मी एक शेतकरी आहे

याचा मला खूप अभिमान आहे

श्रीराम

          नमस्कार मी सुवर्णा मिलिंद वैद्य (रा.रीळ रत्नागिरी) पूर्वाश्रमीची सुवर्णा विश्वास गोड बोले( रा. जंगली महाराज रोड पुणे ).

लौकीक अर्थाने पुणे ते रीळ हा साडेतीनशे किलोमीटर चा वळणावळणांचा आणि चढ-उतारांचा प्रवास हा माझ्यासाठी मोठा जीवन परिवर्तनाचा प्रवास होता पुण्यातल्या टिपिकल मध्यमवर्गीय सुखवस्तू कुटुंबात माझा जन्म झाला लहानपणापासून मला अभ्यासाची आवड असल्याने पुस्तकातला किडा असे सर्वजण चिडवायचे शाळेतला पहिला नंबर कॉलेजमध्येही कायम राहिला दहावीच्या परीक्षेत बोर्डात येण्याचं माझं स्वप्न थोडक्यात चुकले ते मी बारावीला बोर्डात सातवी येऊन पूर्ण केलं आणि माझ्या गुरूंमुळे राज्यशास्त्र या विषयात महाराष्ट्रात प्रथम येण्याचा बहुमान  मला मिळाला  तत्वज्ञान विषयात पीएचडी करण्याची इच्छा होती पण त्याच सुमारास माननीय डॉक्टर अविनाश धर्माधिकारी यांच्या विचारांच्या प्रभावाखाली येऊन मी प्रशासकीय सेवेसाठी अभ्यास करण्याचा निर्णय घेतला आणि त्याचा अभ्यास सुरू केला सुदैवाने पहिला प्रयत्नात मी एमपीएससीची पूर्वपरीक्षा उत्तीर्ण झाले आणि मेंन्स ची तयारी करत असतानाच नेहमीप्रमाणे माझ्या आयुष्यात अचानक वेगळेच वळण आले

           आम्ही मे महिन्याच्या सुट्टीत फिरायला म्हणून माझ्या मैत्रिणीकडे सुमेधाकडे कोकणातल्या गणपती पुण्याजवळच्या रीळ या गावी आलो तेथील निसर्गसंपन्न वातावरण मला खूप आवडले समुद्रकिनारी माडपोफळीच्या आणि हिरव्यागर्द झाडीच्या कुशीतले इवलेसे रीळ गाव आणि तिथली  कष्टाळू माणसं त्यांची साधी राहणी मला खूपच आवडली तिथल्या मुक्कामात  सुमेधाने त्याच गावातील  मिलिंद वैद्य यांच्याशी आमचा परिचय करून दिला ज्यांनी अत्यंत गरीब  परिस्थितीतून जिद्दीने आणि चिकाटीने  आपले पदव्युत्तरशिक्षण पूर्ण केले घरात वैद्य परंपरेचा वारसा असल्याने त्यांनाही डॉक्टर बनण्याची खूप इच्छा होती परंतु परिस्थिती अभावी कमवा आणि शिकवा हे तत्त्व खऱ्या अर्थाने जगून त्यांनी आपले एम ए चे शिक्षण पूर्ण केले आणि नॅचरोपॅथी चा डिप्लोमा केला हा त्यांचा सर्व जीवन प्रवास आम्हा पुणेकरांना फारच आदर्शवत होता

 रिक्षा किंवा बसशिवाय कधीही न फिरलेले आम्ही एक मुलगा शिक्षणासाठी कोणतीही मूलभूत सुविधा नसलेल्या दुर्गम खेडेगावात राहून रोज दहा किलोमीटरवरील मालगुंड गावा पर्यंत चालत जातो आणि चालतपरत येऊन आपले घर ,शेती उत्तम सांभाळतो हे सर्व आमच्या कल्पनेच्या पलीकडचे होते  खरं म्हणायचं तर डोळ्यात अंजन घालणारे होते कमी गरजा आणि साधन सुविधा नसूनही ही माणसं सुखी कशी हा प्रश्न मनात ठेवून आम्ही पुण्याला आलो आणि लगेच काही दिवसात हे वैद्यांचे स्थळ आम्हाला सुचवले गेले 'मी  आणि कोकणात अशक्य 'या मताशी  ठाम असल्याने तात्काळ नकार दिला पण लग्नाच्या गाठी यावरती जुळलेल्या असतात या उक्तीप्रमाणे एकदा भेटून तरी बघ या घरच्यांच्या  आग्रहामुळे मी मिलींदची चाळीस प्रश्नांची प्रदीर्घ मुलाखत घेतली होती हे आज आठवले की हसू येते त्यात मला त्यांचा कष्टाळू, जिद्दी स्वभाव आणि जीवनाकडे बघण्याचा सकारात्मक दृष्टीकोन खूप भावला आपल्या भावी जोडीदारामधेजे गुण मला हवे होते ते मला त्यांच्या मधे  दिसले

 थोड्याशा असुविधेने तळमळणारे आम्ही शहरी लोक आणि  दुर्गम अशा खेडेगावात कोणतीही मूलभूत सुविधा नसतानाही स्वतःची रडकथा न सांगता अत्यंत आशावादी पद्धतीने जीवनमान बदलण्यासाठी धडपडणारी मिलिंद सारखी माणसं हे विरोधाभासी चित्र मनाला चटका लावून गेले त्यानंतर बरेच विचार मंथन, चर्चा,आदरणीय स्वामीजींचे मार्गदर्शन यानंतर खूप विचार करून मी लग्नाला होकार दिला पण माझा हा माझा होकार आमच्या पुण्यातल्या बऱ्याच नातेवाईकांसाठी मानसिक धक्का होता अगदी माझ्याआत्यानेही त्यामुळे आमच्याशी अबोला धरला होता अशा अनेक गमतीजमती घडत आमचे लग्न पार पडले

       लग्नानंतरचे पहिले काही महिने तर माझ्यासाठी परीक्षेचा काळ होता घरापर्यंत जायला रस्ता नाही गुडघाभर पाण्यातून नदीओलांडायची नाही तर साकवावरून जीव मुठीत धरून जाण्याशिवाय पर्याय नव्हता.धो धो पावसाळा ,अवती भोवती फिरणारे असंख्य जीवजिवाणू ,जंगली श्वापदे ,काळोख ,क्वचित असणारे लाईट यामुळे मी अक्षरशः अनेकदा रडवेली  व्हायचे त्यावेळी जर मला मिलिंदनी भक्कम साथ दिली नसतीआणि माझी तिथली भिती घालवली  नसती तर मी पुण्यालाच पळाले असते नंतर हळूहळू मला या सर्वांतली मजा अनुभवायला येऊ लागली शेती फक्त सिझनल व्यवसाय नाही तर यात किती वैविध्य, नवनवीन आव्हाने आणि नवे प्रयोग यांना वाव आहे हे मला कळायला लागले आणि मी या अनोळखी दुनियेत कधी सरावले ते माझे मलाच कळले नाही अगदी चूल पेटवणे, सारवण करणे, दूध काढणे यापासून आंबा सोरटींग पर्यंत असंख्य कामांची यादी, त्यातले वैविध्य व त्यातली वेगवेगळी कौशल्ये यामुळे कामाचा कधी कंटाळा आला नाही उलट कामात मजा वाटायला लागली

        आमची तोट्यातील शेती फायद्यात आणण्यासाठी काही वेगळा प्रयोग करायला हवा अशी आमची दोघांची इच्छा होती त्यासाठी आम्ही आमच्या शेतीत वेगवेगळे प्रयोग करायचे ठरवले पारंपारिक शेतीमधे मिलिंदनी हळूहळू बदल करायला सुरवात केली होतीच ट्रॅक्टर घेतला, गांडूळ खत प्लान्ट सुरू केला ,गोबर गॅस आणि त्यातील स्लरीचा शेतीसाठी वापर, जैविक शेतीसाठी कंपोस्ट खड्डा ,जमिनीची प्रत सुधारण्यासाठी जीवामृताचा वापर, नवनवीन बियाण्यांचा वापर, विविध प्रकारच्या लावणी च्या पद्धती जसे श्री पद्धत, जपानी पद्धत ,एक काडी ,एस आर टी अशा अनेक पद्धतींचा प्रयोग केला त्यामुळे अभ्यासपूर्ण शेती करता आली त्यातून आमचे भाताचे उत्पादन  तिप्पटीने वाढले हे बघून एकदा सहजच शिवार फेरीला  आलेल्या कृषी अधिकाऱ्यांना आमची शेती आवडली आणि त्यांनी भात पीक स्पर्धेसाठी आमचा प्लॉट निवडला त्याच वर्षी आम्हाला भात पीक स्पर्धेत तालुका जिल्हा आणि राज्य या तिन्ही पातळीवर सलग तीन वर्षे पहिला क्रमांक मिळाला त्यामुळे आम्हाला अनेक वृत्तपत्रे आणि मासिके यात प्रसिद्धी मिळाली यानंतर एस आर टी पद्धतीचे तांदळाचे सर्वाधिक उत्पादन घेण्यात आमचा जगात दुसरा क्रमांक आला पहिला क्रमांक मिळवलेल्या चीनच्या शेतकऱ्याचे तांदळाचे उत्पादन १९.४० क्विंटल पर हेक्टर आणि आमचं १९.२४ क्विंटल पर हेक्‍टर असे आले आणि  थोडक्यात आमचा पहिला क्रमांक गेला याची आम्हाला खूप हुरहुर लागली पण यामुळे आमचं नाव सर्वदूर झाले आम्हाला खूप प्रसिद्धी मिळाली ,अनेक चांगले पुरस्कार , मानमरातब मिळाले या सर्वांमुळे अधिक चांगलं काम करण्याची प्रेरणा मिळाली

