Can a country like India run CLOUD based Model to run new concept HaaS (Human as a Service)?
According to the results of a recent UNO study, the world population reached 7.3 billion as of mid - 2015, which also shows 60% of the global population lives in Asia (4.4 billion), out of which China (1.4
Billion) and India (1.3 billion) remain the two largest countries of the world, representing 19% & 18% of the world’s population, respectively. By 2022, both countries are expected to have approximately 1.4 billion people. Thereafter, India’s population is projected to continue growing for several decades to 1.5 billion in 2030 and 1.7 billion in 2050, while the population of China is expected to remain fairly constant until the 2030s, after which it is expected to slightly decrease. By 2030 the top countries with oldest populations are going to be Japan, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece, China, and Germany South Korea with an average median range of 48-51 years.
Essentially it shows like an enterprise running different cloud model like IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), SaaS (Software as a Service) to reduce upfront Operational investment and increase ROI hence profit; time has come for country like India to practice similar concepts. India can leverage the potential of its large working class population and deliver a new service called “Human as a Service (Haas)” based on demand pricing model where different prices varies each season or country depending on the demand/supply. It is time to leverage opportunity when majority of the larger economy countries will struggle to run with their day-to-day business with ageing population.
Some of the typical use cases are depicted below but not necessarily exhaustive list:

Can this be reality soon where a country also runs like an enterprise to be answerable to its citizen for using the surplus resource where there is an urgent need to help address and earn revenue for the betterment of the society at large?
