Preventative health care

Cross subscription health service where we pay a monthly fee for unlimited access to doctors it's heavily technology-enabled where pharmacy lab tests are integrated and we always have access to text based and chat based medical advice I believe this is like having a personal doctor always with you with in-home care and also access to doctors at our fingertips this project is not only about during but this is also about preventative measures like it focuses heavily on preventative healthcare rather than curing it is heavily technology-enabled where the weight the vitals are tracked through technology as opposed to doctors electronic health records where we have to go annually to see a doctor and it's written in charts have to see if India has updates for projects like this

Access to equity markets for Indian consumers

In India, people do not invest in equities one due to lack of trust and another reason is they don't know where to start. However in US people even with limited savings are invested in equity markets. There is access to consumer-level products like betterment which are robotic advisors. Have to investigate whether people have an appetite for products like a robotic advisor. Another flavor of this idea would be to target high net worth individuals who are not exposed to the equity market or the individuals who are already exposed to the equity market but do not have access and transparency provided for by platform like Versaquant. 

School

The idea is to establish a school that unrelated Lee high earning people in the growing part of the Hyderabad. 

How to build personal brand image?

1. Create an impressive online image. At least, remove anything which might have a negative impact on the image which is trying to project for example if you aspire to be an actor do not have a profile that highlights you as an engineer or a technician.
2. Have any area of expertise and share it with the people. The most effective way would be to create a one-hour webinar and half an hour webinar. Present it to as many groups as possible. The key is not to make a new presentation every time. Have one talk which can be reused. I was personally thinking about creating a web and R on self-directed 401 K which can which enables people to raise projects money for projects in emerging markets. Present this webinar at various Indian groups.

Crowd-sourcing, Wikinomics, many names one to principle. In my words this means, decentralizing the effort, engage expertise from non-traditional sources and solicit micro-contributions from large numbers.

Social retail experience:Idea..[TODO]

Here is my problem. I don't like to shop and even when I do I get pretty indecisive about the style color and fit. Shopping is a tedious experience for me. Yes, it is for most non metro sexual men.

So how can we get the social collaborative experience of shopping into the physical stores? When we shop online its pretty straight forward, we share the links online and then post it to our social networks where its super simple to get the feedback. There are also some great tools like the http://webcamsocialshopper.com/ where they try to recreate dress room experience online.

But how can we take the social experience to the shop floor, more of a reverse integration. Can we offer some social platform for the shoppers to be able to recreate the shopping experience on the floor?

How can we do it now with the current status quo?

1. Walk into the shop
2. Select a shirt
3. Try it on 
4. Click a pic
5. Send it to friends and wait for response.

Pretty straight forward nothing wrong. But some how it all sounds a bit crude to me. Here is what I would like to see. 

1. Walk into a store
2. Select a shirt
3. Open the app (Chance for the retailer here?)
4. Scan the QR code
5. Which post it to my group for counsel
6. Get the comments
7. Try the top ones
8. Send a pic. 
9. Voila buy the top one..

[Explanation] What is the goal of Quora credits?

I answered this question on Quora, it has been a while and given my limited understanding of working of currency and economics. Here is my take on the topic. You can find other answers here on Quora

Its just like currency, Imagine a world where you can print unlimited money i.e. where everything is free. It would not be self sustainable. Everything has a cost associated with it i.e. No free Beer in this world. To make an ecosystem which regulates itself internally, like Quora does there should be a limiting factor. This can be external like moderators, what yahoo did. Internal like Stack overflow/Quora. When every action is associated with a cost with limiting resources, people tend to (atleast rationally speaking) will use this in a most optimized way (what is most useful for them). The system becomes self regualted...
