"It takes hundreds of nuts to hold a car together, but it takes only one of them to scatter it all over the highway" quipped the humorist, Evan Esar.<br />
The journey from the horse-drawn stage coach to the “horseless carriages” has been fast and short. And Cars have become icons of personal freedom. Car designing has taken an entirely new trend that challenges<br />
human imagination and building a Kart is the starting point for budding car enthusiasts. With an ideology of encouraging the inherent aspirations of the automobile engineers-to-be SHRI <strong>VISHNU</strong> ENGINEERING COLLEGE<br />

2016 A wonderful night at the open air<br />
auditorium BVRIT.<br />
It's something I really can't stand.<br />
And yet, it's inevitable.<br />
And it's happening here @ THE HOSTEL<br />
DAY CELEBRATIONS.<br />
All of a sudden the anchors on the stage<br />
started the countdown and the team has<br />
announced 'THE BIRTHDAY OF OUR<br />
CHAIRMAN SIR'. All ran towards the stage<br />
for the moment which included cake<br />
cutting ceremony along with the<br />
participation of students and the Faculty.<br />
It was a memorable moment for me as I<br />
got the opportunity to lit the candle and<br />
cut the cake!<br />
Being a part of the team of organizers for<br />
hostel day celebrations 2016, it was a<br />
chance for me in fact all the BVRITians to<br />
express warm and hearty greetings to our<br />
beloved chairman sir Sri K.V Vishnu Raju<br />
garu on the occasion of his 52nd Birthday.<br />
Sri. K.V. Vishnu Raju carries the torch of<br />
vision of his grandfather. He believes that<br />
it is inactivity and not activity that wears<br />
down the body and spirit. Vishnu sir is<br />
known for his leadership acumen<br />
especially for his motivational speeches<br />
and empowering students in the society.<br />
And it was the moment 12:00:00 am of 31-<br />
01-2016. Cheers all around the ground<br />
with lots of love from BVRITians.<br />
Happy Birthday Sir!<br />
Many more happy returns of the day!<br />

Vishnu Institute of<br />
Technology, Bhimavaram.<br />

Prasanna : Eminent persons are all people who have realized their dreams.<br />
What was your dream when you were young?<br />
Vice Chancellor: I started my profession in Civil Engineering. My<br />
dream was to become a Vice Chancellor, to realize this dream I<br />
had to have a plan of action and it is important to implement it.<br />
What is required to become a Vice Chancellor? Good Education<br />
and Research. I made sincere attempts to reach my goal. I<br />
pursued my B.Tech, M.Tech, Ph.D, and Post Doc. without any<br />
gap, I indulged in research and I have many publications and<br />
presentations. . I was also very clear about how to achieve my<br />
goal. Reaching one's goal is not an easy task. There will be many<br />
deviations in between. I too faced many hindrances. But I was<br />
clear. If there was a problem, I would attend to it ,do what was<br />
required and again focus on my task . I may have lost time, but I<br />
kept moving quietly in the direction that I ought to move. . In<br />
addition to qualification, experience and determination, sincerity<br />
is also a must. If you operate sincerely, you can more effectively<br />
direct your future. It is because of that, I achieved my goal within<br />
the shortest possible time. If we have high determination and<br />
sincere resolution we can achieve our goals.<br />
Prasanna: Who inspired you to pursue your dream?<br />
Vice Chancellor: Basically, my father was also a professor. He<br />
inspired me to become a professor.<br />
Prasanna: What is on your bookshelf?<br />
Vice Chancellor: Oh, many! Reading is my passion. I simply love<br />
reading books. I am a voracious reader and I read the books of<br />
several authors. When I go to a bookshop, I do not buy only one<br />
book of an author. In fact, I book the entire series of that author.<br />
You can see thousands of books in my library. But I am very<br />
particular in maintaining all the books. To keep track of these<br />
books, I follow the numbering system; I give numbers to the<br />
books just as they do in professional libraries. In addition to<br />
reading, I also share my books with others. I also make it a point<br />
that the book is returned to me, in this way I can share my books<br />
with several people. Even today books remain the highest<br />
