Just imagine

Thoughts on what should be possible really soon

Phil Wise

$1,570

The median Indian worker earnt $1570 in 2013.

About 1 billion of them are about to get internet access:

  • 150m internet users in 2013
  • Growing at 27% year-on-year
  • 1.2 billion people total

Most will get access via a smart phone, with capabilities similar to my Nexus 4

Suspend disbelief for a second and imagine the existence of an app that allows someone in rural India (or Indonesia, or Pakistan) to earn $1/hour

Half a billion people better off

$10B market opportunity?

I'm not starting a charity

Want to find something valuable these people can do

So no clicking adverts/porn/etc

I simply can't believe that a HD screen, camera, microphone, quad core GHz processor and Internet isn't enough to make someone productive

Together we are going to figure it out.

Interested?

How do we make someone semi-skilled but remote valuable?

I'm forming a group to discuss this. If you are interested, sign up for the discussion.