यानंतर  आम्ही सेंद्रिय शेती चा प्रयोग केला, देशी गायीचे संगोपन, अझोला निर्मिती, कातळावर चिरेखाणी चे शेततळ करून आंबा झाड लागवड ,ड्रिप इरिगेशन चा वापर ,गावठी बियाण्यांचे संवर्धन असे विविध प्रयोग करायला सुरुवात केली कोकणात भात पिकानंतर जमिनी ओसाड ठेवतात पण आम्ही त्यात सूर्यफूल ,भुईमूग, मका , मूग ,नाचणी कुळीथ, उडीद ,चवळी, अनेक वेगवेगळ्या भाज्या अशी विविध पिके पीकफेरपालट पद्धतीने घेतो त्यामुळे जमिनीचा पोत सुधारून सुपीकता वाढली आम्ही धान्याच्या बाबतीत स्वयंपूर्ण झालो आणि आम्हाला घरी वर्षभर पुरेल एवढे घरचे धान्य, घरच्या भाज्या, घरचे तेल हे सर्व करण्यातली आणि खाण्यातली मजा काही औरच असते नाही का ?

            या सर्वप्रयत्नांचे चीज म्हणून मिलिंद ला जिल्हा पातळीवरचा आदर्श शेतकरी पुरस्कार आणि राज्य पातळीवरचा शेतीनिष्ठ शेतकरी हा पुरस्कार मिळाला त्यामुळे आमच्या कामाची प्रसिद्धी सर्वत्र झाली अनेक वृत्तपत्रे, मासिकातून आमचे लेख छापून आले पण हे सर्व चालू असताना आमचा देशभरातील अनेक शेतकऱ्यांशी संपर्क आला देशाच्या एका कोपऱ्यात राहून छोट्याशा खेडेगावातून अशिक्षित असलेले अनेक शेतकरी आपल्या शेतामध्ये जे नवनवीन प्रयोग करत होते त्याची माहिती ते स्वतः जेव्हा आम्हाला सांगत तेव्हा आमचे हवेत जाणारे पाय जमिनीवर यायला खूप मदत झाली आपल्यापेक्षाही प्रतिकूल परिस्थितीत राहूनही संकटांवर मात करून शेतीत अभिनव प्रयोग करणारी ही सर्व सुज्ञ शेतकरी माणसे आम्हाला खूपच आदरणीय वाटतात त्यामुळे आम्ही त्यांचा आदर्श घेऊन आजही नवीन नवीन प्रयोग करण्यासाठी  नवी उमेद घेऊन प्रयत्न करत असतो

शेती महासागरआहे त्यात प्रयोग करायला जेवढा वाव आहे तेवढा दुसऱ्या कुठल्या क्षेत्रात नाही असं माझं मत आहे  आम्ही जे करतोय ते म्हणजे समुद्रातून तांब्याभर पाणी काढण्यासारखे आहे.आम्हाला अजून बरेच काही काम करायचं आहे सध्या आम्ही भाताच्या पारंपारिक जातींचे संवर्धन करण्याचं काम करत आहोत त्यातली एक जात म्हणजे लाल कुडा म्हणजे लाल तांदळाची जात आणि बासमती सारखा सुगंध असलेली सुगंधा ही देशी वाणाची जात विकसित करण्याचा आमचा प्रयत्न चालू आहे आंब्यांच्या ही विविध जाती चा अभ्यास करून अमृत पायरी हे पायरीच्या मोठ्या आणि अत्यंत गोड फळाची नवीन जात तयार करण्याचं काम चालू आहे

       आजही आपल्याला असं चित्र दिसतं की शेतकऱ्याच्या मालाला भाव मिळत नाही परंतु जर आपला माल दर्जेदार असेल तर बाजारात आपल्या मालाला नक्की चांगला भाव मिळतो याची आम्हाला प्रचिती आली आहे.आमच्या सर्व धान्य ,भाज्या, आंबे यांना चांगली मागणी असते त्यामुळे आमचा ते पिकवण्याचा उत्साहही वाढतो पुणे आणि मुंबई येथे आम्ही हा सर्व शेतमाल योग्य दरामध्ये विकतो आम्हाला अजून बराच मोठा टप्पा गाठायचा आहे हे सर्व करताना आम्हाला सर्व काही अत्यंत सुरळीत पणे मिळालं असं अजिबात नाही अनेकदा संकटे आली निराशेचे प्रसंग आले पण आम्ही आमचं काम चालू ठेवण्याचा निर्धार केला आहे

पूर्वी पासून उत्तम व्यापार आणि कनिष्ठ शेती असं तत्व होतं पण आज करोनाच्या काळामध्ये शेती हे सर्वोत्तम उत्पन्नाचे साधन आहे हा विचार अधोरेखित झाला आहे आज मुंबईत नोकरी गेल्याने परतआलेल्या दहा जणांना आम्ही आमच्या शेतीत सहभागी करून त्यांच्या कुटुंबाचा उदरनिर्वाह करण्यासाठी सक्षम बनवले आहे याचा आम्हाला सार्थ अभिमान आहे

        आज बऱ्याचदा शेतकरी म्हटलं की आकाशाकडे डोळे लावलेला, भेगाळ जमीनीकडे बघणारा , आत्महत्या करणारा असे निराशावादी चित्र डोळ्यासमोर येते परंतु प्रत्यक्षात शेती हा खूप व्यापक आणि समृद्ध व्यवसाय आहे. शेती नक्कीच फायद्याची आहे परंतु त्यासाठी उत्तम काटेकोर नियोजन, भविष्यातील संधी ची उपलब्धता याचाअभ्यास करण्याची अत्यंत गरज आहे तरच शेती फायद्यात आहे असे म्हणता येईल. ज्याला काही जमत नाही तो नाईलाज म्हणून शेती करतो हे चित्र आजच्या तरुण पिढीने बदलण्याची खूप गरज आहे असे मला वाटते कारण या क्षेत्रामध्ये काम करण्याची व्यापक संधी ,अभ्यास पूर्ण नियोजन करून सहज यशस्वी करून दाखवता येईल यात काही शंका नाही शेतीकडे एक व्यवसाय म्हणून आपण बघत नाही तोवर आपली मानसिकता बदलणं खूप कठीण आहे परंतु  सध्या थोडे आशावादी चित्र समोर यायला लागले आहे अनेक सुशिक्षित तरुण तरुणी या  क्षेत्रामध्ये अभ्यास पूर्ण पाऊल टाकून नवनवीन प्रयोग करताना दिसत आहे हीआपल्या देशासाठी खरोखरच खूप आनंदाची गोष्ट आहे आपणही आपापल्या परीने या सर्वांना मदत केली पाहिजे आणि प्रोत्साहन दिले पाहिजे तरच येत्या काही काळात आपल्याला अनेक आदर्श शेतकरी खेडोपाडी आनंदाने काम करताना दिसतील यात काहीच शंका नाही

आणि शेवटी मी एवढंच सांगेन की  मी एक शेतकरी आहे याचा मला खूप अभिमान आहे

Vaidya farm located at post reel district ratnagiri, Maharashtra India offers the very best of naturally ripened fresh alphonso mangoes. We have rich experience and expertise in developing mango orchids reaping good quality fresh alphonso mango. We source mangoes from our own orchids from the hinterlands of konkan the place of its origin. I myself with a team of experienced workers, we strive to continually improve the inherent qualities of alphonso mangoes. No wonder, milind vaidya is today, the most trusted name in the mumbai vashi market, recognised for the best quality indian alphonso mangoes. Processing at vaidya farm the processing of alphonso mangoes involve the following stages: sorting, weighing, packing and labeling. All our fruits are grown in the fresh farms of the countryside in properly managed fertile land by appropriate and authentic methods of farming. Once, the fruits reach the processing unit, they are first sorted, spray washed, packed in wodden cartons and boxes. Our major markets we mainly send our mango to vashi mumbai , pune and nasik and our clients include wholesellers and individual households. About alphonso the reigning king among Indian mangoes, alphonso is considered to be the finest of indian dessert mangoes. It is one of those rare varieties of mangoes, which has its own unique qualities flavour that is intensely sweet and sumptuous with multiple aromatic overtones and a hint of citrus. Primarily cultivated in the state of maharashtra, along the verdant shores of konkan, the alphonso mango fruit averages about 280 g (10 oz) and is bright yellow with a pink blush on the sun exposed shoulder. The ripening fruit fills air with a wonderful sweet and fruity aroma. Packaging and transportation we pack fresh mangoes in proper wooden/cardboard boxes to ensure the safety during transport. The shape and size of these boxes vary upon the quantity and size of the mangoes. After being carefully packed, the fresh Indian mangoes are labelled are then loaded carefully into the delivery vans. The delivery vans are also washed properly and kept clean. The mangoes are carefully stored and stacked in these vehicles to avoid damage during the transfer to the market. We pack and export fresh mangoes from our own farmhouse clientele we sell our mango to vashi market wholeseller in mumbai.