delight. They take us to unknown lands and enrich our lives. I feel<br />
that the greatest gift that can be given to a bibliophile is a book.<br />
They can be read and shared as well. Books are to be read, books<br />
are to be preserved and books are to be shared.<br />
Prasanna: How do you manage your personal life as well as you<br />
professional life?<br />
Vice Chancellor: It's very simple. I just learnt it from different<br />
people. We have to identify different young people like you. We<br />
have to assign them the job and monitor the work as a leader. A<br />
leader should be able to plan and delegate work effectively. The<br />
right work given to the right person, at the right time will lead to<br />
successful completion of all tasks. Then there would be plenty of<br />
time to spend with the family. If I were to do everything on my<br />
own, 24 hours will not be sufficient. I just identify the right<br />
people and assign them the job. Delegation, proper monitoring<br />
and effective time management is the secret.<br />
Prasanna: On what quote do you live by?<br />
Vice Chancellor: Tomorrow's problems cannot be solved with a<br />
little knowledge or only today's knowledge. All the time we have<br />
to go with new technologies. When you are doing one thing, we<br />
have to adopt new technology. For example, when a computer<br />
system comes, you have to learn it. If you say, “No. I will just go<br />
with the regular paper reading, hard copy”, you cannot be in the<br />
swim. You become outdated, obsolete. All the time you have to<br />
move along with technology and you have to optimize the system.<br />
It is essential to keep abreast of the changing trends. Updating<br />
oneself with technology gives a person a sharper edge in this<br />
competitive world. Web media, print books and magazines,<br />
social media, training face to face or online, are all ways to<br />
update oneself. As the days, months and years go by; technology<br />
just gets better and better. What was once the latest and greatest<br />
yesterday, is an old hat today. The bottom line is, technology<br />
doesn't wait for you and we need to harness the latest<br />
technology.<br />
Prasanna: As a new Vice-Chancellor of JNTUK, what are your plans?<br />
Vice Chancellor: Well, with the continuous changes in the<br />
requirements of the society, it is necessary that we grow<br />
continuously and adopt latest content and teaching<br />
methodologies. With my experience, I plan to put this JNTU<br />
Kakinada University on par with the other technological<br />
universities which are doing very well not only in India but also in<br />
the world. I will advise colleges to follow the best practices<br />
adopted by educational institutions like Sri Vishnu Engineering<br />
College. If possible, I would request the heads of such colleges to<br />
take the initiative and introduce such practices in the<br />
government engineering colleges.<br />
Prasanna: Do you have any suggestions to the students?<br />
Vice Chancellor: All the time students should go with new<br />
innovative areas. They should work hard. They should make use<br />
of laboratory facilities. You cannot learn the entire subject only<br />
through classroom teaching. You have to complement it by<br />
referring books in the library, by observation of the society, and<br />
by doing everything that can give practical experience. I, as a<br />
person, did not have any practical experience. No student should<br />
lag in this aspect. The thrust should be on holistic education.<br />
Prasanna: Thank you Sir.<br />

LEADER SPEAK<br />
Mr Ganesh Subramanian,<br />
Founder and CEO, Stylumia<br />
A QUARTERLY NEWS PUBLICATION FROM SRI <strong>VISHNU</strong> EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY<br />
Mr. Ganesh Subramanian is the Founder & CEO of Stylumia Intelligence Technology Private Limited. The company's mission is to enable<br />
fashion and lifestyle Brands, Retailers and Producers all over the world, provide customer-right products at the right time, at the right<br />
place and at the right price, using deep technology. He has over 20 years of rich and diverse experience in the retail and fashion industry<br />
where he created many powerful private brands and established a wide selection of brand partnerships. He worked as Chief<br />
