Business partnering

Now don't tell me of all the websites freely available you found this one to get some business knowledge. (Well, may be at the end of this post you will become an entrepreneur, but thats a different issue )

Introduction:

Shaadi.com - Does that ring a bell on what I am writing about. It would have, considering the fact that it is a very difficult task to find greater "Bulb" than me.

"COM" it is. All of us turn into entrepreneurs when we start dealing with this whole business of matrimony. Do you agree with me? Let us try looking at the business process.

Business Decision:

Is this the appropriate time to start the business ?

Output :

---------> NO ---------> Shut up and study! :D

---------> YES -------->Lets become entrepreneurs :(.



Business process:

Stage 1

Data collection

• Name ( Who cares! May be numerologists will)
• DOB ( Decides if it is an uncle or a friend)
• Family members ( Of course you need to talk business with them!)
• Job and Salary ( Deciding factor for future investments)
• Gotram, Nakshatram and Kundali ( I think all businesses start on a "supposed to be" auspicious day under "supposed to be" auspicious conditions)
• Phone numbers and mail ids ( for initiation of business negotiations)

This can be outsourced to agencies that work only during humanly hours.

Stage 2

Filtering of data

• Min Max bound on DOB for long term business partnering [ Uncles may reach heavenly abode soon! :( ]
  
• Maximization of expected revenues based on job and salary ( I bet the shopping rate of girls needs that!)
• Max bound on number of family members ( Similar to our nations objective - Lower the population, the better! :D Mera Bharath Mahan)
  
• Maximization of points in Kundali matching. [When unknown is an ocean you tend to believe corporation water :)].
  

Stage 3

Contact initiation

The conversation goes something like this.

*BOC*.

Mami/Mama (Ladies first!) no 1 : Is it Mr ***** ? [that was not a bad word. I just bulbed recalling some name. :D It could be a bad word in the later stages. Not during contact initiation].


Mami/Mama no 2 : Yes....

Mami/Mama no 1: I got your contact from something.com/ something services/ some arbit person and I would like to talk regarding an alliance that I propose.


Mami/Mama no 2 : Why don't you email the horoscope and photos? We can talk after that.

*EOC*.


Stage 4

Data transfer through electronic means

Hello,

Attached are the photo, horoscope and biodata of my daughter Goda.D.R (for example).


Regards,

Mami/Mama



Stage 5

Data Analysis by the partnering company

Thats a black box to me. So don't ask!

Stage 6

Response

Let me show you some examples here.

Example 1

Mami/Mama,

We have received the horoscope and the photo. We'll take it up further and get back to you.

Regds,

Mami/Mama


Cycle time ----> infinity

Example 2

Dear Mami/Mama

Very Sorry. We are looking for a girl more than 5.5" height as my son's height is 6.1".

All the best for your daughter.

Thanks and Regards,

**** ( NO disclaimers here)

WT*

OK, We shall analyze this in a later post.

Example 3

Dear Mami/Mama

We are happy to inform you that the horoscopes have matched and we would like to meet your family soon.

Awaiting your response

Mami/Mama


Stage 7

Meeting Conference

Agenda of the conference

• The delicious Upma/Coffee combo table service. [Caution: Buffets are considered more of an insult than informality].
• Formal inquiries
  
• Wide smiles. [Reminds me of Chandler's work laugh]
• Presentation of previous annual results and future forecasts of performance.
• Expectation review
• Arrival at consensus on date of future communication

Stage 8

Future communication

Will tell you how it is when that happens. :D

Stage 9

Sign of contract

Some people call it engagement. You take pics and also flaunt your deal by inviting people who are more bothered about grub than you. So better serve good grub for good publicity.

Stage 10


Start of business and End of business too :)
