Overview of Sessions

Nano and micro technology is coming of age with myriad potential applications and all encompassing business and trade opportunities. The applications are in nanostructures, nano composites, semiconductors, nano-bio materials, products and devices, cosmetics, automobiles, agriculture, petrochemicals, defense, aerospace, electronic packaging, solar power, energy, entertainment and leisure.

India has already secured a leadership position in information technology, BPO and SW development. However, India missed the boat in semiconductors, electronic components, computer and telecom hardware and entertainment / gaming hardware. Indian can not afford to miss the boat in nano and micro technologies, which have immense major multidisciplinary and multi-vertical impact potential. The countries which master the micr – nano revolution will be in the driving seat as the most developed nation for the decades and centuries.

India can first put its best step forward by quickly securing a leadership position in nanio and micro technology modeling, simulation and design disciplines, by benefiting from its computer savvy knowledge worker resources. At the same time, India should forge forward in developing an industrial infrastructure that is built on the convergence of material engineering, chemical engineering, computer modeling and simulation, bioengineering, semiconductor and energy engineering. A national level networking and strategic alliances between the national laboratories in physical and bio sciences, mechanical, automobile and aeronautical engineering, agricultural engineering, health and pharmaceutical sciences is very important, enabled by a national nano-micro engineering laboratory fully reflecting the required constituent science and engineering faculties. At the same time, the R&D, modeling, product prototyping, manufacturing engineering and the supporting supply chain ecosystem should give rise to a plethora of small and medium scale industries and ably supported by Indian conglomerates.

Environmental, health and safety, hazardous materials management and other industrial and occupational compliance should be watched in every step of the nano-micro industrial infrastructure development. Independent national laboratories with the support of related small and medium scale businesses should be developed, with a specialized focus on fragility of nano material impact to the societies health and the environment.

This session will focus on developing a common understanding of the road map to such a leadership for India in the nano and micro industry development. The panel would increase the awareness of the attendees from small businesses, national labs, academia and the large companies in this area and initiate formation of collaborative teams and strategic alliances, to the extent that the attendees should be able to create a Ind0-US nano collaborative initiative with its periodic meetings and venture alliance creation.

India has made great advances in using wireless technologies. In terms of growth rate and varieties of applications it has become a front runner from an insignificant telecom network it used to have until the mid-nineties. It is now believed that Mobile audio and video could be the "killer applications" that may drive the information ecosystem over the next several years. This may also continue to catalyze product innovation and may shape the way the economies in both India and the US will be impacted. The following items will be discussed:

Session Coordinators: Ms. Yog Bharghava, Ms. Pavithra Kenjige, Ms. Anju Chopra

Women business owners are generating wealth and expanding the U.S. National and International economies. As of 2006, over 40 percent of businesses in the United States are women-owned, and they generate almost $2 trillion in annual revenues, according to statistics from the Small Business Administration. This percentage is getting higher as women start businesses at twice the rate of men.

There are the complex issues affecting Women Entrepreneurs, including Creation of a viable Business Model, Communication Skills, Technology management, access to Business Resources and Networks, and balancing
Family Life, among other issues.

InformationTechnologies: Leveraging on past successes to leap forward for world leadership

Information Technology is a mature market in India. India is considered as a leader in information technologies, especially as an outsourced service provider in design and implementation. Even though India has been the chosen R&D location by many global software leaders, much progress is desired to position Indian enterprises to develop new software and enterprise IT platforms, supported by the strong SMBs burgeoning in India in the recent years. The speakers and panelists will address ways to enhance strategic alliances between companies in USA and India, forge ahead to develop innovative software and IT platforms to position India as the leader in software R&D also.

Franchising Opportunities: Leveraging on Successes in USA to extend to India

The phenomenal success of the people of Indian origin in business worldwide is a testament to their high level of entrepreneurial spirit and acumen. As more and more people of Indian origin are considering going into business, in India, in the US, in Canada and elsewhere, franchising offers a great potential for harnessing our natural abilities by the utilizing well-tested business ideas and processes, whether one wants to go into a large business or small.

Choosing from among the plethora of franchising opportunities and, especially, choosing the right franchisor can be a daunting task for anybody. This is so because of the availability of franchising opportunities in a very wide range of industries, the vast variation in the amount of investment involved and, most importantly, the risks that need to be guarded against. Franchising has earned considerable wealth to the vast number of people, but it also takes hard work and determination.