Merchandising Officer, Chief Operating Officer and as Head (New Initiatives) between April, 2015 and October, 2015 before starting his<br />
own company Stylumia in October, 2015. He served as the Vice President of Softlines (Fashion, Footwear and Accessories) business of<br />
the Bharti - Walmart joint venture where he helped establish and reposition fashion in the hypermarket business. He has earlier played a<br />
key role in the making of Reliance Trends as its Asst. Vice President - Apparel and was also instrumental in the launch of super premium<br />
brand Tommy Hilfiger (an Arvind Brands joint venture) in India during his tenure as their Head of Operations.<br />
Could you please tell us about your journey from a student at<br />
Institute of Supply Management, USA to Founder & CEO,<br />
Stylumia?<br />
Early part of my career, after college, was about having a good<br />
brand name behind me and a good company, so I joined Coats<br />
India as management trainee. My First job was fiber to thread,<br />
second was thread to fabric (Manifattura di valle Brembana, an<br />
Indo-Italian joint venture) to establish a European quality<br />
fabric from India serving international brands like Hugo Boss,<br />
PVH etc. Then I started to design my career going closer to<br />
consumer. I loved serving consumers. Then I moved from hard<br />
core textiles to branded apparel business through Indus<br />
League, Arvind and Tommy Hilfiger. My first move into retail<br />
was with Reliance Trends. Seeing the challenges in Indian<br />
retail scaling, Walmart came as a huge opportunity, which<br />
helped me learn scaling any business. While thinking of<br />
starting something on my own in e-commerce , when it was<br />
just picking up in 2012, I met the founder of Myntra, we saw a<br />
connect and I joined Myntra. Last four years have been a great<br />
learning period at supersonic speed particularly being part of<br />
Myntra scaling from 20 million USD run rate to 500 million USD<br />
run rate when I left.<br />
Experience at Myntra gave me an insight on how technology<br />
helps scale business and solve real life problems. Having been<br />
in fashion business for a long period, I never thought<br />
technology could be used to drive key decisions. With<br />
developments in deep learning, computer vision and Artificial<br />
Intelligence, I wanted to contribute to key decision making in<br />
fashion business. That's how Stylumia was born.<br />
What made you choose fashion and marketing after doing a<br />
Bachelor's course in Technology?<br />
My passion to serve consumers and I always saw a great<br />
opportunity, learning and growth there.<br />
What is Disruptive innovation? Kindly let us know the<br />
disruptive innovation in Fashion Industry and especially @<br />
Myntra ?<br />
Disruptive innovation is about breaking the rules of the game or<br />
create new rules and create an all new opportunity. When I<br />
joined Myntra, people used to ask me “who would buy fashion<br />
online?, fashion is a touch and feel business, books are fine, but<br />
not fashion”. With sheer focus, consumer centricity and<br />
innovation, Myntra today is one of the leading fashion retailers<br />
in the country with even International brands launching first<br />
through Myntra.<br />
Throw some light on AI-led fashion intelligence platform<br />
initiated by your Stylumia Intelligence Technology Pvt Ltd ?<br />
Fashion business is one of the most challenging businesses to<br />
operate. Long lead times and short product life cycles<br />
compound the complexity of the business. Many decisions are<br />
made for the future and the current with minimal available data<br />
and a fair amount of judgement.<br />
Having worked in the trenches for many years in the industry,<br />
we started out by asking this question: can machines jump in<br />
here with more reliable, data-driven and actionable<br />
suggestions to help design professionals and consumers alike,<br />
in real-time?<br />
The answer to this is what we are chasing at Stylumia. We are<br />
applying the advances in AI and computer vision to model,<br />
analyse and derive actionable intelligence from the<br />
unstructured data sources. The intelligence of our models<br />
would be derived from data sources like images, user behavior<br />
data, textual descriptions on social media or implicit signals to<br />
