This is no joke!

Even if I knew that the world would go to pieces tomorrow, I would
still plant a tree today!

I am genuinely trying to get an innovative power company to India which promises to increase the efficiency of existing thermal power plants by 20-25% using wasted heat..

This is an awesome effort.Support the same by doing whatever possible.I have shown my suppot for this by writing about it on my blog.
I have shared it also with my audience on Stumble Upon too-I think it is awesome.

solutions for existing problems

this post is just to remind and draw attention towards the basics and build on that foundation by informing of innovative solutions to existing problems which are also mentioned here:

1. Problem : Infrastructure is under a great strain to meet the demands for oil security, roads are inadequate, ports are not really being modernized, power situation is horrible Solution : The spending has to be done by government and private companies and people alike and merelip service is just not going to satisfy the ordinary people as everybody wants results and sooner or later.A difference has to made and progress needs to be seen A cartel that sort of fix prices for coal and ntural gas will be formed and if the money comes from governments and individuals after a little grumbling well so be it..These things have been seen earlier and we all know what the cement companies and oil companies did earlier in the name of progress and coming together to improve technology and all that crap.
   
2. Power: Technology and companies exist that can reduce costs of energy.Sooner rather than later cartels. Solution: Use innovative services for minimizing the cost of power by really helping out people who are doing a lot for energy conservation-these are basic in nature:for public lighting find out about the use of LED's.These indeed consume a lot less power than ordinary lights or CFL's.Architects have to be told to design energy efficient buildings that use less energy (see www.thevospad.com for a model).Computers need to be switched off when not in use. (see www.verdiem.com). Using a motor of the correct size for the application will reduce consumption by almost 20%.Compressors and pumps which have variable speed drives are available today or they can be made-we need to use the same. Transmission losses in India can be reduced by changing over to 400 KV transmission voltage.

I want to end here by saying by hook or crook we will end up paying the government or private players the money which we can rightly save and keep as our legitimate income-private people use asset recovery agents and we all know the type of people they are and the governments just tax the citizens and do not act adequately in the interests of the people.There will be more on these problems and a few innovative solutions will be suggested however all solutions should begin with a will to implement the same an for this a change in the attitude of people is need and for this ideas have to be presented and executed well-the best idea is to increase the morale of a failure by facilitating and making the failure believe that it is possible to do wonders and then even if the failure is ditched after sometime (making the failure a true believer)-the fire in the belly will be there to make a difference and that is going to get a lot of innovation and will spread it to ordinary people-the process will become irreversible.
This is what the cricket series played between India and pakistan have done and people to people contact has indeed increased by leaps and bounds and no person is in a position to reverse this trend.The warmth between people seen on both sides of the border during the test and one-day cricket series had to be seen to be believed and reflected a gfenuine desire for peace and cooperation in helping the region grow.
More will follow on these topics later.

what makes Silicon Valley so conducive to creating startup companies

what makes Silicon Valley so conducive to creating great startups?

The things that makes any area conducive to business creation (the Bay Area or Boston or Austin or wherever) are an entrepreneurial culture and a supportive ecosystem of institutions and professionals.

While it is certainly possible to create great businesses without those things, it is far more challenging. Places like the Bay Area tend to have a disproportionate number of individuals who are willing to bet on risky ventures. And they have a disproportionate number of lawyers, bankers, investors, accountants who have an expertise in business creation. In combination, all these things are self reenforcing and create an even stronger startup culture, which in turn creates a stronger drive towards business creation, which in turn fuels an economy of startup-focused service providers, which in turn lubricates the funding process, which in turn promotes startup growth, which in turn creates an even stronger startup culture, and so on.

Bangalore too has many people but many if not all have a stupid herd mentality and nobody gives a damn to people who have failed earlier in their previous ventures.To be a true winner really take a bet on a large number of companies and invest small sums only.A small sum of US $10,000 gets a lot of work done here (in Bangalore or a good city in India) and the fact is people here normally charge only on actuals (I am not talking of the big companies here).

The best type of people exist here too but these are really well hidden and one has to really search a lot and maybe these type of people will think of helping out-unlike in Silicon Valley where say a KPCB will offer you a check to just try out your concept.The check will be just enough to meet your expenses but hey it comes without the delay and immediately trust is established.It is this faith people show that spurs on these entrepreneurs who have spotted an opportunity and have had the guts to present their idea to a VC fund or Angel fund.

That said what further needs to be emphasized here is recognize the potential of an idea when you hear it and act after the same and not keep an entrepreneur waiting-the waiting period destroys whatever little trust an entrepreneurs has in an investor.

Tips to build a company are:

1. Listen to the idea patiently
2. Help the entrepreneur build a team
3. Incorporate the company
4. Write a business plan with the help of all stakeholders
5. Cut down costs to the barest minimum
6. Give visibility to the idea by giving a freebie
7. Use the net extensively to promote
8. Win the trust of team members and potential clients.

All this is done in Silicon Valley and the atmosphere there is a state of mind and people actually teach others what they do not know-it does not happen a lot here however it is changing and it is for the better.

An enterprise accelaration company

If you have a special server-based application with a half-second response time in the United States, and a five-second response time in India, it's a big problem. Companies that can optimize the performance of WAN-based applications to make acceptable response times without costing more will do well.

Swan Labs, a company that participates exactly in enterprise-application acceleration. It designs and builds appliances to perform these services for large enterprises.

I am beginning to like the talk about such companies with innovative products and services.When will people learn to love saving time better by using better technology.I think companies in the Enterprise accelaration space will do well.What needs to be done is see how we can use technology better.

Become better and faster and differentiate yourselves if you can afford it or barter-it still works,just find out the pain points of the other company/person whose need you can aticipate and complete.