"Today, more than ever, there is a need for an industry-level view in addition to the academic-view that many students have. There are obvious gaps in what’s taught in schools or universities versus what industry needs.

As a result there is a bunch of un-learning and re-learning that happens when a student enters the job market for the 1st time.

In addition to learning the tools of the trade one needs to keep a holistic system-level view of all things to be able to apply the learned skills effectively.

I would like to present some topics that would help do just that.

I would like to present some mental models, introduction to a few topics I am familiar with, and review concepts from books that I recommend.

Presenter Name: Kedar Palsule (B.E. Electronics Engineering, MS ISyE, CSCP, PMP)

Topics: (subject to change as per request)

1. Supply Chain fundamentals: Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) Exam prep.
2. Project Management fundamentals: PMP (Project Management Professional) Exam prep. We will discuss what PMP certification offers. Then we will cover the basic framework that includes 5 process groups and 10 Knowledge areas from the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge.
3. Risk management techniques: An introduction to 2 frameworks developed by Mr. David Hillson (The Risk-doctor). The 1st one is (Active Threat & Opportunity Management) or ATOM framework and 2nd is (Making Risky & Important Decisions) or MRID for short.

Elute, Inc. Announces First Clinical Trial Authorization by FDA for Use of Its Antibiotic Eluting Bone Void Filler Product (EP Granules with Tobramycin™)

Garje Marathi Global is very proud to be associated with Ashok Khandkar PhD , since our inception.

Elute, Inc is an emerging leader in the development of its novel drug eluting device platform for controlled and sustained release of drugs. Elute’s lead product candidate is EP Granules with Tobramycin, a bone void filler that is designed to provide 8-week, delivery of an antibiotic while allowing growth of new bone.  Elute’s product is a combination product that combines a bone void filler device with an antibiotic, promises to transform the treatment of patients by providing a scaffold for new bone growth and delivering an antibiotic locally in a targeted area, for an unprecedented 8-week extended duration.  It is designed to be used as a bone void filler device to treat patients with deep bone infections that develop following a hip or knee replacement. 

Over 1 million Americans undergo hip or knee replacements every year, and between 60,000 to 100,000 of them suffer from infections.  These infections are difficult to treat and require a 2-stage surgical procedure spaced between 10- 12 weeks apart.  Overall, such 2-stage treatments take 6 months out of a patients’ life with sub-optimal outcomes: about 1 in 4 patients continue to have recurring infections!  Surgeons are looking for a better solution to address this unmet need, which hasn’t changed in the last 3 decades.

Combination products are therapeutic products that combine drugs, devices, and/or biological products, and hence don’t neatly fall into a single category: devices, or drugs etc, which are regulated by different centers or authorities that specialize in these categories.   As technological advances continue to merge product types and blur the historical lines of separation between FDA’s medical product centers, combination products raise challenging regulatory and management challenges.  With the FDA’s primary responsibility of eliminating risk to the general public from medical products, it is all not uncommon for the FDA to adopt the most conservative process that strains the budgets of smaller, more nimble and innovative companies developing products, effectively delaying the commercial release of new products.

Elute is proud to have been granted a fast-track “de novo” pathway for its novel combination product.  As we understand it, this not only was this a historic industry first for FDA authorization of a fast-track deNovo regulatory pathway for a combination device + drug product but was also one of the fastest approvals of an IDE study.

1. INTRODUCTION

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed education forever.

The e-Learning & online training Management system has been developed to override the problems prevailing in practicing the current manual system which was highlighted since last year, due to COVID-19 healthcare crisis.

• The COVID-19 has resulted in schools shut all across the world. Globally, over 1.2 billion children in 186 countries are out of the classroom since last 2 years.

• As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning,  whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms.

• Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes corona virus have caused might be here to stay.

Even before COVID-19, there was already high growth and adoption in education technology, with global Ed-tech investments reaching US$18.66 billion in 2019 and the overall market for online education projected to reach $350 Billion by 2025. Whether it is language Apps, virtual tutoring, video conferencing tools or online learning software, there has been a significant surge in usage since COVID 19.

The online training & eLearning system is supported to eliminate and in few cases reduce the hardships faced by the existing classroom systems. Moreover it will ensure the student / entrepreneur / Small & Medium Enterprises (SME) can carry out their higher studies or business operations in a smooth & effective manner and reach their goals faster with trusted sources in the Middle East region.

We plan a user-friendly online training distant learning program, say an eLearning Management system as it will be free, secure, and have reliable & compiled technical information data which is duly validated from various industry sources and scalable with all the computer technologies. This will ensure the students can focus on the core activities of eLearning, understand & reach the Middle east market rapidly.  This would ensure University students / entrepreneurs or SME can focus on learning  & optimize better utilization of their resources as only a smart-phone or a PC with internet access is required to complete our eLearning Management system.

There are however, challenges to overcome. Every Learning Management system has challenges to compile, overcome & manage right information, Students data,  refine Course content, Q&A, tests, reports etc.. It is taken care of by using the standard online training platform of GOOGLE CLASSROOM by Garje Marathi Global, USA account.

We also plan to extend our distant learning program not only to Indian Students but also plan for children in the State of Palestine & Iraq directly or through U.N. and Arab Open Universities channel as a Teacher training digital platform. The current situation in Palestine & Iraq will need many Teachers & students to get access to online Training validated and compiled data resources. The focus will not be on

technologies but rather on the role of the Teacher as a facilitator and a source of technical information to the science students or entrepreneurs in Palestine & Iraq too.

I believe this peer-to-peer approach by digital linking the Palestine & Iraq Teachers & students alike with United Nations existing programs, will be a proven way to  motivate, encourage and mobilize the educational community and serve the  vision & mission of the Garje Marathi Global in the education segment.

2. ABSTRACT

The purpose of our Online training & e-Learning Management system is to  automate the existing manual / classroom courses with the help of computerized systems so that valuable technical information is compiled & validated from various worldwide sources, stored, retrieved & updated periodically without any hardware/software upgrade resources & relative costs so as to be readily available to all the University Students / Entrepreneurs / SME (enterprises) who wish to venture into the Middle East region.

There is evidence that distant online learning can be more effective in a number of ways. Some research shows that on average, students retain 25-60% more material when learning online compared to only 8-10% in a classroom. This is mostly due to the students being able to learn faster online; e-learning requires 40-60% less time to learn than in a traditional classroom setting because students can learn at their own pace, going back and re-reading, skipping, or accelerating  through concepts as they choose.

Our customized e-learning management system would be secure, reliable with validated content, periodic updates and a scalable learning system which will ensure better utilization of resources and students’ time, as our course content will ensure the students are not distracted by the market information that is irrelevant while still being able to access the latest information on the subject matter.

Our aim is to provide compiled information covering industrial & management training activities, ICT related information pertaining to the Middle East market through our subject matter experts and the non-profit organizations who are renowned in the world of validated information and online training & E-learning programs covering the energy (oil & gas), academics, construction, aviation, healthcare, IT & Communications (ICT), utilities (water & electricity) and Homeland Security sector in the Middle East mainly G.C.C. region.

Our training programs are designed to adapt to the current Middle East market information  & technologies available and can assist a student or entrepreneur in strategic planning and ensure he/she is equipped with right level of information for the market region he wants to invest or learn in near future.

3. OBJECTIVES

The main objective basically of our online eLearning project will ensure how the student/entrepreneur would attain the right market info. of the Middle East region through our Training programs on selective topics of Industrial & Management Training , ICT activities and Technical information solutions adapted in the Middle East (G.C.C.) region mainly. This will increase their Knowledgebase, understand the current market needs and find better services for his product/services and also enhance services for its clients in the G.C.C. region mainly. Our designed & customized course content with G.C.C. market information and analytics and planned Assignments shall help the student/entrepreneur / SME to increase efficiency on the markets and industry they plan to serve. To get the full benefit of online learning, there needs to be a concentrated effort to provide this structure with critical knowledge & insights and go beyond replicating a physical class/lecture through ICT capabilities, instead, using a range of collaboration tools and engagement methods that promote “inclusion, personalization and  intelligence” through our carefully designed customized content for the G.C.C. region.

4. SCOPE OF PROJECT

To collect & share validated technical information which is simple & sensible to understand and evaluate the G.C.C. market in terms of eLearning process related to Industrial & Management related courses & ICT sector.

Our project aims at business process automation i.e. using the GOOGLE CLASSROOM platform for ease of e-learning methodologies where the existing resources can be easily scaled to the various students / entrepreneurs periodically with periodic updates to our content management system.