be mined from the retail sites: by using machine learning<br />
approaches.<br />
Having chosen this direction, we are out to enable the fashion<br />
and lifestyle professionals across the globe in making laser<br />
edge informed decisions for current course corrections and<br />
future directions.<br />
Where do you see Stylumia in the next five years?<br />
We see Stylumia becoming the go to solution provider for every<br />
fashion professional in the world. We would have moved from<br />
reactive to in-line, to predictive. If I may say so “Bloomberg of<br />
Fashion”.<br />
One of the key characteristic of your marvelous career is<br />
leadership. What traits must a leader possess in the 21st<br />
century organizations?<br />
Leader is one, who learns constantly. He believes in people and<br />
creates leaders and he himself goes to the background.<br />
Communication is a very important trait. Humility helps him to<br />
be a learner always.<br />
During graduation, a lot of students aspire to be<br />
entrepreneurs. What qualities according to you are must for<br />
a good entrepreneur?<br />
Ambition, Passion and necessary Skills for what one wants to<br />
do. You are your ambition!<br />
In the present day scenario, Innovation is the key to success<br />
for any company. What's your take on this?<br />
Keep asking why? 3,5,7 times till you get stuck. Innovation<br />
follows.<br />
What do you think of the popular opinion that hard work isn't<br />
enough to rise up the ranks?<br />
Hard work with smartness takes you forward faster. You are as<br />
smart as your knowledge and application.<br />
What advice do you give for students aspiring to be future<br />
trailblazers in Fashion Industry and other related fields?<br />
Keep learning every day, every day is day one. Read a lot!<br />
You must have faced many challenges in your professional<br />
life. What was the toughest one? How could you overcome?<br />
I always moved to jobs which I was not aware of (not<br />
experienced in). I call this as “zero knowledge advantage”. This<br />
is a challenge too. The way I managed it is to approach any role<br />
from first principles. I always asked “what is the best in the<br />
world?” and “what could be next?”<br />
We've seen a video in YouTube which was titled "Ganesh<br />
Subramanian farewell video @ Myntra” where people<br />
describe you as a colleague more than a boss. How do you<br />
manage to bring the best out in each individual?<br />
Respect everyone, treat your colleagues as friends and support<br />
them in times of need. Challenge them enough for them to<br />
learn. Help them become better persons.<br />
Do you think Indian fashion has influence over the Western<br />
world?<br />
Yes, many luxury brands of the world take inspiration from<br />
India.<br />
Where you draw your inspiration from?<br />
I am fan of Nature. Most of my inspiration comes from reading.<br />
What is your Philosophy of life? Any Favorite quotes?<br />
Life is finite. What is the biggest size of problem that you want<br />
to take in this finite life and solve? There is no past, no future,<br />
there is only this moment. Be alive, take action, you will keep<br />
moving forward. Take risks, not taking them would be the<br />
biggest risk.

SUCCESS<br />
FACTOR<br />
The success factor for one's professional & personal life<br />
is to reduce the amount of time and positive attitude<br />
that takes you to achieve your goals. If one thinks<br />
positively will be optimistic and confident. People must<br />
be engaged in the activities that make them perfect in<br />
that particular work they learn or do. Only then they can<br />
provide the best and get success in life.<br />
The steps to reach one's goal<br />
Set a Goal Work hard<br />
Believe in self Think Positive<br />
Be Confident<br />
My opinion<br />
There flies a kite,<br />
Roves the sky with all delight.<br />
Spreads its wings deep into the sky,<br />
Gazing the earth from very high.<br />
Away from the world,<br />
Away from the brawl.<br />
Deliberating from a height,<br />
To get the things right.<br />
Aiming the horizon, it dashed through the skies.<br />
One must have dreamt of flying,<br />
Given the wings would think themselves free in the space,<br />
feeling the free spirit.<br />
Mind thou, the deed of flight,<br />
Is indeed a norm of plight.<br />
Stuck in the plays of wind,<br />
