Pizza at home through credit cards

Dear All,

How many times have you come across a situation where you would order the pizzas for yourself and get into a situation where you have to rush to the nearest ATM to withdraw the money or so many time you must have felt 'I wish I could paid it through my credit card'.

So here you go, a device just like you have at the counters in almost all the retail shops or for that matter any shops where the credit cards are accepted. That Device anyways works through a satellite as a major requirement.

With technology reaching its peak and everything on the earth becoming possible - it should not be hard to design a device which would work on a battery(replacement to the power supply). I am not a tech savy but am sure just like the radio even this device can have an antenna which could connect to the servers from the satellite and work on the batteries.

So now the outlets just need to hand over the device to their delivery boys every time the order is placed. you deliver the Pizza along with the Best Experience the customer would have.

It may increase the cost but I am sure, the amount of sales this innovation would give to the pizza companies, will cover up for those costs involved.

So go ahead and design this idea!!

Cheers,

Auto Rickshaw meter with a bill

With corruption running high in the city, it is getting difficult to control anybody and everybody now.

I stay at Hosur Road and its been a year now and up till now I have not come across an auto guy who has hitched me without an extra charge. They have all been charging at least 40% to the actual cost.

Its time to get the system right and get this auto guys on track now. They are for public service not personal. Government has set a price and they should strictly follow it and not charge extra from strangers, innocent people and outsiders who are in our city BENGALOORU.

Every meter installed in the autos need to have a billing system, which will display the kilometers traveled with the passengers in an auto, time and date. Charges applied automatically.

This should then be submitted to one organized body, like every auto stand has a Leader, this leader then submits it to one universal body taking care of the autos running in the city.

I understand with the kind of system running in our country, it is a little difficult to install this. But NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. This can be tested.

Lets hope to see a change!!

Cheers!!

R & D Department for educational institute

It was my fortune to have attended the seminar on 'Bridging the gap between Academia and Corporate' at Oxford Management Institute, co - incidentally i am currently working on the same project and trying to find the solutions for it.

What i see is, in most of the institutes the faculties teach students to pass the exams not train them to pass the exam of life. Similarly, Students as well do not seem to put in much efforts to develop themselves for the future and just look to pass their university papers with good rank. Well, that's not sufficient folks!! What we need to do is prepare ourselves for the real challenge and real challenge is the corporate challenge.

The industrial visits, internship programs and various others do help students to gain some experience but then that's only for a short period. The initiation has to come from within the institute and

I propose the institutes to have R & D Department for each institutes. These department will look out for constant improvements in the educational fields. They will compare their institute with others not just in their country but also in the other countries which will keep them updated with the technological advancement and others.

They may keep themselves in contact with the corporate offices and know about their different requirements at different stages. After all the students studying management do so for the sake of adjusting with the different situations at the corporate levels.

So R & D is one of the options i propose to fill the gap between the corporate and the academia.

Cheers!!

Save Electricity and your costs

This would help the electric appliance companies and people who are very stringent about spending even pie.

Few weeks back i came across an TV Advertisement of A/C with built in stabilizer.

Most of the parts of India is in darkness and the usage of electricity is unorganized even in the high - tech cities. At the Max what is used is long hours back up inverter or generators, which;
a) Occupies space.
b) Consumes lot of electricity.

So when i saw that advertisement, what flashed into my mind was how about having a small inverter built inside the appliance itself, it could be any appliance say, Refrigerator, Computers, A/c, coolers etc. So when the instrument is on during the power availability with the output it is also recharging itself for the time when the power is not available.

When Titans can came up with the slimmest watch, Tata's - Nano Car and we also have technologies like Nano Ram and others, to me this doesn't seem a difficult task. So guys go ahead, the idea is put forward at no cost at all.

Cheers!!

Charge when you are on charge

Background:
Today, i was traveling to various areas of Bangalore city with my Laptop. Till afternoon when i had finished my meeting with 3 of my clients the laptop was shining and bright with some charge left in the battery. It somehow gave me a back up charge for approximate 3 hours.

But then when on my way to Jaynagar from Malleshwaram, i suddenly realize I am running short of charge in my battery and i have no option of either charging the battery again or replace the battery.

Note: I am sure many of you who travel frequently for various business meets would have found themselves in such a situation and end up feeling helpless about it.

So what next? Do we have a solution for this?

Yes, we certainly do and why not? I feel if you are innovative and on the verge of looking out for distinctive things and questioning everything that you come across, you are sure of getting a solution for everything around.

Technology has made people access their broadband internet service when they are boarded on train, traveling through cities and anywhere a human could reach. All this is provided in the form of a device which is very similar to 'Pen Drives'.

to those of you who are wondering how does this small device functions, please refer to the below link:
http://www.content4reprint.com/computers/data-recovery/pen-drive-how-did-it-come-about.htm

So the idea which i came across was how about building a similar device to charge your laptop after its battery expires. It would work same as the other battery chargers or emergency light may work. Charge it at it your work place or your home and carry it in you pocket while traveling.

  • This helps you in getting rid of the tension.
  • It reduces your bag's weight (You don't have to carry a charger anymore).
  • It would be just like any other rechargeable devices.

Another idea which could make the life and work easier for the professionals and people to whom carrying laptop is very essential.

Cheers!!

Pizza Delivery Model

This is my first blog. I am sure i would not reach many people but am sure somewhere somebody to whom this would really matter would read it. 'CII - Creativity, Ideas and Innovation' the title speaks for itself and the title for this blog "Delivery model" would only mean, i have some innovative idea to make stuff easier for the customers and also the sales persons.

Dominos claims to deliver its pizza service within half an hour from the time of order. I thought of giving them some competition and not just competition but serious competition. Service model completely redefined. 'How about delivering the product in just Ten minutes?.

How is it possible?
The pizza's base and its ingredients are kept ready at the center and once the order is placed they just assemble the parts and heat it and send it.

The same task can be performed when you are actually traveling towards your customer. Use a mobile van which are installed at various important points, once you get an order intimate your van and during the travel time perform the task of assembling and heating inside the van itself.

So folks, this is one of the innovative thought which came across my mind. This would certainly help the companies speed up their delivery process, increase on quality, provide better service at the doors of the customers and also feed people within a comparatively shorter time.

Cheers!!
