Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Tech World turning imagination real




In ( 23 Feb 2016 ) Hindustan Times , this is the title of a news report in section " Technology "

A part of it talks about " 3D Printed Couture " in following words :


"  Designer Anouk Wipprecht has created an open-source movement , which lets you work with them , and millions of other people across the World , to print your own 3D clothes , while another designer Danit Peleg boasts of designing textiles and manufacturing clothes , all from her home printer 

With several techniques added to 3D printing to create wearable technology, your clothes can even react with your body needs to bring in new colour , or even change shape as you gain / lose weight  "


Now spare a few minutes to read my following blog , posted just 10 days back ( 13 Feb 2016 )

I am no time-traveler and maybe it is time to stop looking beyond to day !

A BBC TV report last evening talked about the Chinese Manufacturers having developed machines that can carry out traditional Indian " Chikankari " embroidery on a saree within one hour what takes poor women of Lucknow, close to a hundred hours  ! 

And they are dumping these sarees in the Indian Market at one fourth the price  !

Some 5 lakh poor women in UP are in danger of being obsolete !

DIPP is planning to equip some 100 " Innovation Centres " at University Campuses across India , with 3D printers

How about some Indian Start Up developing a technology to 3D Print " Chikankari " sarees and make these software / hardware available to these poor women, to beat the Chinese at their own game ?

HOW    FAR    SHOULD    WE    SEE    ?

The rate at which innovations are continuously happening all around us , we need not look very far  !

In the internet age , the " Slow " ( to adapt ) will get overtaken by the " Fast & Nimble "

Even the " Big " will get left behind by the " Small "

How long before textile scientists come up with a fabric that does not require " Stitching " to make garments  ?

May be a fabric that can be " welded " or " glued " to form a garment  ?

And a automated assembly-line where :

*    Fabric is fed at one end

*    Glue ( or a welding wire ) , is fed at intermediate stages

*    Fabric gets cut into pieces as per online personalized  " designs " ordered  by visitors of Amazon / Flipkart /
      Snapdeal etc


What would this do to the manufacturers of domestic / industrial sewing machines and threads  ?

And then what would happen to such automated garment-making assembly lines when people install 3D Printing Machines in their homes ? - machines that can print garments as per designs downloaded from Net  ?

Far fetched  ?

Not if you have heard of Shanghai-based company WinSun , which recently constructed 10 concrete houses ( 5 stories each ) , overnight , using a 3D Printing Machine which is 6 meter tall , 10 meter wide and 40 meter long !


If invited to set up country-wide operations in India , I have no doubt WinSun can transform our Housing Construction Industry thru technology transfer
In turn , NDA Government can fulfill its promise to construct 50 million affordable houses by 2020


I hope this message reaches Shri Narendra Modi / Shri Venkaiah Naidu / Shri Nitin Gadkari
