New business plan???

Spoiler Alert: Crazy thought
Few days back, I had a weird thought about a business idea. We all Indians know that corruption is wide spread in India and it is often cumbersome to deal with authorities and government officials.
How would it if we have a company which would do the job of interacting with authorities for you? I know, I know, this is not a new thing.
So the differentiating factor is - this company would guarantee a transparent business with no corruption whatever. This company would act as an interface between the consumer (big organizations, NGOs) and the authorities.
New regulations like RTI (Right To Information) could be helpful here. But running such a company would be a real pain which is why it would need a substantial change in though process and business logic.
This company would need hard bound approaches in order to deal with govt authorities which need to be fool proof and be completely transparent.

Think different!!

I often think you need to think on different lines to come up with something innovative, something useful. I am not inventing a new thing. And I don't know the definition of Innovation. But this is how I usually define innovation - find out something that is based on some underlying invention (fact). So your innovative idea could be an old thing but the way you do it is important.
I like to think on different lines. Basically the problem with our approach is there is very little room to think on your own or most of the people go with the flow rather than thinking it through.
So now onwards, I will post all the crazy ideas that strike me. It doesn't matter (at least to me :P ) if they are useful or total crap. I firmly believe this is the way your though process evolves.
And through small things, you can create a big picture.