Swirling, whirling as the invincible twirls of fate.<br />
Even the king of flight should fight to keep it high,<br />
Not to collide or crash down to meet its end,<br />
Sometimes it gets to rest somewhere to carry on its errand.<br />
It is designed to cover the sky whereas we to cover the earth,<br />
Posed with the similar challenges right from the birth.<br />
5<br />
If the God listens to your prayer, he will expand your faith.<br />
If the God delays, it means he is testing your patience. If<br />
he denies, he will give something better for you.<br />
Career Advice<br />
1. College doesn't only prepare you for a job but it's also a<br />
preparation for life. College will open doors of opportunities. But<br />
remember, your destination is yours to choose.<br />
2. Life in the real world is different from being a student. Challenges<br />
are inevitable. However, if you focus on your strengths and use<br />
your weaknesses to improve yourself, nothing will be impossible to<br />
a determined person.<br />
Rise<br />
3. You need to have technical skills for the job if you want to be able<br />
to move up and master your craft. And you also should have<br />
communication skills along with technical skills.<br />

THROTTLE<br />
SVECW Girls at BAJA SAE INDIA 2016<br />
The 9th BAJA 2016 competition was remarkable for yet another<br />
historic event. It dispelled the general notion that mechanical<br />
or automobile branches of engineering are meant for boys only<br />
and girls show less interest. Flabbergasting all the<br />
assumptions, a team of women mechanical engineers<br />
representing Shri Vishnu Engineering College for women,<br />
Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh, made their debut into the<br />
competition BAJA 2016. They have cleared the virtual round and<br />
are getting ready for the next rounds to challenge supremacy<br />
of boys in this field and proclaim to the world the capabilities<br />
of womenfolk of south India. It is the first women team<br />
representing South India ever since the beginning of BAJA<br />
competitions, can uplift the spirits of many women engineers.<br />
Creation of industry ready skilled engineers is a prerequisite<br />
to achieve the targets that have been set forth in the<br />
Automotive Mission Plan of 2016 for India. BAJA is one such<br />
initiative from SAE INDIA (Society of Automotive Engineers)<br />
that provides an opportunity for students to get hands on<br />
learning experience in vehicle design. The rapid increase in<br />
the number of teams from SAEINDIA clubs and colleges across<br />
the country and the unparalleled enthusiasm of everyone<br />
involved with this event is clear evidence that BAJA SAEINDIA<br />
is making progress in the right direction. The event stands as<br />
a test for the fusion of intellectual potentialities and<br />
corporeal capabilities of contestants.<br />
Motorsports in India have been gaining enormous significance<br />
in the past few years. In view of this, Baja SAE has gained<br />
significant popularity amongst students in India recently. To<br />
meet Technology Road Map of India's vision, we need lots of<br />
good engineers. These Human Resources can be multiplied by<br />
encouraging women to enter into engineering. Baja is one such<br />
initiative, where Science, Technology, Engineering &<br />
Mathematics are synthesized.<br />
The project fuels the exuberance of the youth, by providing<br />
teams with a platform to test their mettle, giving them a<br />
pragmatic exposure to real world challenges as faced in the<br />
industry. Students realize their talent through such an<br />
experience, making them deserving candidates for the future<br />
as technocrats, entrepreneurs, designers, innovators and<br />
leaders. This helps the objective of bringing out student<br />
talent to serve the nation for the years to come, in fulfillment<br />
of the Automotive Mission Plan a dream to make India an<br />
International Automotive Hub.<br />
Last year over 100 engineering students were placed in<br />
different automobile companies like General Motors, Mahindra<br />
and Mahindra, John Deere, Cummins India, ARAI and SAE. These<br />
companies offer annual salaries in between 3 lakh to 8 lakh.<br />
Due to practical knowledge and hands on experience, these<br />
students perform better than any other post graduate<br />
engineering students.<br />
