One early theory was that small mammals ate dinosaur eggs, thereby reducing the dinosaur population until it became unsustainable. Another theory was that dinosaurs’ bodies became too big to be operated by their small brains.
Considering the growth of large corporate and MNCs who are dominating almost all business in the entire world, I am tempted to compare them with Dinosaurs. These corporate have grown big by destroying local small businesses through their capacity to monopolize the consumer market using huge capital, big infrastructure and large workforce. This is more so in the Information technology and practically small software firms just cannot fight with these giants. They are struggling to get some small local customized jobs for their survival but are always under the threat of retrenchment of their skilled personnel due to hefty offers from bigwigs.
The development of mobile devices and cloud services however, have changed the scenario. Now it is not necessary to have to have large computer hardware or to own costly proprietary operating systems and software tools for undertaking software development projects of any size. Hence small groups and individuals also can undertake projects of any size.
Evolution of Freelance Service Agencies like Upwork, O-Desk, Guru, Freelancer, work-n-hire etc have played a great role in providing a platform for such groups and individuals to get work with fare competition.
The theory of small mammals eating dinosaur eggs, or small brains with big bodies of dinosaurs as the cause of their extinction may become applicable to Big IT companies as the individual freelancers and small groups may provide efficient, more innovative and economical solutions to problems which are generally awarded to big companies.
It is necessary however to build effective and responsive coordination between many diverse small groups and individual developers.
Dnyandeep Foundation ( https://dnyandeep.net) has started Free Lance Forum for building network of individual free lancers for building their career by co-operating with each other in training and sharing resources. This has a self help program which envisages internship with professionals on one to one basis which will give opportunity to learn practical knowledge from experts and Experts also will get assistance in building new projects and getting help from students in current projects in hand.
If this succeeds, it will be a new sustainable growing business with collective funding and benefits to all based on their contributions in carrying out the work.
The trainer and learner have no eligibility restrictions and it will be a free market where learner will decide what to learn, from whom to learn and at what cost and in what way. Thus it will be learner or customer driven business.
For those who wish to use this forum only to learn some topic or skill, Dnyandeep Infotech Pvt. Ltd., a company with more than 20 years of track record in Website and software development, can give experience certificate. This will be helpful to those, who wish to join big firms.
The participants i.e trainers and learners can form groups at will and get large projects from market.
If such centers get developed all over India in various fields through many different agencies, there will be real and permanent death of Dinosaurs
