Sanjay Swamy visited me today
mChek has an amazing promise. I had looked at it earlier, but did not fully understand the potential. It was Sanjay who truly educated me to day. Thanks Sanjay
Just using 14K of code on a SIM card (any SIM card, not even a JVM is needed!) mChek can provide mobility-based solutions (charge mobile phone, operate a bank account, account balance, transfer money, make payments for utility bills, receive grant from government schemes like NREGS) – all securely and with the convenience of a phone
Sanjay also brought along with Valerie Rozycki today - an interesting professional; after graduating from Stanford, Valerie wanted to focus on social aspects of technology; she discovered mChek, saw its potential and joined as full time employee! She has been staying in India, working with women workers in slums of Ejjipura in Bangalore and has plans to create two villages where everyone will ONLY transact money through mChek (and mobile phones of course!)
What makes my job such an enjoyable one is the simple fact that almost everyday I get an opportunity to meet such amazing individuals

Dear Sir,
There is a fundamental mistake in the designationof Mr. Snajay Swamy in your weblog. He is only the CEO of mChek not a Founder or Co-Founder. As per mchek site there is only 2 co-founders namely Mr. bharavi gade and Mr. John Kottakayam

Sanjay is not the Founder of the mChek. Please make the required correction.

Sir,
Thank you for the enlightening post. I never knew such a service existed until now. I do hope that mCheck comes up with a system that enables prepaid users to pay using a debit card.