Let the youth be<br />
reinforced to<br />
transform the<br />
nation

The Genesis<br />
The BAJA SAE Competition originated at the<br />
University of South Carolina in 1976,<br />
under the supervision of Dr. J. F.<br />
Stevens. Since then, the competition has<br />
grown to become a premier engineering<br />
design series for university teams. The<br />
series consists of seven competitions, of<br />
these, three competitions are held in<br />
North America under the sponsorship of<br />
SAE. The Indian competition is about 9<br />
years old, and growing in popularity, as<br />
well as in the number of colleges and<br />
students participating every year. It is<br />
an annual competition conducted by Baja<br />
across the US and around the world<br />
including India, Brazil, South Africa and<br />
Korea.<br />
BAJA SAE INDIA is an inter-collegiate<br />
design competition for undergraduate<br />
engineering students. It challenges and<br />
pushes the participating students and<br />
colleges to simulate real-world<br />
engineering design projects and their<br />
related challenges. It pools undergraduate<br />
students of mechanical and automobile<br />
engineering across the country to design<br />
and manufacture an all-terrain vehicle on<br />
their own and compete with one another on<br />
the arduous track at Pithampur, Madhya<br />
Pradesh. The competition started in India<br />
in December 2007 at Pithampur, near Indore<br />
(M.P.).<br />
BAJA SAE INDIA is conducted at NATRAX –<br />
National Automobile Test Tracks, NATRIP in<br />
Pithampur where a specially designed four<br />
kilometer track, puts to tests the vehicle<br />
designs of the participating students. The<br />
objective of the competition is to design<br />
and build a rugged single seat,<br />
recreational four-wheel off-road vehicle.<br />
Teams compete to have their design<br />
accepted for manufacture by a fictitious<br />
firm. Students must function as a team not<br />
only to design, build, test, promote and<br />
race a vehicle within the limits of the<br />
rules, but also to generate financial<br />
support for the project, as well as manage<br />
their academic priorities at their<br />
respective colleges.<br />
THE JOURNEY<br />
OF ZIBA RACERS<br />
Armed with will power, a team of 14 girl students from Shri Vishnu Engineering<br />
College for Women competed with 395 teams across the country to CHALLENGE THEIR<br />
CALIBRE. SVECW Women's team 'ZIBA RACERS' were the only girl team from south<br />
India to participate in BAJA and compete with other teams in ENDURANCE test of<br />
their vehicle. Their ideology is evident from the name of the team itself.<br />
'ZIBA' means 'BEAUTY WITH STRENGTH'.<br />
The event was divided into two stages: The first stage was held in July, the<br />
Virtual round, in which about 153 teams were shortlisted on the basis of their<br />
technical design and their knowledge of the design and development stages of<br />
the project.<br />
The second stage was the Main event which was held in February at the National<br />
Automotive Testing and R&D Infrastructure Project (NATRIP) facility in<br />
Pithampur near Indore, Madhya Pradesh, assessed the durability and drivability<br />
of the actual vehicle, assembled as per the design presented in the virtual<br />
round. It comprised of Static and Dynamic Events.<br />
During Static events, the participating students had to describe in detail the<br />
methods used in designing the car, including all its sub-systems from Chassis<br />
to Steering as well as Engine Power Train to the Safety features.<br />
The Dynamic Events involved dynamic tests such as acceleration, suspension or<br />
traction, hill climbing, maneuverability and many more. Points were awarded<br />
based on the performance of the vehicles. These points were also taken as the<br />
starting order of events for the Endurance Race.<br />
The support from the management in providing tools, equipment, or finance<br />
provided the members of TEAM ZIBA RACERS with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to<br />
test their skills against students from around the world and grow into realtime<br />
engineers.<br />
The motto “you name it ,we have it ” has inspired the SVECW girls to dream more<br />
,learn more , do more and become more.<br />
Let’s Make in India<br />
be a reality,<br />
but not a slogan.

