How was the decision of developing a mask-making machine taken?The impulse to move beyond the sanitary pads making machine had touched usfor a long time. I coordinate with the existing clientele, and they all weresuggesting we make some modifications and upgrade our machines. But it wasonly during the lockdown that the project of making a mask-making machinebegan. Due to the pandemic, the enquiries for a mask-making machine hadstarted to flood in from our existing as well as new clients, in addition to thesanitary pads making machine. The decision did not come as a surprise, but theexecution was challenging for all the departments.Since the nature of your work is outdoor, what difficulties did you face dueto the restrictions on mobility?During the lockdown, I managed most of the work from home with the strongsupport of my team. At that time, the operations team had ten people working init. We have expanded the team now. But during this project, everyonecoordinated really well, and only about 10% of the work had to be done on-site orin the office.How was your experience of working from home?At that time, we did not have an option but to continue working from home. Sowhether or not we prefer it was out of the question. What I found difficult was theswitch between work and personal life while being at home all the time. Usually,when I leave the office, I try not to take work home so that the balance can bemaintained. But when you are at home all day, it is tough to adhere to that axiom.
What kept you motivated to work during the pandemic?The fact that we still had work while a lot of people lost their jobs made me feelvery fortunate. To add to it, the project we had was beneficial for the society,which provided a sense of satisfaction that while people are just sitting idle athome, we are actually doing something meaningful. That kept me going.Do you have any experience to share when a colleague had to go out oftheir way to keep the work going?I remember, on the very first day of working at Mahindra, we were all in fullcoverage PPE suits. It was the birthday of one of our teammates. Nowconsidering how birthdays are celebrated these days and how excited everyoneis on their birthdays, the conditions there were really not favorable. But heseemed to have forgotten all about his birthday and still worked with the rest ofus. All of us had to make some compromises to adjust to the prevalentcircumstances but it was the dedication of each team member that made thisproject a huge success!Would like to share similar experiences when you went out of the way tosupport a colleague?The mask making machine was an entirely new experience for all of us. It posedbefore us questions like where to procure the raw material from since thefactories were closed and the regular vendors could not provide us with thematerial. It was quite stressful, and a lot of calls were made, but still, we did notmanage to get the raw material. One day I just told Kartik that I would get the rawmaterial in the next five days. I did not know how I was going to do that, but Iused all my sources and firmly believed that I could do it. Much to my andeveryone’s surprise, I managed to get the raw material within those five days.Describe your experience of working with Saral Designs in one sentence.A career with a cause.Author: Dhruti GanatraBusiness DevelopmentManager, Saral DesignsDhruti is Marketing Professional with a Master’s degree in marketing.