Our course program will ensure the students have learnt the importance of online training / eLearning in today’s business scenario, access trusted & critical information and insights on our reputed eLearning platform & find a good interface to expand its business activities on the Garje Marathi Global platform.

5. FEATURES OF PROJECT

We plan to use a SQA strategy for our software quality plan.

This means in the first step we shall introduce the online training / eLearning concept and its benefits based on matrix of reliability, content, scalability, portability & technologies available.

The second step would be to identify and focus on the key industry segments from Energy, Academics, Construction, Utilities etc to Security sector and the current trends in the market to identify and ensure rapid expansion and development for the client current needs.

The third step is to identify current business risks for entrepreneurs / SME in the various planned business segment and find our deliverables and rank the risks from high to low to ensure max. efficiency and possible growth in the post COVID era in the G.C.C. region.

Our Course content studies will ensure the entrepreneurs/SME knowledgebase will be focused on the current G.C.C market needs and flow along with the new 2025 vision of the middle east countries with key Course content required for theirtarget industry with easy & fast retrieval of information, well designed data, decrease the student time and access to market information which is updated periodically.

All the software features of Google classroom on content and data-security, cloud hosting will be maintained through a robust User Login Account system with appropriate validation criteria and other data pertinent which will remain confidential.

Garje Marathi Global will not request any online payment information to access the course content but will ensure our content is not forwarded or copied in the public domain, prior our written content or permission.

6. COURSE CATEGORIES

We plan to divide our online course content on the following main topics from various validated non-profit organization & industry experts like ASTM, ASME, API, BSI, IHSMARKIT, IEEE, ISO etc and related industry experts within the global industry. We will only provide the guidelines & key topics within the Course titles and not the actual complete training program which is normally a 7 days /week program at a cost. Hyperlinks will be provided for a direct course contact accordingly.

Our Main COURSE TOPICS would focus on the needs of the Middle East region mainly categorized as:

1. INDUSTRIAL & MANAGEMENT COURSES - Operations & Maintenance, HSE, General Services, QMS, Soft skills.

2. ICT COURSES - I.T. & Cyber security info.

3. CONSTRUCTION info. services – BIM (Building Info. modeling) & Standards

4. ENGINEERING STANDARDS MANAGEMENT – compliance & benefits, e-books

5. AUGUMENTED REALITY (AR) / VIRTUAL REALITY (VR) and Smart Glasses applications

6. SAFE & SMART cities – various Security applications & smart technologies.

Our G.C.C. (Gulf cooperation council) industries covered for the above market business segments shall be mainly be in the Energy (Oil &Gas- upstream & downstream, Petrochemicals), Academics, Aviation, Construction, ICT (IT & Communications), Utilities (elec. & water), Security & Defense industry.

7. IDENTIFICATION & IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

The identification need for online training / eLearning has been highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic more throughout the world, but more in the G.C.C. region which was not enabled for e-commerce concept, as still the old manual & paper system was being used by the govt. agencies. It was suffering from a series of technical drawbacks inclusive of managing & accessing the validated data in timely manner, usage of high resources and costs, high maintenance and retrieving the information was very tedious and lengthy process. Even if the information was found, it was required to go thru different departments manually for re-documentation and approvals and was not error-free with zero periodic industry updates. Based on the above shortfalls and for timely decision-making, it was the need to have online information portals, access to e-commerce, linkage to various govt. agencies online, faster compilation and analysis of raw data, quicker M.I.S. reports and reach higher public or customers locally and globally.  Because of this, people in the Middle East region focused on Online Training / e-Learning methodologies and became creative and social while minimizing contact in current crisis. Video chat became a staple for team meetings and distant education with virtual life activities in rise. This shift could mean big things for the VR (Virtual Reality), ICT and Smart technologies in the region.

Following form of content will be considered for the above 6 categories of COURSE TOPICS-

- Power point presentations

- Current industry insights

- G.C.C. market current trends on online training / distant Edu-tech

- AR/VR for virtual training and Smart Glasses concept - .ppt & videos

The duration of each 6 COURSE TITLES title can vary between 10-30 slides with all text /images /videos /Hyperlinks  to knowledgebase and actual Course carefully  analyzed, compiled content from worldwide industry leaders with a hyperlink to actual training course with a cost (optional). The entire duration of the eLearning course can vary from 30 min – 60 min. on main or sub-course titles or more in each COURSE TITLE category.

No prior knowledge of the topic will be assumed and few training materials would  be available for download. Please. note the actual Training conducted by the professional organizations like ASTM, ASME, API, BSI, ISO, IHSMARKIT are subject to be charged and should be directly contacted.

8. CONCLUSION

Our Project is only a humble venture to satisfy the needs of various Indians at the University level / Entrepreneurs / Small & Medium scale industries (SME) who wish to learn, understand the benefits of Online Training / eLearning methodologies and implement them for the G.C.C. region. This program will ensure numerous students/entrepreneurs will be benefited in case they would like to tap the market potential in/within the middle-east region.

We shall introduce & include hyperlinks to key training organizations worldwide that provide industry validated certification and Accreditation (directly with costs).

The entire course user interface and security issues related to system shall be as per  the standard operating procedures of Google Classroom services. We firmly believe that periodic updated and course content enhancements & insights we provide, will increase the value-addition of the technical information through our eLearning Management system and in future too will keep updating  & implementing the same with a wider regional base.

What has been made clear through this pandemic is the importance of disseminating knowledge across borders, companies, and all parts of society. If online learning technology can play a role here, it is incumbent upon all of us to explore its full potential.

Based on my industry experience of over 27 years in Kuwait, I have made considerable efforts to prepare and compile this validated content & wish to thank all the people and key organizations involved in this process directly or indirectly. I sincerely hope the eLearning project will serve its purpose for which it was developed by Garje Marathi Global and shall be a great success.

A philanthropist in UAE, supplies free oxygen cylinders back home

Dubai: Rising to the need of the hour, an Indian expatriate has organised several container loads of oxygen cynlinders and concetrators, approximately worth over Dh1 million, for India, free of cost.

Dr Sanjay Paithankar, a dedicated doctor and philanthropist from the UAE, has shipped about 600 oxygen concentrators and 200 cylinders with medical oxygen in the first consigment that is likely to reach the Indian shores in the next 15 days. Of these, about 150 oxygen concentrators have been air-lifted and will reach Nagpur by May 8.

Speaking to Gulf News about his Save India mission, Dr Paithankar said, “As soon as I heard about the oxygen shortage in my home town Nagpur and the Vidarbha region in Maharastra, I decided to reach out to like-minded friends there to see how we could all help. The response was quick and magnanimous and many contributed generously. In fact, one wealthy buinsessman who wished to remain anonymous, contributed 250 concentrators, in this consignment,” said Dr Paithankar who has personally chipped in a sum of Dh200,000 to organise the concentrators and cylinders.

Since there is a shortage of concetrators and oxygen cylinders, sourcing them was a challenge. Dr Paithankar said, “I decided to source the cylinders and concentrators from around the world to reach India as quickly as possible. I was finally able to source these in China and the first consignment will be in Mumbai via Thailand and Singapore in the next 15 days. For the next batches, I am working to air-lift the cargo for quicker delivery and these efforts are ongoing. I have started this work and will do my best to serve my motherland to the best of my capacity,” said Dr Paithankar, who has spent three decades in the UAE. A large portion of thisn period has been dedicated to providing affordable health care to the underprivileged in the UAE.

Reaching out to the sick and needy

A recipient of the 10-year Golden Visa, Dr Paithankar is the managing director of Right Health Group that provides affordable health care to the doorstep of the labour workforce of UAE with over the clinics across Dubai and Northern Emirates. By charging a subsidised price for consultation, treatment and medicines in the last 32 years, he has made it possible for blue-collar workers to get complete access to quality health care within their basic health insurance. Where the worker is unable to meet the expense of co-payment, Dr Paithankar has never turned away a worker from getting the medical help he requires.

Battling early COVID-19 transmission

During the earliest phase of the outbreak of COVID-19 in the UAE in March 2020, Dr Paithankar and his health care team played a very crucial role by organising free screening camps for all blue collar workers to prevent transmisison and spread of the disease.

In the earliest stages when people in the UAE were still discovering the lethal impact of the COVID-19, Dr Paithankar joined hands with the Dubai Health Authority and Dubai Police to assist them in screening all blue collar workers. It was a mammoth task which required a lot of manpower as several thousand blue collar workes, the weakest chain in the link, had to be screened, diagnosed, quarnatined or hosptialised.

COVID-19 screening

DHA and Dubai Police had set up medical screening camps near various labour camps in early March 2020. At such a juncture, when there was strong need for health care workers to step up and come forward to offer their services, one man decided to brush aside all other concerns for self-preservation and collaborate extensively and unconditionally with the government.

With clinics located close to all labour camps, Dr Paithankar and health care workers had the best accessibility and reach to the workers. “This was my way of giving back to the UAE, a country that has given me so much in the last three decades. I decided to collaborate with the government and offer my services right away as DHA and Dubai Police set up the screening tents near the labour camps at Dubai Investment Park, Jebel Ali, Al Quoz and right up to the emirate of Ajman in all our 25 Right Health clinics.”

