An exploration of practical technology solutions for the rural Indian population as well as people in the lower-end of the economic ladder in metros. As an example, India leap frogged wireline phones and went straight to the cell phone revolution. A direct impact has been that mobile phones and SMS have already changed how commerce is being conducted in farming communities as well as by small businesses in cities. As an entrepreneur focused on technology and communications it would be great to see what others are envisioning in these areas.
One issue that intrigues me is the ownership of the state.
In the US, it’s a matter of pride to say “I’m a tax-paying citizen”. In India, tax evasion is a matter of pride. Consequently, Indian democracy is authority without accountability - the majority who elect the ruling party do not pay for the facilities they use.
And the direct tax net remains less than 3% of the population. Can’t we mobilise resources there?
