all Indian Mobile operators to deliver job alert & candidate alerts, over  their network to their subscribers we will provide  cheer

·         (But not free) Content.

·         As Butterfly Evolves, it too, world become a win /win for both, the recruiter & the jobseeker.

Page no.;68

·         Who Knows, one day Recruiters will be also to send out interview –call SMS over mobiles.

·         I don’t see any problem technically No waiting to open your email box!

Page no. 69

·         In my report “QUOVADIS”(1988), I have predicted a machine, which would also include, the other

·         2 senses of “smell”& taste”.

Page no. 70

·         The difficult part!

·         Project Manhattan has demonstrated that the “concept” has worked. Now if project EGO, clicks

·         The way, I have predicted, then our tech team will gain confidence, to try

·         Out CYBER/JAWS/PINCER etc. (26-05-03).

Page no. 71

·         We are not “content creators” we must get others to create content & then we must become “MASTER MANIPULATOR & DELIVERER” of content using somebody else`s “delivery channels” e.g.: Intermit/TV /newspapers /radio/warless, cell phones etc.

·         In terms of resume –database size, we are far behind monster`s 20 million (we have only 100,000)

·         But we will overtake monster one day “Global Recruiter would fit this definition the famous Advt of
AVIS was we try harder-because we are #2 (Hertz was#1)

·         For too, Global Recruiter is a totally uncharted area.

Page no. 77

·         Quite like L&T`s promotions to covenanted cadre.

Page No. 81

·         At this moment, I too, am frightened at the thought of losing, RS.25 lakhs of investment (mostly salaries)

·         In Global recruiter, if it fails to click! (27-05-03).

Page No. 86

·         In our case if demand for our web service builds-up rapidly, we would need to increase “server”

·         Capacity & band width – both of which are available.

Page No.87

·         Rs.30, 000/ for a land line! Rs. 25000/ for a cell?

·         Important lesion for our web service.

·         Page No. the tariff that I have worked out for our web service  are kept ridiculously low in order to

·         Attract even small/medium size companies. Our major investment is in salaries of tech team & not in

·         Sever /band width.

·         This is precisely my game plan too. Our price performance ratio has to be irresistible.

Page No.89

·         For our online web service, jobsite are “online “competitors in a limited way –as far as “Resume searching”& Resume Tracking is concerned. But we have no competition in Resumine.

·         Rs.5000 about the same in India which too started at 4 times costlier sets.

Page No.90

·         Since our web service, would have no “real” competition when we launch in Ang., I would like to rope

·         In hundreds of corporates by keeping tariff low, so that we get in to a monopoly situation.

·         Something which Reliance is trying to do with its 700 web stores & 5000 petrol pumps.

·         Our “level of service” in Global Recruiter , would be same for all clients irrespective of their size

·         Or the amount of business they bring us.

·         Franchisee or licensees. My idea of making jobsite as our “web service Licensees” is to

·         Tum them from completions to allies 

·         Leverage their existing corporate customer –base to our advantage

·         Give them new revenue –stream. (27-05-03).

Page No. 91

·         We will also target 1000 placement- agencies as our web service “Subscribers” –by offering them

·         A tariff which is 50% lower than what we will offer to corporate!

Page No. 93

·         Our Global Recruiter web service –in a limited sense-falls in to this category of “utilities”. All companies have 10% employee separation, which requires replacements. If they have subscribed to our

·         Web service, they will use it to fill these vacancies. This is a perpetual affair.

Page No. 94

·         What are our “phones” and which are our “stores”? Could these be “job advt. summaries?” That I hope,

·         Cybercafés would display next to their machines? Or small-town newspapers will print in 6 columns?

·         These will get us more resumes –to convert to Butterfly version.

·         And when these Butterfly versions reach Recruitments, managers our web service would be will subsidize resumes (i.e. convert in to Butterfly version-FREE) in order to, make money later, from corporates who will need our search engine. I hope our “Innovative solution” clicks! 928-05-03).

Page No. 95

·         (see my note, “most wanted sent to Abhi 2 days back

Page No. 96

·         Butterfly as our brand?

·         A job alert, delivered as an SMS, would be such a” wireless Data product. So would be an “interview –call SMS or a graphical “Function profile.”

Page No.  97

·         Only a jobless person can truly appreciate the “richness” of an “interview –call “delivered over his

·         Cell –phone! In a country where 43 million (unemployed) are registered with 913 employment exchanges, there is no sweeter sound or sight!

·         Whether Butterfly resume really an “emotional product” or not will be product EGO& MOST WANTED.

·         I don`t have this problem.