This was a nascent period when information about the virus was still very limited. Dr Paithankar added, “At that moment, we had no idea of how lethal the virus was and we were using the basic protective equipment. We would screen all those who came with symptoms of cough, cold and fever. Those who fit the profile of being infected with COVID-19 were sent for testing to DHA designated centres. We worked closely with the authorities and were screening up to 3,500 workers per day. Of these, nearly 200-300 were sent for RT-PCR testing as in those days, the PCR test was a new diagnostic tool and was limited to a few places. At all the camps, we were putting in long hours during the earliest days of the pandemic. I had recruited extra staff and cancelled annual leave of all my staff and we were putting in over 14 hours of work per day, from 9am to 11pm,” recounted the doctor.

Controlling community transmissions

It was this rapid screening, segregation and isolation which proved to be very effective in those early days in controlling community transmission rates. In the next three months, as the government set up field hospitals, designated hotels etc, it became easier to grade patients into mild, moderate and severe cases. Those who had mild conditions could isolate at hotel rooms, while those who were moderately affected were sent to field hospitals and those who were in severe or critical conditions and required ventilator support were admitted into the COVID-19 Intensive Care Units of hospitals. However, early mass testing of blue-collar workers went a long way in containing the infection rate.

Over 300,000 workers screened from March-May 2020, free of cost

“In those three months from March to May 2020, we helped screen over 300,000 blue collar workers across all our 25 clinics and about five per cent of these required hospital admissions,” added Dr Paithankar.

Today, with the worst of the pandemic behind him, Dr Paithankar and his team continues to serve the workers with heavily subsidised health packages. “We try to make the entire package as affordable to the worker without compromising on the quality of service. From consultation to diagnostics to medication, we provide packages from Dh9 to Dh120, all-inclusive. In most cases, the workers’ Essential Basic Plan (EBP) is able to cover this cost. Wherever we find workers unable to pay, because they are in between jobs or their health insurance has expired, I never charge them at all. I let them avail the treatment and I must commend the integrity of these workers who actually always make it a point to come and repay their outstanding amount whenever they are reinstated into jobs or have the money,” said Dr Paithankar.

Right Health is able to cater to about 100,000 workers per month and about 1.2 million annually, at the moment. “We aim to work more efficiently and take this number up to 1.8 million by 2022,” explained Dr Paithankar.

“The doctors who we hire have a vast body of experience and are experts at taking detailed case histories and prescribing only tests that are essential. In fact, we monitor the number of tests a doctor prescribes and incentivise those who have success with patients with lower number of prescribed tests. This helps in keeping the cost down. We try and offer all other subsidies that accrue to us as a group to the workers. This has worked to the benefit of workers,” added Dr Paithankar.

All-woman pharmacy at Muhaisnah

The group has also set up an all-women pharmacy in Muhaisnah, Dubai, this month. “We decided to have this all-woman pharmacy as we realised that many female workers employed in hotels, saloons etc had several inhibitions discussing their health care issues with male pharmacists. Providing female pharmacists has helped these female workers to share their health issues and be more open about seeking medical help. We have a female service staff of five, two in the morning and two in the evening. The pharmacy is open right from 7am up to 11pm,” said Dr Paithankar.

Sanjay Paithankar, a doctor and philanthropist who settled in Dubai several decades ago, has organised oxygen concentrators and cylinders worth 2.5 lakh dollars to be shipped to Nagpur over by 08 May 2021.

“I formed a WhatsApp group of Indians in Dubai to see how we can help our city of origin…Several people magnanimously responded and we have organised 600 oxygen concentrators and 200 cylinders, which will be together worth 2.5 lakh dollars, including shipment charges,” Paithankar said

Accepting a job offer with a German company to work in India – My Reflections

In 2006, I completed my master’s degree in Mechatronics from University of Siegen in Germany. After working for 20 months in Germany, I decided to work for a German company as Operations Manager to set up their manufacturing facility for producing a wide variety of metal false ceilings and lighting systems.

Here are some of my key learnings:

• The sheer thrill of getting to do something I had never done before motivated me to take up this opportunity to challenge myself. Just the thought of the multi-disciplinary requirements and the underlying knowhow necessary to establish a manufacturing unit was daunting.
• I focused on preparing a high-level overview of the deliverables for every department and breaking it down into manageable tasks which could then be delegated further and executed.
• As an Indian who studied in Germany, when I went back to India to work for a German organization, I played many roles besides the official job title.
• The key advantage for me was an early start at a managerial role with a German organization.
• Key challenge: setting up a business as per the German standards in Haryana.
• Key achievement:
  • I set up the manufacturing facility and made it fully functional over a span of 7 years with a team of 30 people + 10 contract laborers.
  • I joined back the parent company in Germany.

After working in Germany, if you are thinking of working in India (short or long term), go for it. It could be an enriching experience for you as well as our motherland.

Amit Waikar: From Flavors of India & Fragrances of China

Amit Waikar builds Vasudaiva Kutumbakam across The Great Wall

• Amit Waikar, Managing Director of Döhler ASEAN was one of the youngest winners of Pravasi Bharatiya Samman for his outstanding achievements in business and cosmopolitan initiatives.
• China’s focus on creating facilitating infrastructure funded by Government even from the 80s has led to growth in FDI and industries
• India holds huge scope in developing its flavours and fragrances industry 

Amit Waikar represents a generation of a self-driven spirited individual who went on to make a mark in the high echelons of the Indian corporate world with a value that is fundamentally Indian yet cosmopolitan. Presently the Managing Director - ASEAN at Döhler Group, Amit Waikar wears his accomplishments with an air of disarming honesty while his innate verve makes a definite impact. He is also one of the youngest winners of Pravasi Bharatiya Samman. 

Amit Waikar grew up in the ‘erstwhile small town’ Nagpur, which set his outlook towards life and to make a difference without being forcefully so.   The formative years were honed by the presence of his father, Dr Vinay Waikar, an ex-army man and the second anesthesiologist in Nagpur. “What you do for a career or what you do for a living is important, but that should not define you the way you are, instead what matters is the legacy one wants to leave behind”, Amit maintains.

Urkoon Taka: Building Fundamentals

Born to a family of doctors, with his mother Dr Vina Waikar being a well-known gynaecologist and two elder sisters practising medicine, Amit developed anguish for studying medicine and also ‘rebelled’ with the idea of becoming an engineer. After passing out from one of the most prestigious schools in Nagpur when Waikar enrolled for a BSc degree in Environmental Science with English Literature as an additional subject, he was met with little resistance from his broad-minded parents. Though on one occasion on his mother’s bidding, his father took Waikar to meet Dr Shrikant Jichkar - the man holding the record for maximum degrees, and then Home Minister of Maharashtra. The idea was to get Amit admitted to a medical college which did not work out finally. 

Amit Waikar remembers, “BSc or BA, I had no clue of what I wanted to do.”  Amit met his future wife Aparna, who motivated him for enrolling in MBA, and Amit completed his MBA in Nagpur. At this point, Amit admits his “friend, philosopher and guide” Dr Shrikant Shorghore, a well-known paediatrician in Nagpur offered to write a letter of recommendation to someone he knew in Mumbai for Amit’s job opportunity. Dr Shrikant Shorghore also advised Amit to follow the Marathi “Urkoon Taka” principle which means “to get things completed”. 

From International Flavors & Fragrances to Döhler

The gentleman Dr Shorghore had sent the referral was Sunil Doronde, the Managing Director of International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF). It was 1992, the Indian economy was opening up to welcome MNCs, and with no idea about flavour and fragrances segment, Amit Waikar joined IFF as Market Research Executive. Amit explains, “When people think of flavours and fragrances, people think of fine fragrances associated with brands like GUCCI, PRADA, CK and the rest. But that is only ten per cent of the segment. Ninety per cent of it is about fragrances for soap, detergent, talcum powder and that makes up for the bulk. 

There is a complete set of companies not known to many for they, being on the B2B side, including the famed S.H.Kelkar & Co. Ltd. a third-generation India brand.” Amit Waikar’s progression in IFF began when he was given the responsibility of key account manager of Hindustan Lever Limited, managing the account for India and subsequently for Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. All this while, Amit was learning the nuances about fragrances, the technicalities and its business.

After a little more than four years with IFF, Amit Waikar was approached by Döhler for the position of Regional Sales Manager. The following years saw Amit Waikar managing accounts for India and South East Asia and two-and-half years at Döhler headquarters in Germany. This followed what Amit Waikar mentions as “a wonderful stint of eleven years in China.”

Arriving in Shanghai, Waikar started by managing the global accounts of the Asia Pacific region for Döhler and, he is today operating from Bangkok leading the ASEAN market as its Managing Director. Amit Waikar says, “The experience is never less than exciting. I think there is a lot of action that is going to happen in the ASEAN market. There will be pockets of extremely high growth and every market has its dynamics. This is going to be a mixed bag of learning, leadership and dealing with unique challenges.”

