Here I am, back again.
Day 2 isn't really day 2, but it's day 2 for me in terms of some achievements done.
So then, here are some things that have happened over the past so many hours for me and for us, as a team.
We have shortlisted the 100 cities that will cover India, in terms of population density, business clusters and people available online.
A small flashback :
When we ran this exercise at the onset of lockdown, we got only one response :
What is the Govt doing for us / should do for us.
For me, pretty shocking. And well, expected to. The first punching bag in such cases is always the govt. Lockdown should have been done earlier, later. Tax Holidays should be given. Loan should be waived off, blah blah blah.
This attempt now, is to change the way data is being collected. We are moving away from basic forms and straight questions to observing engagement online on social space.
Some of the aspirations we have collected from public space include the following:
1. Finance / Loan - ease of, and at lower costs.
2. More Sales
3. Greater Outreach to sell - setting up more sales teams at zero costs, and 100% commission.
4. Outreach to More distributors
5. Hiring Worries
6. Pending Dues Recovery Processes
7. Clearing Govt Dues
8. Import / Export rules to change
9. Skill Requirements
10. Margins Reduction
11. Process Automation
12. Collaborations / Partnerships
13. Greater Credit Periods
14. Easier compliance norms
15. Investing in transport
16. Legal Support
17. Low cost delivery mechanisms
18. Investment in Digital
And the like.
We have a LOT of people now coming forward to help us grow our outreach to various people in various industries - fascinatingly, a lot of connects are in the manufacturing space.
I'll be uploading our list of cities soon enough... Maybe tomorrow.
Till then
