India has serious problem that needs a solution. I have a unique, low cost device that addresses that problem directly.
I am therefore looking for a smart entrepreneur who will gain substantially by bringing this product to the Indian Market.
I noticed your Entrepreneur Blog Site on Google. I hope you can assist me to establish a new India-Australian Business, by providing a forum of matching new products / technologies with your entrepreneur clientèle base.
I am looking for an Indian Manufacturer/Entrepreneur, of good standing and reputation, to produce and market my product into the Indian Market, under license or other equitable arrangement.
The Product
The Indian Economy uses paper rupee banknotes of various denominations. These are extremely easy to copy digitally using readily available computer systems. Criminal Counterfeiting therefore poses a growing problem for the Indian People.
See “India Today” Feb 16 2009 cover story
“Fake currency the new threat”
http://indiatoday.intoday.in/index.php?option=com_content&Itemid=1&task=view&id=27392§ionid=30&issueid=92&page=archieve
My patented device uses a unique but simple optical filter mechanism, instantly identifying digitally produced fake banknotes from real banknotes. Unlike expensive, clumsy, cumbersome, power consuming alternatives, this is a convenient, passive, low cost, portable device (it does NOT use power, batteries or other consumables) and is therefore suitable for even the humblest “Man on the street”.
In it’s current form the device is identical to a standard plastic credit card, where the whole card is either transparent, or at least part has a clear window.
Having successfully manufactured a similar device for US$ and the Euro, I have now developed a new version specifically for the Indian Rupee.
Apart from it’s inherent value as device for halting counterfeit banknotes in their tracks, the form of this device and its low cost lends itself as a corporate branding medium, with excellent repeat market vector exposure.
The type of manufacturer I am seeking would be one that already manufactures actual credit cards in India, but who also has the ability to promote the product into the Indian market
I await your reply and look forward to doing business in India.
Hello chaps,
We are a group of Indian professionals across the world looking to help Indian businesses raise funds from foreign investors. We mostly focus on large project based funding since most of our investor network is comprised of large fund houses. However, recently we have had some interest from a few Angel investors looking to make small sized investments if they find the ‘right’ kind of venture. Hence this post.
I have been following Venturewoods for several months but this is my first post here. I hope to hear from several of you at indiabourse at gmail dot com.
Good luck.