Amit’s stay in China was not just all about corporate leadership and business growth. One aspect that set Waikar apart from the rest was his significant role as a community builder and supporter of the Indian community in China. Essentially a humanist, he was conferred the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award, the highest honour conferred on overseas Indians by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. Amit Waikar’s instance is also unique in a certain way, as he was not nominated by Indian Embassy from China and he being the first Indian to be awarded this distinction from mainland China. The journey to this height began when Amit Waikar started attending the events of the Indian Association in China. 

Amit Waikar remembers, “While attending these events which were grand and spectacular, I sensed something still amiss. Probably it is my Nagpur upbringing; I intuitively felt the absence of connection with the community. They were all typically elite events where the common Indian living in China never felt to be part of such association. After one such event on our drive back home, I disclosed my concerns to my wife Aparna. She made a point for me to become an active change-maker instead of being on the sidelines and complain about the shortcoming.” Aparna Waikar’s assertion stayed on with him. 

Indian Association for Indians in China

So after a couple of months, not even being a board member of the association, he nominated himself in the election for the president’s post. His friends played a key role and went for canvassing to the members of the Indian community who were not yet a part of the association and they became members just to vote for Amit. His vision for making the Indian Association accessible to every single Indian in China for any and every kind of concern and aid was widely felt like a primer to a change. The year was 2013, Waikar was elected the president of the Indian Association.

During his tenure, Amit Waikar successfully initiated the blood donation campaigns, a rather uncommon social practice among Chinese people. This very Indian ethos was put to action and Indians donated blood for the Chinese people, a mark of service to their host nation and present India’s time-honoured eternal ideal of “Vasudaiva Kutumbakam”. Cricket tournaments, Diwali celebrations and cultural programs were planned with the distinctive Indian cultural feel. 

Amit & Aparna Waikar

In 2015 Amit received a call from The Hon’ble Counsel General asking for the Indian Association to host a community event during the forthcoming visit of The Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi. Amit Waikar connected with the community through the network he had built and all Indians were excited and involved themselves to give Modiji a grand welcome.

The challenge was to bring all Indians in China together, which under the leadership of Amit Waikar, from a count of seven hundred, seven thousand Indians were waiting to greet The Prime Minister of India, at the iconic Shaghai Expo Centre on 15th May. Amit Waikar, being at the helm of this civic reception, received Modiji, greeted him and introduced the members of the Indian Association to The Prime Minister. It was not just connecting Indians in Shanghai but also about Indians from other cities and districts of China. 

In 2019 Amit Waikar was awarded Pravasi Bharatiya Samman at Varanasi, for his contributions for building a strong Indian community in China. The Indian Association in China works towards understanding problems and providing social, legal, medical and institutional support to every Indian individual living in China even in the remotest of cities. The foundation to such activities was cemented during Amit Waikar’s tenure and today he continues to be a senior board member of The Indian Association. 

Biggest Political Enemies & Largest Economic Partners

Talking about the business lessons from China, Waikar notes, “Firstly, China has built an entire universe of manufacturing through an amazing way what the world calls ‘copying’, but China calls it ‘inspiration’. So even in the eighties and nineties, there were the so-called innovation centres, research labs that were set up. They were entirely government-owned where a product or component was completely dismantled with the objective to understand the technology, and the information gathered was given free of cost to the entrepreneurs to develop it further.

Secondly, at that point in time, the funding for manufacturing business was easily available. Thirdly, when China opened its economy and welcomed FDI, they had the infrastructure made readily available, not that the infra was developed alongside or afterwards. So, what was claimed was not mere words but actions, investors took no time to channel the funds to China.” 

Another important thing to understand about China is that it operates as an organization. Amit Waikar says that the system is such that every five years, each provincial head of China requires to present results in terms of employment generation, getting companies involved or getting the infrastructure and network more robust. Amazing power in decision making is also given to the authorities to meet their respective goals. Waikar adds, “China is all about clusters. There is a cluster for each segment like there are clusters for automobile, chemical, rubber, furniture etc. This results in an area where twenty to thirty companies producing same products with a consolidated infrastructure of the workforce, technology, suppliers and OEMs.” 

But the great learning Amit had in China is that “its biggest political enemies are its largest economic partners”. He cites the example of economic and trade cooperation between China and Japan or even the same with its trade ties with Taiwan and the USA. The fundamental idea is to keep the economic growth of the nation despite the political differences. 

Speaking of the opportunities of the Indian companies in China, Amit Waikar observes, there is ample opportunity for Indian iron ore, coffee and similar products, spices, fisheries and fruit products. He says, ”Another aspect one should never forget is the Indian skill and talent pool. Indians leading China’s pharmaceutical companies is a case in the point.” 

And finally, Amit Waikar draws attention to the fact that all MNCs are now having China-Plus-One policies triggered by SAARs and, now COVID19. The idea is to establish one or two non-Chinese locations for manufacturing.  “Are we ready to offer tangible support to welcome those MNCs?” Amit wonders. But being a firm believer of vision, foresight and commitment Waikar is confident that it quite possible for India to achieve these goals. 

Huge Opportunity for India: Fragrance & Flavor Industry

Speaking of the industry Amit Waikar has dedicated his career, Fragrance and Flavor or F&F as it is commonly known, he says, “Though it is not a well-known segment in India, the industry is quite big, very well managed and an industry driven by professionals. India always had a legacy of fragrances, but it was never an organized one. After the economic liberalization in the nineties, F&F got a major boost. So today all the F&F leaders of the world like Givaudan, Firmenich, Symrise and IFF and many more are actually manufacturing their products in India and generating employment.” 

Amit Waikar feels there is a need to train people in the field of F&F at the university levels. The bulk of F&F is associated with beverages and fruit juices. China is presently supplying eighty per cent of chemical products that goes into making finer fragrances in F&F. “India holds a major potential to start the processing of fruit juices. The focus should be on fruit cultivation and processing. There is a scope for the Indian entrepreneurship to take F&F in beverages to the global level is huge indeed”, Amit Waikar explains. 

All the while in the world of business and trade, Amit Waikar works to give back to the society that has nurtured him to be the man he is today. With active support from his family and friends, he is associated with Deepstambh Foundation in Jalgaon where the plan is to build Asia’s largest hostel and training centre especially for the differently-abled, the tribal people and the socially marginalized children above eighteen years of age and train them to be leaders of future. “And this has helped me to answer the unfounded criticism about my Motherland that it is land of potential and no actualization. I have at least participated to bring about a change however minuscule it may be,” reflects Amit Waikar.

Chitra Sawant’s Blog …. At Garje Marathi Global

….At Garje Marathi Global, they build careers and lives of aspiring minds 

“Supporting the youth evolve, defines our purpose,” said Anand Ganu as he made vivid his organisation, Garje Marathi Global (GMG) Inc goals, which has 60 domain experts grooming over 150 students the world over. “In fact, it’s so important that it’s part of Garje Marathi’s mission – to be a catalyst for change, growth, and a better future,” mentions Ganu, as he shares enthusiastically about the organisation which he had co-founded with his life partner Suneeta in 2016.

Ganu, a successful businessman, with a background in the pharma sector, following his retirement found a new passion connecting with exemplary Marathi-speaking people across the globe, documenting their stories of triumph and connecting all of them together. This was a start of an interesting journey, soon his passion could lead to two epic books, Garje Marathi part 1 and part 2, bringing forth the lives of 70 illustrious Maharashtrians spread across the globe. 

Though he himself comes from an old school of thought, which believes in ‘doing good and forgetting all about it’, which is a typical trait known among Maharashtrians, however, he also understands that there is a dire need, that people talk about their success and achievements. The vigorous web connecting these limelight shy eminent Maharashtrians evolved into Garje Marathi Global Inc, a non-profit organisation. 

Padma Vibhushan Raghunath Anant Mashelkar and Padma Vibhushan Avinash Dixit are some of the prominent personalities on its advisory board. “GMG trains, coaches, mentors aspiring minds through education and counselling for building their better future. Several domain experts have willingly come forward to share their expertise wholeheartedly with the youth, said Ganu. Effective planning, efficient delivery systems, a collaborative approach with partners, and mentoring provided with integrity, compassion, competence have resulted in an increasing number of beneficiaries.

Ganu, based out of California, works round the clock attending online meetings with his counterparts in 30 international cities. It keeps Ganu on his toes and secures GMG’s position among the world’s richest organisations, in terms of the availability of talent and expertise. Developing entrepreneurship skill is one area GMG has been concentrating on,  which has been receiving a tremendous response, and so is Saksham, their project where they are making available electronic devices to facilitate online education to children coming from underprivileged communities in Maharashtra. 

“Maharashtrians settled abroad or even staying outside of Maharashtra have always operated as silos in their own locations and focussed primarily on developing traditional, cultural, and entertainment aspects related to the community,” said Sudhir Kadam, an Innovation and Growth Strategist. Kadam, who has been actively engaged in mentoring aspirants associated with GMG, mentioned that there was a dire need for mentoring and networking to help people at the professional level to help them succeed in their chosen endeavor - whether it is business, employment, research, or education.

 “Anand Ganu was quick to notice this need and formed GMG, which has been receiving great support from those who believed in his vision, which aims at providing networking, mentoring, and educational support to help people succeed. The best part is that it is done with the sole motive of paying-it-forward and there are no joining fees, subscriptions, or program fees,” added Kadam. 

