Unfortunately most of the IT biggies are more worried about meeting quarterly guidance estimates. CSR is more seen as PR exercise. malesh

I guess the big IT firms need to take a project up as corporate social responsibility to help set up portals for small traders. I am sure they have the best IT brains in town and if they could spare a few hours, they can make a world of difference to many in India. Instead of waiting for government subsidy and tax cuts, the private sector in form of individuals need to take an active participation. If technology is not put into good use for the development of the country who else will? Interesting post.

I put up a site for her and she got quite a few enquiries through that site. http://www.chakkarapani.com/tanjoreart Now, I am guilty of not changing her contact details as she has shifted from Pondy to Chennai. Just in case, you are interested in the paintings, let me know and I can put in touch with her. PK

Never! It is just that they don't have proper guidance. Again, its like "who ties the bell?" syndrome cropping up again. Saravana Stores' properitor was no MBA or a big business tycoon but his retail business as inspired Big Bazaar (as told by Big Bazaar's properitor to Economic Times). So its not that they can't do but do not have proper leads. No PK, I am not under estimating them. Never! It is just that they don’t have proper guidance.

If only they understand the intricacies of the internet better, they will fight tooth and nail with the big retailers IMHO.
