Wanna Dine like Genghis Khan?

by Paul Joseph May 24, 2008 Featured

In India, there is a new dining experience created every day. And all these restaurants are having capacity crowd. Be it restaurant with Aquariums, designed like Train, Airplane, Jungle,…..But, the food is ready made with no provision to make it to our preference, other than adding salt/pepper or making special request. How about a restaurant where you can pick and chose the ingredients, but you do not have to cook? That is exactly the way Mongolian BBQ works. In Mongolian BBQ, you grab a bowl, select your meat and/or vegetables, add the spices, proceed to the grill. You inform the Chef at the Grill the sauce(s) to use and whether you will like Rice or Noodles. The Chef then Stir Fries your ingredients and serves it hot. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_barbecue for more information I am not sure whether Genghis Khan tried this, but I am sure Indians will love it

Cricket without Cheer Girls

by Paul Joseph May 13, 2008 Featured

With cricket mania reaching never before heights in India, every youngster wants to be a cricketer. But, where are the cricket grounds in cities? It is either not maintained properly or it is crowded by gangs. The streets, where we played as youngsters have now become racing grounds for vehicles. This is a good opportunity for you to setup a place for learning cricket. You can install an automatic bowling machine. This can be placed in as little as 10×80 Sq. Ft, which means it can be in your compound too. There is one Bowling Machine in Hyderabad installed by http://www.leverageappliances.com . See the attached photo And With current craze for cricket, you do not need Cheer Girls to bring in the customers to your place.

Help India from Chinese attack and make money

by Paul Joseph May 6, 2008 Featured

Please read the article in Times of India on 5th May titled “China mounts cyber attacks on Indian sites”. It is available online at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/China_mounts_cyber_attacks_on_Indian_sites/articleshow/3010288.cms From this article you will understand how there is cyber warfare threat from China. If India is involved in a war anytime in future, there will be a major attack on the cyber front. And for all you know, it will not be conventional or nuclear war that will decide the result of war, it might be the cyber war. Even though India is IT giant, when it comes to Cyber threat and Security, India doesn’t have companies with expertise in this area. At the same time, there are thousands of websites mushrooming in the country with many of them containing information like our Credit Card details that can be misused. All these websites are vulnerable to Cyber War. This is one threat that you can exploit to your advantage. Read the article on Penetration Testing at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_testing and many more articles available on the internet. You can start a company with specialisation on Penetration Testing, hire the mavericks from college, learn the art of testing from the internet articles and hurray you are in business. I can assure you, this is one specialized testing that is not prevalent in India and you can become the leader. The Penetration Testing is also one of the expensive tests where you can make a fortune.

Housing for people at Bottom of Pyramid

by Paul Joseph May 3, 2008 Featured

In economics, the Bottom of Pyramid is the largest, but poorest group. This phrase is used for business models that target this group. Case in point is the Ginger Hotels built by Taj group for people looking for Hotels at around 1000Rs per day. I started thinking about Housing for the people. Now, with lot of people migrating to Cities, there is lot of demand for housing, while there is not enough houses. What has happened is mushrooming of PG accomodation where 3BR house(s) in 30×40 are converted into PGs. In this case, multiple beds are placed in each BR, people have to share the living room, bathroom and at the end of the day lead to loss of privacy and fighting among inmates. We can consider these people as the Bottom of Pyramid, since they are looking for house at rent of about 2000-3000 per month. These people are mainly looking for privacy and independence and do not use living room, kitchen, pooja room…..Why not build no-frills houses for these people. I came up with a plan for 8 independent houses per floor in 30×40 as shown in the attached image. This is lot better than people sharing a 3BR house like animals. My plan may not be the best, but I hope you think about these people looking for a quality PG and come with your own plan.
