Rajeev
Chandraekhar has finger on the Tech Pulse / ET
/ 08 July 2021
Extract
:
Chandrasekhar ( Rajeev.c@sansad.nic.in ) is among the
earliest MPs to assess the power of Social Media and Tech Platforms and start a
public debate about the need to regulate them
Son of an air commodore,
Chandrasekhar earned his post graduate degree in Computer Science from the
Illinois Institute of Technology, when te subject itself was new, and personal
computers were a prized possession
He was on the Intel 80486
design team, and later on the architecture team of the Pentium
In 1994, after returning
from the US, he founded BPL Mobile, taking the plunge into a sector that was
still in its infancy
Over the next decade or so, he and
several other ambitious entrepreneurs pushed for reforms. Tis led to the new
telecom policy in 1999
===================================================
MY
TAKE :
Ø
I
wish these “ technocrat ministers “ ( Jitendra Prasad / Aashwini Vaishnaw /
Rajeev Chandrasekhar ) best of luck, in developing in India ( or acquiring from
abroad ), latest technologies which will help major problems facing the
country, as suggested in my following earlier e-mail
:
Need of
the hour ? : TEAM ………………………[ 21 April 2017
]
Where I suggested :
“ By TEAM , I mean : Technology Evaluation and Acquisition Minister
Whose job description will be :
Remain constantly on look-out for developing / developed technologies from around the World, evaluate their relevance to India’s myriad problems and acquire the same from the developers ( including patent rights / IP rights, to exploit it / improve upon it )
Make available these acquired technologies to Indian Companies (
both, in private and in public sectors ) / NGOs / Start-Ups etc , FREE of
cost ( conditions apply in respect of production targets / pricing / time to
implement / after-sales service etc ! )
Following are some such technologies “
===================================================
In that 4 YEAR old e-mail , I had listed some 12 problems facing our country – along with ,
Ø
Brief descriptions of
technologies that could possibly help solve those problems
Ø
Sources ( contact details of inventors ) of technologies
that could possibly help solve those problems.
No doubt, during
the past 4 YEARS,
Ø
Some
of those 12 problems have been addressed ( partially or fully ) or being
addressed
Ø
A
number of NEW PROBLEMS have arisen that demand another set of technologies
I have prepared
lists of such NEW PROBLEMS ( along with relevant technological solutions ) and
would be happy to send these lists to the ministers, if so desired
With regard,
