Henry Taub and Automatic Data Processing Inc.
04/05/2011
ADP was founded by Henry Taub. It had its first offices over a Patterson, New Jersey, diner. Taub was a CPA working at an accounting firm when he saw how important it was to get the paychecks out on time, and realized that this task could be better handled on an outsourcing basis. He took up the payroll tasks for companies at a time when companies were not so willing to share payroll information. It was also the time when the large IBM mainframe computers were introduced and ADP ordered these computers in 1961. Today 31 million payroll checks use ADP services.

Lighter banking regulation in the U.S. compared to the stricter regulation proposed in Britain- 2011-2012
04/07/2011
The structural separation of investment banking and trading activities of banks from deposit taking activity, that is proposed by the Independent Commission on Banking in Britain. This is different from the Volcker Rule in the U.S., which sets rules banks are required to follow to constrain risktaking activity by the trading arm of banks. In practice only a lighter form of the Volcker Rule has been adopted in the U.S., and the rules are not clearly defined. Ring fencing of risk taking activities at banks is an important part of British regulation, an approach also adopted by Germany.

India Graduates Millions, but Too Few Are Fit to Hire
Wall Street Journal 04/05/11
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
