Formation of Reliance Digital World
On return to India, as courtesy demanded I took the shields and certificates to MDA's office to share the pleasure and joy of company's achievements with him. He asked me one direct question!
Ramu, do you now realize your strength and values? Three years back, you said that you do not know the spelling for telecommunication but see what you have achieved!
But, with some other back ground at that time I was still morass He got annoyed and queried, what is wrong with you; why are you not enjoying the occasion? That forced me to bring out the facts about my pay scale, status in society &living conditions etc. On hearing that he was perplexed and immediately lifted the phone and contacted Mr V V Bhatt, that time HR chief of Reliance Corporate and enquired 'why this disparity issue have not been resolved yet! Ensure that is done today itself '.
After that when I returned to my office, there was a surprise message from VVB waiting for me!
His instruction to me was to develop a full fledged organisation chart with responsibilities and available personnel filling various positions so as to form full fledged company for GIS services, not only for Reliance Communications but to serve others also. As my confidants were full of energy and enthusiasm, they could develop that chart and report in matter of hours on the same day. The company was formed on 1st Nov.2003 as a private company under company law and registered.
We selected and christened it as Reliance Digital World and I was asked to head that set-up with job title Business Head. At the start, we had 48 employees spread all over India and balance manpower drawn from agencies to continue OSS /BSS services for Reliance Communication. Since it was formed under Company law, all statutory and legal requirement formalities were established and operated as an independent set-up but within Reliance premises. So we were servicing both Reliance Communications and BSES- a power distribution company in Mumbai which was taken over by Reliance. By that time,operations were streamlined, the functioning was smooth and our value in
GIS domain was growing day by day.
As GIS awareness and its utility functions usage in public was in early stages then, every Government department both at Delhi level and Maharashtra state level started utilizing our services for consultation. Even the local bodies like CIDCO and NMMC ((New Mumbai Municipal Corporation)used our expertise in land usage, infrastructure establishment, public gardens/park , water distribution network etc. DG Police Maharashtra used to share ideas for the city transportation network and signal establishments. Even the central Election Commission of India took our services for assembly constituency mapping and corresponding voter population statistics etc. booth wise. That took us to Education fraternity also. PadmaSri Dr Majumdar of Symbiosis contacted me through Mr Rajesh Mathur of ESRI,India and requested me to join the Board Of Governors for establishing a fresh curriculum named Geomatics . I was one of the person who participated in framing the syllabus and my team M/S Milind and Sanjay Shrivastava took classes on GIS at Pune.
