Goyal suggested the industry focus on areas like online delivery of services, reach out to bodies of professional services abroad for mutual recognition agreements, and give proper feedback for free-trade pacts and a dynamic business-to-business portal.

The services sector provides employment to nearly 2.6 crore people and contributes about 40 per cent to India’s total global exports. India is the seventh largest services exporter in the world. In 2020–21, Indian services exports were valued at $ 206 billion.

OK, so may be Shri Goyal wants some Industry Body ( FICCI ? ASSOCHAM ? CII ? NASSCOM ? ), to launch such a portal

So, where do I come into this picture ?

Around 2014, I had designed / got developed ( at a cost of Rs 5 lakhs ) and launched ( and then de-hosted ) :

www.B2BmessageBlaster.com

What were the main features of that B2B portal ?

It enabled registered businesses to :

# compose their “ Business Messages “ ( any number ) and store these online

# Search/Select, any no of “sets” of TARGET INDIAN COMPANIES( from 2.8 lakh in 380 cities / 52 industries )

# Search / Select, any no of “sets” of CHAMBERS of COMMERCES ( from 5332 cities around the World )

# With just ONE CLICK, send ( e-mail ) message to any one or a SET ( of Companies or Chambers )

Did I approach the Central Government for any support / collaboration ?

Yes

In fact, on 05 Sept 2015 in Mumbai, I gave a DEMO of this portal to Shri Amitabh Kant ( who, at that time, was Secretary –DIPP and had just launched MakeInIndia campaign / portal )

Shri Kant was highly impressed with my B2B portal and was fully supportive, but for some reasons, my collaboration proposal could not go through

( a small part of our exchanges at : INVITING 8 MILLION FOREIGN COMPANIES ? )

What do I propose now ?

I urge Shri Goyalji

( officeofmr@gov.in / piyush.goyal@gov.in )

If satisfied, motivate ASSOCHAM or FICCI or CII or NASSCOM, to download the source-code from the

following link and hurry-up to launch the B2B portal

( of course, they will need to compile the latest DATABASES for integrating with the Source-Code )

Dear Shri Goyalji,

If I could help launch B2B portal in any way, it would be my privilege

Person mandated to implement this project, could feel free to reach me on hcp@RecruitGuru.com

# In my view proposed portal MADHYAM should host such a database of Indian

Companies and incorporate a “ Multi- Way Communication “ feature ( between

Foreign Investors / Shortlisted Indian Companies / related Govt Agencies )

# This (feature) could be in line with the following links

( www.B2BmessageBlaster.com )

which I had launched in 2015 and later de-hosted ( a demo was given to Shri

Amitabh Kant in Mumbai on 05 Sept 2015 )

Dear Shri Piyush Goyalji,

As repeatedly offered in the past, I would be happy to hand-over the source-

code of

www.B2BmessageBlaster.com ,

to your Ministry which is developing MAADHYAM

( absolutely FREE and without any obligation what-so-ever )

At this stage ( before launch of MAADHYAM ), it would be highly desirable to

ask :

# Is it not too cumbersome – and expensive – to

maintain THREE different portals on the same / similar /

complimentary subject ( and duplicating some information ) ?

# Will we end up confusing Foreign Investors by trying to simultaneously

promote 3 different portals on the same / similar subject ?

# Is it too late to consider merging / consolidating, all three

portals, in order to make this a truly SINGLE VIRTUAL ENTRANCE to

India ?

Dear Shri Kant

MakeInIndia web site is, indeed , an innovative initiative

But how to get 8 MILLION Foreign Companies to visit this site ?

And which 8 MILLION foreign companies ?

And how to send across this invitation ?

Here is my suggestion :

* On........ www.B2BmessageBlaster.com....., we have an online

database of 8,000 + International Chambers of Commerce , located

in 5,332 cities around the World

* It would be reasonable to assume that , on an average , each of

these Chambers , has approx 1,000 firms as their MEMBERS

* That adds up to 8,000,000 Member Firms

* After REGISTERING DIPP on B2B ( Nature of Organization = "

Government Depts / Agencies / Statutory Bodies " ) , Blast

following message ( suitably modified , as deemed necessary ) , to

these 8,000 + Chambers

That should take , no more than 2 hours !

If there are any questions, feel free to phone me ( 0-98,67,55,08,08 )