Page No. 98

·         I would not be surprised if some of my colleagues think about me, in these terms!

·         I am not going to give up easily either!

·         I too feel Global Recruiter, would open-up a new chapter of opportunities for 3p.

Page No. 99

·         To launch “Global Recruiter” we too, should host a dinner-cum – demo, for 50 recruitment managers.

Page No. 100

·         I conceived of Global Recruiter around Nov.2002 & we are working hard to launch it on Aug.9, 2003.

·         With a team of 7/8 persons. (28-05-03).

Page   No.102

·         There is no future for Global Recruiter ( irrespective  of millions of Butterfly resumes that we may give away “free” to corporates),

·         Unless

·         If increases Recruitment Manager`s productivity, many times over

·         Vastly reduces recruitment cycle time

·         Reduces recruitment-related cost (eg. Advertising in print)

·         It help recruit more competent executives (i.e improves quality of hiring)

·         It makes entire process easy/simple.

·         These are “values” which we have to deliver thru Global Recruiter. (28-05-03).

Page No. 104

·         For our “Global Recruiter” web service, we have opted for NET technology in India has used it –and most certainly, no one, as for as e-recruitment is concerned.

·         Would .NET deliver us that luck?

·         Like, “I will get what I deserve”?

·         A self-fulfilling prophesies?

Page No.105

·         What could, possibly our own “lucky points”?

·         Project Manhattan, certainly is It got us 100,000 resumes in less than 6 months.

·         Project EGO? CYBER? JAM? PINCER? Who knows! But we will give each an honest/ hard try.

·         And we will not give up easily if we face problems along the way.

Page No.106

·         In India this could well be 0.00000001% But that could change if we could convince Reliance/Tata /bharti/ BSNL/MTNL, to agree to deliver “job Alerts” from 3p`s website, to their subscribers.

·         Initially we will give away this content FREE!

Page No. 107

·         Our Resume Database, can easily create “peer” groups of executives, having, identical

§  1. Eddo 2. Age 3. Function score   4. Designation level  AND then compare /plot their gross

 

·         Salaries. This is already planned in Global Recruiter.

·         Page No. 108 We can expect to see same/ similar “frequency Distribution curves”

·         (Of salary) in peer groups overall population.

 

Page No 110

·         This is equally true for Global Recruiter to fly!

·         But in Global recruiter there isn`t much “mobile data” except for delivering, as SMS, “job-alert”

·         And “interview-call.” But both evoke very powerful positive emotions in a nation with 20% unemployment! And 5 yrs. down the like, there could be mobile, video interviews.

Page  No, 122

·         Do we have parallels here? Vikram  Athlete was recommended by his uncle, Arvind Athlete (my friend),

·         Sunitha was send to us for interview by Hugh Francis who thought she was good at ASP (for which he had no use) & Regis was a friend of Rajeev who developed our Knowledge Tool & then left for Dubai Rajeev, while leaving, suggested we hire Regis.

·         We have only 8 to be precise.

·         By going the. NET web service route, we want to reach beyond shores of India. We also want to avoid

·         Hiring hundreds for marketing & customer –support.

·         Read my today`s note “make luck” (29-05-03).

Page No.123

·         A year from now we will know, whether our combination of people & decisions was right.

·         In 2003, in India, there are only 3.5 million internet connection (last month)

·         True in India, even today. This is one reason for low penetration –lout it has given rise to 50,000 cybercafés. I propose to leverage these thru project CYBER & JAWS< by creating  additional revenue

·         For them.

Page No. 124

·         No mystery average India a computer still costs a year`s salary! Rs.30,000

·         Fours thousands of job Advt on dozens of India jobsites is the best “content” to attract India`s

·         Jobless millions. This is the basis for CYBER & JAWS & for Indian software engineers, it would

·         Be “foreign” jobs that would prove irresistible. We only need to develop “Delivery mechanisms”

·         To deliver these jobs to millions their resumes to corporates. This is what all jobsites are already

·         Doing but we would “aggregate” jobs from all jobsites.

Page No.125

·         But, no other Indian jobsite has the ability to transform an ordinary, unstructured email resume, in to

·         A Butterfly version. And within 2 years, Indian software engineers, should be able to “store” their

·         Butterfly resumes on their cell-phones & zap it to any employer as an email!

·         Butterfly version would drive Global Recruiter`s success.

·         We plan to create virtual Employment Exchange agencies as our subscribers.

·         For us right time is NOW.

Page No. 126

·         We are working on exactly same thing Get 4/5 giant corporates as Early Adopters of

·         Our Global Recruiter.

