Thoughts behind Dazasya

I am really honored by the amount of encouragement which I am getting everyday for this initiative of mine. Things are going at a slow pace and am first trying to bring out the Vision and Mission statements with clarity for Dazasya.

When I started this initiative, I had two thoughts in mind:

1.      To create a platform for people to come together and work for a Cause.

2.      Should be a one-stop-shop for all Entrepreneurs to bring their ideas, brainstorm and work together with due contributions to society (in various ways).

Now, what do I mean by the above two statements and how can Dazasya add value when compared to many other existing organizations supporting similar cause?

A brief History

India is steadily becoming the fastest growing economy in the world. Today, everyone realizes the potential of our nation.  However, there is a lot more then just privatization and globalization to be a Super-Power nation. We will need to be more self-dependent and innovative to sustain this growth and ensure we be there not just in terms of taking back-office work but also being innovative and creative.

In my opinion, there are three key areas which we and our next generations need to work on constantly, not only to ensure India creates Knowledge Wealth, but also creates an eco-system which helps uplift the quality of living.

1.      HealthCare

2.      Education

3.      Innovation in constant loop

HealthCare – Access to Quality and affordable HealthCare is the most important. There are many challenges to this and I hope to provide my share of contributions through Dazasya.

Education – Will need to create a resource pool of various backgrounds to teach / share their knowledge in locations outside urban areas.

Innovation in constant loop – Provide support to ideas which can contribute towards uplifting the quality of life. 

Creating a Platform

United we stand, Independent we fall..

Quite a famous quote. All of us have some special interest in us which we would like to explore and work on. At times we meet like minded people and pursue our interests together and many other times, we just tend to ignore our thoughts.

Dazasya works to create a platform for individuals to come together with ideas, work collaboratively towards a common goal – This is the platform we create.

One-Stop-Shop

To the Entrepreneur, For the Entrepreneur, By the Entrepreneur.

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world today. We are becoming an house hold name for Innovation and Entrepreneurship and not to forget, we have already established ourselves for our service minds/culture.

80% of our population lives in rural/semi-urban areas of the country which lack exposure to various “knowledge resources” which unfortunately are limited to be accessible to urban population. There are many innovative thoughts and ideas which exist in this 80% of population which are lacking the exposure. If the existing 20% are contributing to this rapid growth of economy, just imagine if the remaining 80% also starts thinking of the same? Leave alone being a developed nation, we will be a Model Country in the next few years.

Dazasya aims to bridge the gap between the fortunate who have access to “knowledge resources” and the remaining who need access.

How do we do this?

We need well-wishers and passionate people, to bring to light new projects which we can help with, as a community and help the team/person who owns the idea to run it.

Example: Suppose you meet a person who has an idea and passionate to work or is currently working and is looking for mentor ship / access to resources, Dazasya as a team will attempt to provide the same.

How is this different from existing programs?

There are many great organizations and forums which are currently accessible to the 20% population. We will need to take similar kinds of forums to people who do not have access to these kinds of resources to explore their thoughts.

Will such forums work?

No. Just by making these forums accessible does not work.

Then, what should be done?

I have few thoughts with this and it would be great if you can share your thoughts to make this initiative bigger and better:

• Create a knowledge base on HealthCare, Education and Entrepreneurship.
• Spread the word and associate with various NGO organizations to
  • Organize learning sessions outside urban areas.
  • HealthCare Services.
  • Identify potential small scale innovations.  
• Create part-time volunteering opportunities for professionals to pursue their interests.

Vision Statement

I have come up with a simple vision statement for Dazasya….here it goes.

To create a platform to foster Service, Innovation and Entrepreneurship contributing to Quality of Life.

PS: I am still working on my logo design, your inputs are welcome.

Dazasya is Born

Dazasya – www.Dazasya.org.in is born on the 28 July 2007 at BarCamp Bangalore 4 – The Collectives Edition in and formally launched at the Startup’s Collective.

Dazasya (pronounce as Daasasya) in Sanskrit means “Service”.

Dazasya’s mission is to provide service to Society in any form possible and be a catalyst to foster Entrepreneurship and contribute to technology.

Society
Many of us are interested in providing some kind of service to Society and in someway or other, we do. Dazasya will help in brining like minded people together to work towards touching lives in anyway we can.

Technology
SofTReL (Software Testing Research Lab) was born in 2002 which works towards contributing towards Research and Development in Software Testing. We have worked on one open source project and on the similar lines would want to work towards contributing towards any other similar projects.

Entrepreneurship
There are organizations which bring budding and innovative ideas to the world by fostering Entrepreneurship. However, there is a great need for information and connection between the idea and market. Dazasya, works towards brining innovative ideas to shape and connect people behind the idea to the appropriate resources which could help make ideas a reality.

This is my first version of mission for Dazasya. I am sure, over the period of time, my ideas will mature and take further steps.

This mission will not and cannot be accomplished by myself and I definitely need helping hands. If you are interested in contributing in any way, please do write to me at hpudipeddi@hotmail.com.

I sincerely thank everyone who were present in the Startup’s Collective (I do not know and remember each name, I aplogise for it) for being there and blessing me.
