Questions
1.
Where did the idea for Tranquilmoney come from?
The idea was to finance healthcare receivables, and it seemed to fit. But historically,
my father’s grandfather and my mother’s grandfather both owned banks, named
Travancore National Bank and Quilon Bank, in the independent State of Travancore
(never a part of the British Enpire.) TRANQUIL was the code the Post Office
assigned to them when they merged their banks to become the most powerful bank
in non-Mughal India.
2.
What does your typical day look like and how do you make it
productive?
I live in Manhattan, and moved my office to my co-founders’ building which also
houses a day care school in South Orange, NJ. Tranquilmoney’s 100% subsidiary is
MM Imagine Technologies P Ltd located in Madras, India. Almost 12 hours away.
Long before the current COVID-19 pandemic, we ran multiple 8-hour shifts. Some
were combinations of two 4-hour shifts done 12 hours apart. When it became
necessary for us and our Physician Practice clients to work from home, we
already had the Infrastructure and Organization in place for not just me, but my
entire staff and my clients and their entire staff work from home.
I wrote this little manual on working from home for everyone to be maximally
productive, yet completely engaged in home life: https://www.funk-capitalism.com/search/label/Tips%20on%20working%20from%20home
3.
How do you bring ideas to life?
I first test the targets’ needs. Put yourself in their shoes. A physician may
not even be able to travel to his own Practice. Patients are worried about
going out of their homes to see their family physician. So, I build a solution.
Then, since I am not a Sales & Marketing person, I hire a handful of
companies to manage the sales and marketing in various geographies and for each
type of illness.
I keep the Branding function to myself.
4.
What is one trend that excites you?
The trend of people realizing that AI is fallible. Everyone knows they are not
perfect and sometimes make mistakes. But it is mathematically provable (via
Kurt Gödel’s 2nd Incompleteness Theorem) that all Knowledge, whether in a human brain
or an AI implementation, is incomplete. This incompleteness necessarily leads
to the fallibility of both real people and Artificial Intelligence. And it will
be so for all eternity.
But the solution is not for the future. It is already available from the
ancient past. The solution is COLLABORATION. Even ancient societies realized
that no single individual could get things done. But if you get a group of completely
independent individuals, each with complete liberty to think as and when they
want, then a solution can be found.
The American management specialist W. Edwards Deming taught the entire Japanese
corporate world after the war how to use American Management. American
management is about people and numbers. Each person manages a Total and periodically
checks Line-Items that are the Totals of the people reporting to them. That was
called the General Electric Way in his time. After his time, it became known as
the Toyota Production System, or Total Quality Management. But the terminology
caused a bit of confusion. The Way or System that Deming was training companies
to follow was about the Quality of Management. Today, almost everyone outside
Japan thinks that TQM is about the Management of Quality. I choose to call it
Totals Management, and it is still all about the people, and being able to train
any person from an IT genius to an entry-level nobody that your CEO told to
hire, into becoming an American Manager.
5.
What is one habit of yours that makes you more productive as
an entrepreneur?
Living in the present at all times, wherever I am.
6.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Rock and roll is fun, but do not let alcohol and drugs take over your
consciousness. If it does, these are time-tested ways of taking back control of
yourself, both synthetic and natural.
7.
Tell us something that is true that almost nobody agrees
with you on.
All knowledge fallible. The context in which it seems true always changes.
8.
As an entrepreneur what is the one thing you do over and
over and recommend everyone else do?
Develop automated training programs, but train real live trainers to use them
to train others.
9.
What is one strategy that has helped you grow your business?
Please explain how.
Clear Thinking. You do not have to be a genius or highly skilled in some field.
Just talk to the geniuses and highly skilled people and remove the complexity
of what they say to you. Keep it simple, perhaps by pretending for a while that
you are a simpleton.
10.
What is one failure you had as an entrepreneur, and how did
you overcome it?
I hired a relative to handle my Sales & Marketing. He ended up stealing my largest
client for my competitor. I forgave him by telling myself that it is just that
he is mentally retarded. I gave my client a couple of years to notice that my competitor
was losing him $150 million a year. Their COO called me and asked me to submit
a proposal to come back, although he will have to wait for the six-month
termination notice he signed on to give my competitor.
11.
What is one business idea that you are willing to give away
to our readers? (this should be an actual idea for a business, not business
advice)
Job Skills Training
12.
What is the best $100 you recently spent? What and why?
(personal or professional)
Doubling my monthly subscription to a company that checks lists of prescription
pharmaceutical drugs to ensure that there are no combinations of drugs that
have an adverse impact on the patient.
13.
What is one piece of software or a web service that helps
you be productive? How do you use it?
Well, my very own custom code generator, nick-named Ava, that uses Coffee
Cup Site Designer and Adobe Create Cloud, to create a beautiful UI
and UX for a highly functional set of back-end modules of code, that always ran
perfectly, so I have named it Avaran.
14.
What is the one book that you recommend our community should
read and why?
15.
What is your favorite quote?
"Life is what happens when you're busy
making other plans." -John Lennon
Key learnings: Write up 3-5 bullet points summarizing the key learnings from
your interview. This information should not be written in first-person or be
self-congratulatory in any way or shape. What is the most valuable information
gleaned from your interview? These key learnings will go at the bottom of your
interview and will be used to promote your interview via social media. Here is
a good example of well-written key learnings.
The key point for the future of healthcare is that it needs to make heavy use
of the latest hardware, software, and all other technology innovations such as
wireless instruments for measuring patient metrics.
Healthcare Technology companies need to “get vertical.” Not every companu can
learn everything about every medical specialty. We need to network with each other.
If you know
someone who we should interview on IdeaMensch, let us know! Tell us who they
are, what are they doing, and their email address. We will reach out to see if
they want to be part of this community.