·         We would do something  similar with jobsite but in reverse first, we would sign-up a lot of small jobsites

·         (as our Licensees) & isolate the big daddies (Naukri/monster/jobs Ahead)

·         Once we have acquired critical mass (of 2million resumes) the big daddies will be left with no choice –

·         But to sign –up.

Page No. 127

·         Before we make any “moves” with jobsites, we will follow this route; corporates – Placement (Agencies) – jobsites but project EGO/PINCER must succeed first, before any move can be made.

·         I have EGO. Will make Butterfly as THE STANDARD for resumes.

Page No. 129

·         We would have “arrived,” if, both the jobseeker & the recruitment managers, find great “convenience” In using the “interactive Response page “of Butterfly version. (30/05/03)

·         We badly need all “apps” to succeed   

1.    EGO

2.    Pincer

3.    Cyber

4.    JAWS

·         I wonder, how soon we would be in apposition to deliver “job Alerts” over cell phones! Read my today note “the second wheel” (30-05-03)

Page No.130

·         “job Alerts” are the most “ attention grabbing content” what anyone can deliver over cell-phones in a

·         Country where millions are jobless. I can foresee cell-phone companies making huge money thru such

·         Service & we can help.

·         I wonder if DOCOMO realized this! Or may be unemployment is not such a big issue in Japan!!

·         But read killer app. would enable Indians, to Zap /SMS their resumes, stored in their cell-phone corporates of their choice or Advt. Of their choice.

·         For these are, 

·         bharti

·         BSNL

·         MTNL

·         Reliance

·         Tata

·         Hatch

·         Kartavya – would we need to use CHTML if we wish to deliver ‘job alerts over cell—phone?

Page No.131

·         Monster/Naukri/ jobs ahead would have ego-problem to switch-over to Butterfly version (by subscribing to our web service). Only time will tell.

We need to develop a Butterfly version for college students & fresh graduates.

Page No. 137

·         Also true of Indians in metros

·         No such Problem in India

 

Page No. 138

·         Neither such problem in India nor any “privacy” concerns.

Page No. 139

·         A pc cost Rs.25000/- in India Vs a cell-phone that cost about Rs.5000/-

·         And a “job alert” as an email (on pc) or as an SMS (on cell-phone), deliver SAME VALUE to customer.

·         If anything a job alert on cell-phone is instantaneous! If cell-phone Company were to introduce this service, many people will buy cell-phone. Just to avail of this service,

·         I believe TATA & Reliance & MTNL, WLL service are CDMA based.

·         Kartavya

·         Do we really need to “tie-up” with a cell-phone service provider? Cannot cell-phone users (GSM/CDMA), simply download “job alert” from our website?

Page No.142

·         Global Recruiter “Lucky” break and our technical team is working make

·         This hard to make this luck “happen”.

Page No. 144

·         Abhi

·         I strongly suspect that  our project EGO could turn –out to be our biggest “Lucky break,” if only the “Interactive Response” page (on Butterfly version) is executed elegantly flawlessly  for the first time in recruitment history (any wherein the WORLD!),we would succeed in establishing a true 2-WAY, dialogue

·         Between jobseeker & recruiter with least effort & in a COMPULSIVE manner!

·         And so, am i!

·         (31-05-03).

Page No.159

·         Very true we are going thru this right now.

·         I agree almost every day; I come up with a new way of leveraging Global Recruiter ways which wand make recruiters likes -a FUN! (02-06-03).

 

Page No. 160

·         Very little time to “aim” before firing!

·         This is a good attitude  to have while working on any “project” (-the tiny ball)

·         Most of my ideas were conceived during my morning & evening walks –or in my sleep.

·         Resumine is entirely based on email.

Page No. 179

·         This “human connectedness” between a jobseeker & thru the “Interactive Response page” of project

·         EGO, which is email, back & forth, between the two.

·         E.g.: job Alert/most wanted/ Function profile etc.

·         I hope & expect recipients of Butterfly (under Project EGO) to recommend

·         it to 10 friends/ colleagues each.

·         I hope project PINCER will do this trick! Will do this trick (read my today’s note “E-mail marketing circulars (07-06-03)

·         This is exactly what we hope to achieve with email circular, “the Right candidate”?

·         We plan to employ this while trying to make jobsite as “licensees” of Global Recruiter

·         E.g.:

·         WAP

·         But caught on very well in India with 42 million cable connection (<50%of all Tv~ sold).

·         Perhaps in Resumine, Butterfly (Function profile) is the FUN part –I hope!

·         ……………………………………………….

