2. Papamma: New-age target
Context setting: Village setting - Seenu & two
siblings - daily wage earning uncouth husband -
Papamma (married young & mother of three) –
passion to seize opportunity to better standard of
life - teacher’s house, sewing machine,
panchayat member, weekly cluster fair – Seenu
off to school!
Key considerations
» Rising aspirations & widening (and apparent) gap
» Migration of people, lifestyles, adaptive breed
» Commercial mandate and pressures to explore newer
markets
» Technology age (rapid adaptation & adoption)
» Changing human and family dictates due to change in
values & perceptions
3. Flat world – reality or myth?
Key facts
» Rising real and potential markets
» Phenomenal shifts in mindsets
» Paradigm under re-definition
» Sustained and guaranteed success depends on inclusive
growth
» Large scale process innovation (a mandate) in Financial,
regulatory & Governance, Corporate, Societal (at large)
landscapes
Flat world is partially a reality but has to be transformational
to be truly sustainable and managed for long-term.
Dangerous imperative: Criteria which has resulted in the
flat world may outgrow and outplay the same leading to
a collapse if not effectively managed!
4. Process architecture for sustainable flat-
world
A Framework involving:
» UN, WB, IMF, ADB, India Corporate can work out the
broad plan
» Involve local government representative (Panchayat
rep)
» No free-lunch! Will be lent money to work on Income
Generating projects (repayment and rejoice concept)
Horizontal pillars of support:
» Flatteners
» Existing development Vs developing areas
» Citizen groups (using Linked In, others)
» Groups scattered locally across India and assemble on
virtual platforms
» Performance management centralized with inputs from
various chapters

Editor's Notes
Allow me to set-context to all of you gathered here. This is a story about Seenu aged 6 years.... He is the eldest among 3 children in a caring yet underpriveleged family located in a village near Hyderabad. Father works in a field for daily wages... hardly anything substantial and yet manages to spend so much on alcohol... Papamma, married at very young age has to manage 3 children with hardly anything to provide to her children, put up with a drunk husband. She was all upbeat to an opportunity to work as a domestic help in the village school teacher's house albeit for a few bucks.
Papamma like many other village girls is skilled in one thing or the other.... but haven't had a chance or a platform to realize the true potential. Instead, she was meek, surrendering, depressed and dejected. Papamma observed the teacher's wife stitching on a sewing machine.... Papamma found it enthusing to suggest to teacher's wife on the design, color, and ways to improve the 'look and feel' of the clothing, etc., which impressed the teacher's wife. Noticing her interest, the teacher lent the sewing machine to Papamma... Papamma's work included a red-color shirt for Seenu and also some embroidery work for the teacher's wife as a token of her gratitude! Noticing her skill in embroidery the village panchayat head suggests her to take her artifacts to the weekly fair...
Now that she recognized an earning potential, she plans to enroll Seenu in a village school... This is a story of close to 30% of India's population.
India as is the world is poised to take on transformation to leverage the unique opportunity. Systemic framework to monitor the drivers of transformation and also manage them
