Are We Globally Competitive ?

India imported an estimated $ 38 billion worth of electronics last year, while only about $ 19 billion worth of goods were manufactured here with minimal value addition. “Indian manufacturers face various other challenges such as high cost of finance – there is 15% interest in India against 2-4% globally and high power costs due to irregular power supply. This create a disability of about 20% for Indian Manufacturers”, - Ashok Chandak, Chairman – India Electronics and Semiconductors Association (IESA).

“With close to 5.5 million graduates passing out every year, and only about 0.7 million being considered employable by in the IT/BPM industry, over-supply and low employability is significantly diluting the demographic dividend. It is critical to understand the talent demand and supply landscape and engage, enable and empower a tripartite network of the government, academia and industry to grow the skill sets required for India to be future ready.” - Prithvi Shergill, Chief Human Resources Officer, HCL Technologies

Low skill sets and employability – now a demographic problem


Do we nurture & develop quality talent?

What is Gerald Celente Predicting ?

Successfully predicted the financial crisis of 2008

“India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Israel, Palestine, Saudi Arabia & Singapore which has seen its first riots in 40 years are included on the endless list of nations experiencing war, terror, economic turbulence or social unrest. But the story we would tell in each case is the same. ... The young, who are providing much of the energy behind these uprisings, are not likely to abate their efforts, particularly with about one quarter of the world’s youth without jobs or an education. They are restless, angry, without hope and thoroughly distrustful of the power structures that rule their lives. ...It was a trend that was long in the making and one that we had long predicted.”



















Empowering the youth for competing in the global economy and job creation is not an option anymore

Lets get ready for the Next Industrial Revolution


We missed the Open source software revolution in its infancy, Let’s join the Open hardware revolution to get into a world of opportunities

“The business models enabled by the Linux platform, namely cheap innovation, Quick scale-out and mass collaboration, is directly responsible for the success of

Top Web 2.0 companies including Google, Facebook and Amazon.”

- Jim Whitehurst, CEO of Red Hat

"We believe this is just the very beginning of the hardware revolution. The world is eagerly awaiting new devices and new device platforms.

Look around you and it is hard not to see opportunities."

- Jon Callaghan

Welcome to the Open Hardware Revolution


We are at the very beginning of an amazing change in the way we build, buy, consume, and experience devices. It’s been called a

whole bunch of different names over the past decade, but now that things are (finally) heating up the name that feels like it’s

going to stick is “hardware revolution”.

"The evolution in hardware development in some ways parallels what the software industry saw ten years ago."

- Matt Witheiler

Forecasts for 2014 to 2030 – World Future Society: Trends & Breakthroughs

Open-source robot blueprints cut the cost of robots by 90% Robot development may soon dramatically accelerate thanks to new open-source hardware-sharing systems. Similar to open-source software for computers, this new robot-development platform allows participants to share their designs so that other developers can adapt or improve on them. By sharing hardware and software development, costs may plummet and innovation may skyrocket. For example, a caregiving robot that used to cost more than $350,000 to purchase may soon be available for under $25,000.

“It is projected that India will need to grow its agricultural output 12% to feed its people in 2020. Much of this has to come by growing more on the same amount of land. this land, however, is weakening and withering” reports M Rajshekhar

“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.” — John Gall

Portable Washing Machine

http://www.oswash.org/


Portable Washing Machine Position: Student - National Institute of Design, GAURAV RAUT 2009

“ As a student living by myself for the first time, I had a difficult time with mundane everyday tasks like washing clothes myself. Soon I realized, I wasn’t the only one facing problems in this area. Many of my friends were struggling with the same issues. So when I had the opportunity to chose my own product to redesign for a classroom project, the answer was right in front of me. Empathy was the driving force behind this project. With no mode of mechanized washing available, I often spent hours doing my laundry by hand. The only constrain was the selected product to redesign needed to have an emphasis on technical complexity. A portable washing machine met the desired constrain and would be an innovative solution for individual and small family users looking for convenience.”
