MOVE OUT WHATSAPP. ARATTAI IS HERE. From Zoho, India.
******************************
Govt of India is already moving to Zoho, the local desi software, from Microsoft in an attempt to push MIGA (Make India Great Again because we were great for straight 10,000 years not 300). Already our central IT minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw switched over to Zoho office suite and set the trend. Slowly but steadily the nation is to follow.

Who is running the silicon valley in America. Without H1b no Elon Musk, no Sundar Pichchai, no Satya Nadella, nobody out there in America. Imagine retaining such a talent in India not doing charity to America. Indian parents sell property/pledge property to send their kids to the US for their masters or research programme. Fees could be over 100,000 $ already leave alone the living expenses. Not everyone can find in-campus jobs to sustain themselves. It is illegal to take up out-of-campus jobs. One US$ = nearly 90 INR . So imagine what a sacrifice Indian parents are doing to send their children to the US. Finally when the children get their H1b, they are going to buy house in the US not in India. They are going to invest in the US not India. Indian children are well bred, disciplined kids. Not spoilt like the regular American. So why should Indian kids now go to the US at all. Japan is inviting Indian kids for their masters. Germany offers tuition waiver 100%. UK, Australia, everyone is throwing red carpet to have Indian kids for masters and give them PR (equal to green card). If there is no job guarantee , there is no need for Indian kids to invest so many thousands of dollars in the US. Next year will see 90% drop in Indian kids going to the US for higher studies that some American universities or departments would have to close permanently.
Thank you President Trump for making India realize our potential. Slowly we want to ease out Google, Microsoft, Amazon everything from India and replace everything american with homegrown Indian. Already we had Flipkart, Jabong, Myntra etc., before Amazon came to us. I am still an Amazon customer – for the only reason that my future generations are going to be American. I care for America but my friends have forsaken the American brands already. People stay away from Mcdonald and don’t get Pepsi or Coke anymore. I have never seen such a public anger in India before, for America. But this is all for good. It will help India become more self sufficient and self reliant.
If America levies 100% tariff on medicine imports from India, again loss is theirs. Already I have seen how medication is unbelievably expensive in the US. My heart goes out to the middle class families who will have to go through tough times in near future.
As for me, I use only the free Excel and Word versions of Microsoft that come with ad. I was planning to buy later the package this year, but I will now buy Zoho, the Indian version instead. Thank you Trump ji for helping me make up my mind.
But I will continue to buy American products because of family connection. Other Indians have no such a binding reason to shop for anything American.
Not yet moved over to Arattai from Whatsapp. But looking forward to. Arattai in Tamil literally means ‘banter.’ Arattai is seeing thousands of downloads already and is replacing Whatsapp by gusto. Many of us have moved out of Facebook already. Facebook is out of fashion!
President Trump is the reason we Indians got GST cut from 18% to 5%. I shopped well this Navratri/Diwali season thanks to the price drop. Trump ji is the reason India is looking forward to MIGA. ‘Atmana Nirbhar Bharat’ ‘self reliant India’ is the election motto of BJP/PM Modiji for last 15 years. Nothing new. Finally it is truly implemented now. Thanks to President Trump India has diversified trade and is NOT suffering the tariff impositions. Even H1b fee hike is a blessing in disguise, the best gift from Trump ji to India. Thank you Donald Trump Ji, you are giving bitter pill to India to cure our malaise and make us strongest. You are the best. If not for you, we would never be adapting to Zoho this way. We would never have had the GST cut that has gone down well with the masses. Already BJP could be winning half the next elections. You made it easy and simple for us.
I wish the Indian enterprises all the success in future. Let us do it one step at a time. Let all of us prosper. Even American farmers hurting is bad. Humanity is one. Nobody should suffer that’s all.
