Q. What is the purpose of this venture ?

A. Retired Sikhs - whether Men or Women , come from a variety of professions like - Defence , Lawyers , Doctors , Teaching , Banking , Bureaucrats etc . Once they retire , there is very little scope for them to utilize the practical and valuable experience which they have earned in their lifetime and it simply goes waste just because they are retired . Now , once they upload their details, they are available all over the world , 24 hrs a day throughout the year as someone may need their Advise , Consultancy , Part time job , Full time job, Business opportunities or Social work which keeps them active and the concerned person / company may contact you directly after seeing your experience and capabilities in the city you are living I am trying to link the Retired Sikhs on this global platform as in 2007 there will be 42 million internet users in India , 2008 - 52 Million and 2010 - 100 Million internet users. As of Nov, 2007, 1.262 billion people use the Internet worldwide according to Internet World Stats.Imagine, when experienced Retired Sikhs are connected with 1.262 billion internet users worldwide, there will be someone who will appreciate the practical experience and capabilities which you have and will reach you directly if he requires your services.
