Idle brain on telecom industry

The Indian telecom industry is the fastest growing and one of the most competitive sectors presently. Currently call rates in India are among one of the lowest in the world, but still this industry is sitting on a huge opportunity. The call rates can be pulled down further by allowing VOIP.

This radical change can change the face of telecom industry completely in India.... with call rates so cheap communication would be even more affordable and would give a boost to the industrial sector. Some of the analysts have claimed that with VOIP call rates can go as low as 10 paise/ minute.The ever funds thirsty Govt. can also capitalize on the not only by the licensing fee but it can also collect per call charges say 10 paise/minute giving a constantly increasing revenue source to the govt.

The consumers will still be happy as the call rates in the country are around Rs 1/min it will be a win win win situation for the telecom industry consumers and the Govt.
This fund so generated can be utilized in tuning up and building core telecom connectivity which would further lower the costs to the companies. A major part of this fund should be used to develop infrastructure like public transport and roads in the area form where the revenue is generated ...... making the country a better place and providing a much needed push to the slowing growth.

Idle brain on Construction industry

It is vacation again and i am idle at home just to kill some time i was thinking about the construction industry in India

In India construction industry is organized to a very low extent and that too in the few class I cities. The majority of construction now a days is taking place in the smaller cities and villages, if the industry has to grow really fast it will have to integrate the rural and class II , III and IV cities in its activities.

So the question is how to penetrate into these markets where the sector is dominated by the local contractors and builders who are trusted by the people but often cheat them inspite of this trust by costly and poor quality construction.

The first step in the move could be the ready-mix concrete, most individuals in the smaller cities know that they are being cheated by the contractors on quality grounds, thanks to the media which regularly reports construction scams in govt. contracts, but they have no choice as the larger companies are reluctant to enter the stream leaving hardly any choice for them. The ready-mix concrete can capitalize on this by an Advertising campaign questioning -- "Do u trust your local contractor's skills in mixing the cement ?? dose he make a proper mix?? Is he compromising on your safety??......... Ask him to use ready-mix concrete only, mix made by international standards .. ... no cracks.... no leakages.... a safe secure dream home"
Such a campaign might work extreamly well in the small cities where every one (the growing middle class) is trying to build his dream home. Providing the companies a gateway to the large rural and small cities market. Once the people trust the ready mix concrete they will be addicted to its quality , time saving and clean procedure and the cement industry can expand at a faster rate. The ready mix can also compete with the on site mix on pricing owing to its large scale and fast work.----- get your moulds ready and we will be there to finish the concreting in just a few hours... Such a design would be good for both the ready-mix industry as well as public as they will get better quality and prices. Moreover the bad quality woes in the smaller cities govt. contracts can be minimized leading to a healthier infrastructure and rapid growth.