Shalmali Gadgil, a second-year Biotechnology student at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, narrating her experience after contacting GMG and Mr. Ganu, said that she could instantly connect with domain experts who have been extremely supportive to her. Shalmali was all praise about Dr. Manoj Jadhav, “With Dr. Jadhav's help and introduction I could manage to secure myself a spot to work as a lab research assistant with one of his old colleague (Dr. Song) at the University of Florida this summer,” she added. 

Dr. Milind Medhekar, who leads the Australia chapter of Garje Marathi said, “Anandji has almost single-handedly united highly qualified, talented, competent Marathi-speaking domain experts from across the globe, who are passionately volunteering to share their knowledge and expertise with aspiring students and entrepreneurs in India."

Mandar Bichhu, Sharjah Doctor creates a Tendulkar Museum

 24 April is Sachin Tendulkar’s birthday, and this year, on that day, one ardent admirer of his, came up with a unique birthday gift – TendulkarCricket.Com, the first-ever web museum dedicated to the Master Blaster. The unique website archives videos of Tendulkar’s all the memorable cricket performances, his interviews, his personal tweets and YouTube videos, tributes paid to him by his fellow cricketers, and blogs analyzing his cricketing legacy. To borrow a quote from the site’s intro- ‘It archives everything that is to cherish about the man, his matchless game, and his endearing persona.’ TendulkarCricket.Com (https://tendulkarcricket.com ) is the concept and the creation of Dr. Mandar V. Bichu, a Sharjah, UAE-based pediatrician, author, journalist, and web-content-creator. Dr. Mandar is also the founder-editor of Cinemasangeet.Com, RightParenting.Com, HealthVideoTips.Com and LataOnline.Com .

Explaining his thoughts on the project, Dr. Mandar said, “Sachin Tendulkar entered the cricket field as a wonder-kid and rose to be a cricketing genius. From 1989 to 2013, for 24 years, Sachin Tendulkar dominated world cricket and rewrote its history. His multitude of records redefined what could be achieved on the field, and, set up new benchmarks. But more than his on-field heroics and all the accolades that followed, his off-field connect with the millions of cricket-lovers, and the emotional sway his performances held on their collective consciousness, made him special.” “He became cricket’s biggest icon, and his mass appeal played a major role in making the game a multimillion-dollars global industry. More importantly big money and big expectations never came in the way of his passion, dedication and commitment for the game, and his ability to keep scaling new peaks.” “TendulkarCricket.Com is my way of saying ‘Thank You’ to this wonderful player. This is an archive that will present the momentous Tendulkar-era in its full glory and will make us re-live the joy and pride that Tendulkar gave through his cricketing performances.” TendulkarCricket.Com (https://tendulkarcricket.com) is a one-stop repository of videos, blogs and photographs to understand Sachin Tendulkar, the cricketing and socio-cultural phenomenon. It is a must-visit site for all Sachin-fans, and all cricket-lovers." "Public archives or museums serve to record history for posterity for future generations. Digital platform offers a chance of making such museums more easily, and it also makes them accessible to people from all parts of the world. In 2015, I made a web museum on Indian melody queen Lata Mangeshkar, and this year, I created one on Sachin Tendulkar. Both these individuals, through their outstanding contribution in their respective fields, became legends in their lifetime and received India's highest honor Bharat Ratna. I am very happy and proud that I could do extensive web archives on both these jewels of India." Dr. Mandar concluded

Neha Virkar: Voluntary Community Interpreter in Germany

I am a Mumbaiker, who has grown up speaking multiple languages. Never did I think that I would be selected to work as a voluntary community Interpreter with City of Ingelheim in Germany.

Parle Tilak Vidyalay – Marathi Madhyam is my school. Ruparel college Arts stream was my next choice to complete my BA in English. I am awarded with the Gold Medal from University of Mumbai for securing the highest marks in BA examination. I am deeply thankful to all my teachers.

During my graduate studies, I started learning German- a subject to score more marks 😊 I continued to learn it in Max Mueller Bhavan, Mumbai and learnt it intensively for 3 years. Max Mueller Bhavan offered me a scholarship to study in Germany for one month. German Academic Exchange Center (DAAD) organizes Literature Competition every year. The topic given was ‘Identities’. Participants were free to write – a story, a drama, a poem or any other literary genre. I wrote a poem and was awarded by yet another scholarship to study in Germany for a month.

My Masters was in German and I chose to do it at the Ohio State University, USA because the OSU offered me full scholarship and an opportunity to teach German to the undergraduate students for 2 years. This was the most challenging assignment. I am a non-native speaker. So, the students were not ready to believe that I could teach them the language that was foreign to me. We proved that the language skills are not inherited by birth, they are acquired by practice😊

These years were fun. But when the time came to live and work in Germany, I experienced that:

• Language is a cultural element and is embedded in socio-cultural, historical background. People may uses, ab-uses, mis-use it in the social transaction.
• Situations such as being hospitalized, dealing with government authorities, applying for work permit, residency permit require exceptional communication skills.

There is a great demand for people with language skills. I decided to offer my language skills by taking the role of a voluntary community interpreter. The Migration and Integration office at the City of Ingelheim conducted a seminar to on-board residents of Ingelheim. This seminar focused on skills required while interpreting in complex social situations. The interpreter is involved in the conversation, but needs to stay unbiased. Word-to-word transliteration might not be effective. Additionally, the community interpreters were taught how to interpret jokes, rhetorical questions, anecdotes, abusive words/angry remarks, unfortunate news. This is no simple task involving word-to-word transliteration.

The voluntary interpreters are contacted by the Migration and Integration office to share the information about an upcoming interpretation task. We are neither supposed to share the personal contacts, nor go beyond the assigned task to extend personal help. This can be emotionally distressing in certain situations. So, the Migration and Integration office has kindly offered counselling services to interpreters, who feel stressed.

Through this assignment I have become more humane towards the communication. If you wish to come to Germany to study or to work or to join your spouse, do invest in learning German.

Neha Malshe-Virkar.

Mentee Etiquette Involving Startups

Sudhir Kale PhD

Thought Leader | Researcher | Consultant | Keynote Speaker

Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia

As a professor who has taught on three continents for three decades, I have been fortunate to teach and guide thousands of students across various nationalities. Some students have gone on to create their own successful businesses. I have acted as a formal or informal mentor to several of these entrepreneurs in the early stages of their venture. Since I have been an entrepreneur myself, I can, first-hand, vouch for the enormous value a mentor can provide.

My experience as a mentor has been a mixed bag. Sometimes, it is disheartening to witness a lack of proper demeanor among mentees. Such thoughtless and often unintended behaviors can sour the mentor-mentee relationship, thus depriving the ensuing startup of valuable experience-driven advice. Here are some dos and don'ts for mentees:

1. Do keep the mentor regularly briefed on what's happening in the business. Even if you and the mentor are geographically separated, it makes sense to jump on a Zoom call and share short weekly updates with your mentor. It is not smart etiquette to get in touch with your mentor only when you are desperate for help.
2. If you are going to be offering any financial incentives to the mentor, make these explicit in writing and in agreement with the mentor. Stick with your commitments. The mentor may not necessarily need your money, but providing some tangible incentive signals to the mentor that his/her advice is valued and not taken for granted.
3. Keep proper notes of your discussions with the mentor. It shows that you are taking the relationship and advice seriously.
4. Unless the mentor has specifically agreed to work with you for free, limit the free "exploratory" sessions you have with the mentor. Remember, every relationship has a certain number of credits, and you have to be careful as to when and how you use your credits.
5. Limit your number of mentors and advisors. Having too many advisors indicates that you do not have faith in any one advisor. Besides, the more advisors you have, the greater the chances of getting contradictory advice, thus making the murky startup environment even murkier. The functions of mentorship are to provide illumination and support, not to create confusion and chaos.
6. Involve your mentor in key discussions with venture capitalists and business partners. Having a highly placed mentor makes for a good story, and stories are at least as important in deal making as financial projections.
7. In cases where the mentor's advice conflicts with you own judgement, go with the mentor's view unless you have compelling rationale not to do so. Remember, the mentor has seen the world for a much longer time frame than you have. Mentors, in the first place, should be chosen on the basis of their ability to navigate through the greys and present the world in black and white for purposes of decision making. They understand business nuances and are usually very good at sensing opportunities and danger.

The world of startups is exciting and potentially very rewarding. It is also fraught with dangers and disasters lurking at every turn. Most startups fail not for lack of trying but because the entrepreneurs are not mindful or well-equipped to deal with the intricacies of new ventures. Good mentors are worth their weight in gold for aspiring entrepreneurs. As John Maxwell observed, "One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their (entrepreneurial) destination."

