Equal Opportunities

The world has evolved to provide equal opportunity to one and all. May it be an entrepreneur, Anti socials (can be taken as a mild term for terrorists), so for the policing, Governments, Students, teachers, developed nations, developing nations etc.

In today’s world I would say doing business is much easier than it used to be earlier. All you might need is some good idea or even without it you could manage and scale up cost effectively with ease the simplest Idea to do business. Earlier I used to read about Indian Industrialists going countries acquiring brick and mortar companies and turning them around by just simple cost cutting. This seemed to me like some kind of magic these people possessed until we started thing on the same line. Probably we Indians have always been bought up with a thought to start and keep on continuing doing things with the optimal utilisation of resources. Predominantly I thing this skill comes to us naturally as we were all born in scarcity. Scarcity truly makes you thing to use the resources more efficiently. Today an overseas branch for us is feasible to us as we can manage most of the functionality like financials, logistics and everything almost except the sales guys to be stationed in the overseas branch. I can go on and on this topic.

Today the criminals are exposed to the same technology as what police does. In fact Police must encourage the use of technology to these kinds of elements but at the same time must know how to regulate and control these technologies. There have been ample examples of how enforcement agencies could get rock solid proof for these crimes which have been difficult to proof or even would have been difficult to commit. Just yesterday India could satisfy a long time demand of Pakistan to give ample proof which can stand in court of law on the Mumbai violence. This was majorly on the ground of the footprints left by the terrorists on the sands of technology. Worst even Gujarat police could crack on the terrorist purely on basis of analyzing the cell phone call pattern and data. Surely the technology provided them to find there needle in the haystack.

Today Governments can control their revenue much better. They have all there check posts, customs, sales tax, income tax etc all computerised and now they are supposed to link them all. I am sure the day will come when Govt will calculate your tax and send a invoice to you just like your internet service provider or your cell phone company does for you.

In today’s world I take out any aspect and find that there is a level playing field for everyone. I am sure in days to come it will be more so.
