Ø Multinational
corporations have begun setting up virtual technology centres in India where
entire teams work remotely
Ø Management
consultancy Zinnov
– which helps foreign firms set up Global In-house Centres
[ GICs ] or
captive units in India – said four companies had set up their centres virtually in the county
recently
Ø “
The pandemic has caused a large portion of the onsite outsourced talent to work from their
respective homes. This has resulted in the distributed work-force model with a proven success record. Companies are
leveraging this learning and looking for alternatives across the world at
reasonable costs “, said Amita Goyal , principal and head of GCoE
practice, Zinnov
Ø India
is a the obvious choice for most companies since GIC has been a tried and
tested model, with a mature ecosystem and required skillsets.
Ø Alongside,
there has been a shift towards moving high-tech , innovation-driven roles to
India, as companies grapple with a shortage of tech talent in their home
markets, especially in US

Ø
But then , in today's
totally interconnected World , why should it be necessary for housing 10 / 20 /
50 persons in ONE place , under ONE roof , for collaborating on execution of COMMON tasks ?
Ø
I am sure, in any given ONE square km of a small town , there are 50 unemployed - and quite possibly , GRADUATE - youngsters , who
would be more than happy to " work from home “
Ø
They will be happy to set
aside , in their homes , a 5 feet by 5 feet space , as a " Home Work Station "
Ø
Now, that subsidy of " Rs
1 lakh per seat " that the IT Ministry has promised , is quite
sufficient to set up a :
VIRTUAL CALL CENTER ,
by connecting those 50 youngsters through a , VPN ( VIRTUAL PRIVATE
NETWORK )
Ø
And since these youngsters
are working from their homes , they can be asked to work in 3 shifts of 8 hours each , providing " Round the Clock " service to customers !
Ø Why give a subsidy to a prospective " OWNER " of a Call Centre ?
Why not give it directly ( DBT / Direct Benefit Transfer ) to those
youngsters ?
Ø
Of course , this subsidy
transfer should take place , only AFTER ,
the Call Centre Owner , certifies that it has entered into a " Contractual Retainer-ship " with a
particular youngster
Ø
I would request you to
consider the following aspects of my suggestion :
* No new
building premises needed
* All technologies for a VPN, are existing / well proven / reasonably
priced / easy to
* MSPs / ISPs and your own Ministry are pushing internet connections to
every corner
* Moving from " Ownership of Assets " to " Assets as Service " scenario (
ala Uber-Ola-
* Moving from " Employment " to " Self Employment " with direct transfer
of subsidy to
* Has the potential to raise India's share in global BPO business from
current 36 % to
* Can earn
billions of dollars in foreign exchange
* It would become a LIVING PROOF that DIGITAL INDIA can help our un-
employed
* Google / Microsoft / Facebook , would be happy to help since " Next
Billion " is their
In an age where the " Fast and Furious " are out to overtake the " Slow and
Steady " , the meek are unlikely to inherit the earth !