Why franchising?

What to expect?

Profile of the PanelistS

Mr. Nitin Shah

Mr. Shah will make a presentation on the franchisees’ point of view. 67% of everything common people buy is from some type of franchise whether it is the morning coffee from Starbucks or Dunkin Donut or lunch at nearby Chilis. People worldwide spend hundreds of billion dollars on purchasing good or services from some type of franchise outlet.

Invented in America, franchising is unique way of entering in business. Franchising is replication of franchisor’s success story by franchisees. Franchising has made the American dream come true for multitude of entrepreneurs by preventing the mistakes others have made and by making available knowledge, marketing support, instant brand recognition and credibility. Mr. Nitin Shah will help understand how to decide going into franchise and choose the industry and the franchisor. He will also discuss how to prepare for it, what to expect and how to avoid pitfalls.

He will discuss developments in the field of franchising that may be of interest specifically to this Convention’s participants and discuss emerging opportunities for Indian Americans.

Mr. Koch will provide an overview of franchising and how it works. The phenomenal success of the people of Indian origin in business worldwide is a testament to their high level of entrepreneurial spirit and acumen. As more and more people of Indian origin are considering going into business, in India, in the US, in Canada and elsewhere, franchising offers a great potential for harnessing our natural abilities by the utilizing well-tested business ideas and processes, whether one wants to go into a large business or small.

Mr. Koch will provide an overview of franchising and how it works. will discuss franchising opportunities in a very wide range of industries, given their size of operations, the vast variation in the amount of investment involved and, most importantly, the risks that need to be guarded against. He will present the trends in growing and shrinking business sectors as the foretellers of attractive and not so attractive opportunities for Indian Americans to choose from. He will also discuss worldwide franchise names that are suitable for having business partners/relatives in India become franchisees.

Mr. Manoj Tripathi

Mr. Tripathi will make an extensive presentation from the franchisors’s point of view. Survival of the franchise units of established franchise systems is substantially higher from independent small enterprises. 4 out of 5 franchise units survive the first 5 years upon start-up, while only 1 out of 5 independent start-ups survive. Franchising has also earned considerable wealth to the vast number of people, but it takes hard work and determination. Every franchisor wants to show a good survival rate for its own franchisees. For this reason, franchisors also have to be choosy. Mr. Tripathi will discuss what a franchior looks for in a franchise applicant. He will discuss what a franchisor offers and strategies for succeeding in franchising. Mr. Tripathi will also discuss what it takes to start your own franchise.

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences’ Center for Distance Health (CDH) is a technology-based partnership that directly offers telemedicine, continuing medical and health education, public health education, and evaluation research through interactive video throughout Arkansas. The Center for Distance Health represents the culmination of telemedicine and distance health technology expertise, with directors and stakeholders who have been instrumental in developing telehealth initiatives in Arkansas. Recognizing the potential to collaborate telemedically with the country of India, leaders from the CDH met with India’s then-current president Kalam earlier this year to discuss the possibility of a technology partnership.

Although India and Arkansas are far removed in proximity, healthcare statistics and demographic composition are similar. Here are just a few of the parallels:

India’s rural population comprises 72.2% of the country’s total population.
Arkansas’ rural population comprises 43.2% of the state’s total population.

India’s infant mortality rate is 54.63 deaths / 1000 live births.
Arkansas’ infant mortality rate is 8.4 deaths / 1000 live births.

India’s percent of population below the poverty line is 22%.
Arkansas’ percent of population below the poverty line is 15.6%.

India’s percentage of low birthweight infants is 30%.
Arkansas’ percent of low birthweight infants is 9.3%.

While some of India’s healthcare statistics are more significant than those found in Arkansas, both Arkansas and India are facing similar healthcare problems among a similar, rural population. The Center for Distance Health at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences proposed to collaborate with India’s healthcare facilities, technologists, and providers to draw upon each other’s expertise and resources to develop a quality-driven telehealth experience for all participating providers and patients. Telehealth infrastructure expansion, collaborative education, and telehealth direct services are all feasible possibilities achieved through distant health technologies.

Expansion of telehealth services in India would address the educational and direct healthcare needs of the country, while also expanding Arkansas’ telehealth and educational resources through this close partnership. This partnership would benefit India and Arkansas alike, bridging the distance barrier in consultation and education and providing both partners a rewarding collaboration in all areas of medicine.