welcome address, the chairman briefed the audience about the highly<br />
competitive ceramic industry. He described Kajaria Ceramics as the largest,<br />
the best and the most profitable family based industry which had made a<br />
niche for itself because of its excellent brand image. At the helm was Mr.<br />
Chetan Kajaria, a Petro-chemical engineer, who also holds a Management<br />
degree from Boston College and whose dynamic leadership propels the<br />
company forward. Shri. Chetan Kajaria released alumnus Ms. Puneetha<br />

Professor of English, Mrs. P. Prasanthi, Assistant Professor of English and<br />
Prudhvy Raju Mantena, Assistant Professor from the Department of<br />
Management Studies conducted the session.<br />
Who is your real source of inspiration behind your<br />
entrepreneurial journey?<br />
My father Shri Ashok Kajaria. His vision, wisdom and<br />
guidance motivate and influenced me as well as my brother<br />
Rishi Kajaria to progress in this highly competitive industry.<br />
Further, my education as a Petrochemical engineer and my<br />
MBA from Boston College contribute significantly to my<br />
work.<br />
What are the steps you take to keep in pace with the<br />
highly dynamic external environment?<br />
We at Kajaria focus on retail distribution. Our dealers are our<br />
backbone. Hence, we maintain a strong bond with the<br />
dealership network, produce a wide variety of products to<br />
cater to and win the trust of our customers.<br />
What are the practices that are followed in Kajaria in<br />
order to retain the best talent?<br />
Creating good work atmosphere, cordial relationship and<br />
treating employees as partners.<br />
What is the role of Kajaria in the community<br />
development/ its CSR activities?<br />
Kajaria has constructed schools in Gailpur and Sikandrabad<br />
in UP, building the much needed toilets for women and girls in<br />
villages in Gujarat and thus taking care of hygiene and the<br />
environment.<br />
What's your view on the present industrial environment<br />
in this new state of AP?<br />
Andhra Pradesh is poised for very rapid growth with an<br />
extremely positive industrial environment.<br />
What's your piece of advice for the budding<br />
entrepreneurs like us?<br />
There's no substitute for hard work.<br />
What are the steps that you usually follow in order to<br />
maintain the visibility of your brand in the market?<br />
Grass root level branding, good displays at showrooms,<br />
advertising on TV, hoardings at Airports and cricket grounds<br />
Excluding yours, what's your most admired company?<br />
Asian Paints for its employee centeredness and we try to<br />
adopt some of the best practices.<br />
What are the factors you attribute for your success?<br />
We have a strong marketing team and extensive dealership<br />
network, adapting the latest digital technology that helps<br />
keep in touch with the pulse of the market and delivering<br />
excellent quality of the product to the customers.<br />
Looking back, what's one thing that you would like to do<br />
differently, if given a chance?<br />
No regrets for anything as of now, however I would do<br />
marketing more aggressively.<br />
What according to you are the solid steps taken by the<br />
govt. to make the Indian economy self -sustainable?<br />
I am bullish about India's economy under Prime Minister<br />
Modi's leadership and his call for “Make in India” would<br />
be fruitful.<br />
How would you like your company to be remembered by<br />
the people?<br />
We have won the customers' trust that our products are the<br />
best in the market. Keeping up with that image, we would<br />
like to be remembered as the leader and innovator of the<br />
ceramic industry in India.<br />
What are the steps taken by your organization to make<br />
sure that there is proper work life balance in your<br />
employees and make them emotionally strong?<br />
Punctuality in one's work reduces stress. Further, employees<br />
are given two Saturdays in a month to pursue their interests.<br />
Many foreign products are flooding the Indian markets.<br />
What's your strategy to overcome this competition?<br />
Like the fashion Industry, tile and ceramic industry are driven<br />
by style, colour and pattern. We have 3000+ inventory of<br />
designs for wall, floor and bathroom tiles. We keep abreast of<br />
the latest developments in the European market. The cutting<br />
edge digital technology helps create ground breaking<br />
product profiles, designs and processes.<br />
Especially for products like tiles, distribution network is<br />
very vital. What are the specialties of Kajaria distribution<br />
network?<br />
We have a strong pan- India distribution network, our unique<br />
mega showroom and display centres give the customers a<br />
complete picture of the product to make their choice easy.<br />
How can a company plan about eco-friendly type of raw<br />
materials to be used in present scenario?<br />
Right now majority of the raw materials in tiles are ecofriendly<br />
and we stand by these materials and try to balance<br />
nature.<br />
As more amount of ceramic waste is dumped in the<br />
ceramic industries, in this context what are the measures<br />
you are taking for the reduction of waste?<br />
We have separate places near all our factories for wastage<br />
dumping and moreover, the waste material from tiles are<br />
used as raw materials for many new products and also tiles<br />
waste is used by the aquaculture people for filling their lands.<br />
How is ergonomics being applied in the organization<br />
today?<br />
Our design and development team is in step with the best in<br />
the world to produce the best product in the country. We have<br />
been called the super brand by the customers for the eighth<br />
year in a row. It is all due to the incredible trust of the<br />
customers in our wide range of products.