·         I plan to make this graph, our LOGO for the new division.

·         This look even better!

·         A book about southwest Airlines, titled “NUTS” is worth reading.

·         This Reliance X & Xll standard results on its mobile phones- with full subject wise “mark sheets.”

·         SIFY did the same thru its 1000 cybercafés (i way chain).

·         Why JAWS & jobs alerts are missing? (08-06-03).

·         “virtual interviews” could be added to this list like a “ virtual exam/test”

·         I just wrote “ try and Buy” page for our the Match maker web service (changed to day from

·         Global Recruiter to the match make) (08-06-03).

Page No. 194

·         Read my note “The horoscope and other (equally factious) stories” written ¾ weeks back. (08-06-03)

·         Basing our web service on .NET would make it easy for us to deliver it over mobile devices.

·         (-also fixed device like TVs, thru set- top Boxes). So one day the match maker can reach all homes & deliver JAWS at doorstep!

Page No. 196

·         Even in India there are a few jobsites which are much bigger than ours (monster India /Naukri/jobs Ahead etc.).

·         But could it be that, we are the first to identify the need to lead to “web service”?

·         My own “Hybrid model” depends up on partnering with 1000 placement agencies & above mentioned jobsites. Read note “Hybrid model.”

·         And next we must customize Resumine for American style resumes. Then only we can extend our partnership (Network) to U.S. placements agencies & U.S. jobsites. (08-06-03).

·         Our web service, too by definition, available to any corporate around the world

·         On interment, as a “pay-per its launch-at least theoretically.

·         In my note 2 days back I did admit that project Manhattan did tiring in some embarrassment

·         But it was not without gains. It got us 87000 resumes in last 6 months. Without which Resumine

·         Could not become robust & Function Exposure profile (our USP) would

·         Have been impossible! (09-06-03).

 

Page No .201

·         As a method to reach out to jobseekers (-and persuade them to send in their resumes), I had designed

·         Project JAWS I detail, even long before I thought of project Manhattan for same purpose! Had we gone JAWS first, we would not have needs Manhattan & been spared the embarrassment. but we were not ready with 3 things which were required to launch JAWS vis: Rapid downloads of job Advt of

1.    jobsites 

2.    Rapid conversion into a structured database

3.    Blasting software. In 3 months, we should be ready.

·         Read my proposal report, “Kaun Banega Bhagyashali?”

·         In projects CYBER –LOCKIN-JAWS, I have consistently advocated that, thru our “partnering” we must create opportunities for our partners to earn additional revenues – an altogether NEW revenue stream.

·         Only then they will agree to join us.

Page No. 210

·         We too will use multiple” delivery channels” to distribute our content (TV/Newspapers/ Internet/mobile phones etc.).

·         We are in the content game not delivery game. And I have repeatedly said that we will not get into the business of “creating” content.

·         We will simply take same one else`s content & present it differently- more meaning fully.

·         eg: “job market Demand Graphs” created from downloaded job Advt. (10-06-03).

Page No. 211

·         When we take to Reliance/Tata /bharti/orange etc.

·         re: delivering “job Alerts”(i-e. some content which mobile phone subscribers, want & are willing to

·         pay for)then we must ask 50% share of their “delivery-revenue” After all they have to do nothing!

Page No. 216

·         If it ever comes about crowning achievement would be convince Indian Recruitment managers, to bypass the “own your recruitment software” stage & directly leapfrog to “pay-per use. Net” web service

·         This is the URL we booked today  & with that I intend to “appropriate” the entire “category”

·         of pay per .use web service! We must become synonymous with anything & everything on the web which is in the nature of “pay per use”!

·         this might be our lucky day.(11-06-03).

·         Is it possible that youngsters, “Most wanted” graphs over their cell-phones, might want to share

·         This with their friends? (Read my note “most wanted”).

·         It is even Possible that this desire to share may also extend to

·              Function profile

·              Salary profile

·              Designation profile

·              Horoscope (Custom designed by sender) of loved ones!

·         Like sharing same oxygen in the atmosphere to which everybody is connected.

·         Under project PINCER, this is how I intend to convince the corporates to become Early Adopters By giving away 87000duly converted Resumes- FREE! To some 3000 companies! They most have some resumes to conduct research! Get hooked!

·         Job Alerts would fall in this category. Does not matter even if your boss is sitting in front of you!

·         You may want to receive one, especially when he is sitting in front of you!! But better know that you are in great demand!

·         This is the reason, I propose to keep “Activation fees” for our web service, at a low, RS, 5000/ ($100)

·         This would attract thousands of small/medium companies to subscribe.