Anant Hari Gadre

अस्पृश्यतेचा हा कलंक मिटवण्यासाठी त्यांनी स्पृश्यास्पृश्य यांचे एकत्रित 'झुणका भाकर सत्यनारायण' आयोजित केले. असे तब्बल साडेतीन हजार सत्यनारायण करून त्यांनी गेल्या शतकात महाराष्ट्र ढवळून काढला. परंतु त्यांच्याबद्दल आज कुणाला फारशी माहिती नाही. '

अनंतराव गद्रे यांनी अनेक क्षेत्रांत मुशाफिरी केली आणि त्या त्या क्षेत्रात आपला स्वतंत्र असा ठसा उमटवला. प्रत्येक क्षेत्रात काम करताना त्यांनी स्वत:ला पूर्ण झोकून दिले. या प्रत्येक क्षेत्रात त्यांनी केलेल्या मुशाफिरीचा आढावा भानू काळे यांनी एकेका प्रकरणात घेतला आहे. पत्रकार, संपादक, नाटककार आणि समाजसुधारक अशा चार क्षेत्रात त्यांनी अफाट कर्तृत्व गाजवले. याबाबत एकेक प्रकरण आणि 'पाऊलखुणा, 'कुटुंबियांच्या नजरेतून', 'व्यक्तिमत्व आणि वारसा' अशा एकूण सात प्रकरणांचे हे चरित्र आहे.

समतानंद अनंत हरी गद्रे' हे त्यांचे चरित्र लिहून सुप्रसिद्ध लेखक भानू काळे यांनी ही उणीव भरून काढली आहे. (Source Maharashtra Times) 

Anant Hari Gadre was the person who coined the word “House Full”, which adorns the closed ticket window of blockbuster movies, and entertainment programs in India and elsewhere in the world.

Anant Hari Gadre was a multifaceted personality. He was special correspondent of Lokmanya Tilak for daily news paper ‘ Sandesh’, he was founder editor of ‘Mauj’ – a popular Marathi publication house, he authored some short duration dramas so as to enable staging drama art to survive the onslaught of short timed movies. It is worth mentioning here that Anant Hari Gadre had chaired ‘Akhil Bhartiya Natya Sammelan’ held in Mumbai in 1930, where he took the charge from Bal Gandharva, who had chaired the Natya Sammelan in previous year.

He is the person who organized more than three thousand ‘Satya Narayan’ Poojas in Maharashtra at the hands of ‘Harijan’ couple, couple from the untouchable casts of yesteryears.

Shri Bhanu Kale – a well known Marathi author -  after a marathon research on the life of Anant Hari Gadre scripted his biography.

Who has read the biography in the audio book? None other than Mr. Dilip Prabhavalkar, the renowned actor of the Marathi stage, television and Marathi, Hindi movies.

The audio book, now available on the platforms as stated below, lucidly narrates the life journey of Anant Hari Gadre.

Salute to Tanuja Deepak Mokashi ( Age 9)  who Donated her long locks to provide wigs for cancer patients and children with hair loss

कॅन्सर पेशंट बरा होण्यामागे केमोथेरपी या उपचारा बरोबरच त्या व्यक्तीची मानसिकता ही किती मोलाची असते नाही का ? मन सकारात्मक राहण्याकरता चेहरा प्रसन्न असणे चेहऱ्यावरील तेज तसेच राहणे हे आवश्यक असते. पण किमोथेरपी या उपचारादरम्यान डोक्यावरील केस पूर्णतः गळून जातात त्यामुळे आरशात बघताच मनाचे खच्चीकरण होते.  मनावर नकारात्मक विचारांचा पगडा वाढतो.  बाहेरील जगात वावरणे, व्यवहार करणे कठीण होऊन जाते व मग पेशंट खचत जातो ह्या परिस्थितीला तोंड देण्यासाठी पेशंट wig  घालून आपल्या चेह-याचे सौंदर्य पुर्ववत ठेवू शकतो. आधीच कॅन्सरची ट्रीटमेंट खर्चिक आणि त्यात हा wig चा खर्च गरजेचा होतो.  अशा वेळी जर उत्तम wig कमी पैशात मिळू लागला तर ते पेशंटला विशेषतः स्त्री वर्गाला विकत घेऊन तो वापरून समाजात वावरणे सोयीचे होईल व मनास उभारी येईल. 

पण निरोगी स्त्रीला स्वतःचे मोठे केस कापून त्याचा त्याग करणे हे रुचेल असे नाही आणि रुचले तरी ते अमलात आणणे तितकेसे सोपे नाही. आमच्या नऊ वर्षाच्या नातीने म्हणजे तनुजा दीपक मोकाशी ने तिची पुण्याची ईशा काकू देवाघरी गेल्यानंतर तिच्या मनातील विचार "आपले लांबसडक काळेभोर केस पेशंटला देऊ शकतो का?  माझे केस कापले तर माझ्या दिसण्यात फरक पडेल पण तेच दुसऱ्या कोणत्या पेशंटला मिळाल्यानंतर त्याला किती आनंद होईल !! मी परत  केस वाढवेन ..  तर मी donate करू शकते का "  असे  प्रश्न विचारून तिची इच्छा बोलून दाखवली एवढ्या लहान वयात तिची ही उत्तम विचारांची मानसिकता तिच्या आई-वडिलांनी केलेल्या संस्कारामुळेअसणार हे जाणवले.  या चिमुरडीने आपले आई-वडील काहीना काही दान करताना पाहिले असणार व त्याचे महत्त्व तिला समजले असेल कारण लहान वयात मुले आई-वडिलांचे अनुकरण करतात.  तिचा हा केस दान करण्याचा मानस तिच्या आई-वडिलांना म्हणजेच माझी मुलगी श्रद्धा व जावई दीपक यांनी ताबडतोब त्यासंबंधीची माहिती गोळा करून तो योग्य पद्धतीने अंमलात आणून आमच्या नातीचे केस दान केले गेले याचे आम्हाला खूप कौतुकही वाटले आनंद वाटला व अभिमान वाटला. 

तिच्याशी बोलल्यावर कळले की तिचे बघून बिल्डिंग मधल्या अजून दोघीनी पण ते केले ह्याचा तिला अजून जास्त अभिमान आहे. आज जर अशा प्रकारे स्त्रीवर्गाने केसांचा त्याग केला तर उत्तम wig खरोखरच स्वस्त होतील व तनुजाचा हा त्याग आदर्शवत ठरेल. 

आजी-आजोबा या नात्याने तनुजाच्या या निर्णयाने आम्हाला समाधान वाटले त्यासाठी श्रद्धा व दीपक यांचेही अभिनंदन. Hats'off तनुजा.  तुझ्या विचारांची प्रगल्भता अशीच वाढत राहो यासाठी सदिच्छा 

आजी-आजोबा

How Can India Become The Next Manufacturing Powerhouse

Pradhyumna Ingle

APAC Head | Industrial Manufacturing & Maintenance | Build Successful Businesses & Teams | Emerging Markets Specialist

For a couple decades, India was the ultimate destination for outsourcing software services as well as knowledge processes, but it is now all geared up to grab the center position as the global manufacturing hub. Mr. Pradhyumna Ingle, Regional Business Head, Asia Pacific, General Manufacturing, Maintenance and Consumer; Construction adhesives businesses, Henkel KgaA shares with Pro MFG Media on how India can position itself as a global manufacturing hub. Currently based in Shanghai, China, he has over 23 years of experience in building and growing successful businesses and teams in India, Middle East, Africa and Asia. Pradhyumna joined Henkel in India in 2001 and has led the Asia Pacific Marketing and Business Development Organization for Henkel’s Adhesive Technologies business in addition to assuming various other strategic roles in India and China.

Q: How can India leverage the opportunity to play a significant part in the global manufacturing supply chain?

Mr. Ingle: India is poised at an interesting juncture that will change the role and position of the Indian economy on the global platform. The Indian manufacturing industry can contribute to the aspiration of India becoming a 5 trillion economy and play a vital role in India’s growth journey. Currently, the manufacturing sector contributes to well under 20% of the country’s total GDP, and we must aspire it to contribute 25% - 30% of the total GDP in coming years. The country has all the right conditions for this growth supported by a combination of young demographics, with more than 65% of India's population under the age of 35, and increasing urbanization and middle class driving massive domestic demand. The growth in manufacturing will not only generate an enormous amount of employment allowing us to leverage our young manpower but also offer great captive local demand to the manufacturers. The changing dynamics of the global economy and the benefits India offers combine as an immense headroom for the manufacturing sector to grow in India.

To harness the opportunity, the required efforts can be encapsulated in the 'SET' framework - wherein the 'S' part represents strategic planning. India will have to choose the potential sector and the segments that offer a strong competitive edge over other nations. While India has already taken its initial steps with various government initiatives such as AtmaNirbhar Bharat and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, this further can be enhanced with an end-to-end planning including targets and ecosystem.

In addition to traditional manufacturing, there is also an emerging opportunity to nurture and leverage our technical talent and establish ourselves as a leader in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. There is a strong start-up and innovation culture - India has improved its ranking from 81 to 52 between 2015 and 2019 on the Global Innovation Index. In 2019 India ranked third in the world in terms of attracting investment for technology transactions.

The ‘E’ part of the framework stands for ‘Enabler’, wherein it stands as a pillar to have the suitable infrastructure and ecosystems. While India has a strong competitive advantage in terms of its low labor cost, captive demand, and well-educated skilled & semi-skilled workforce, to be able to harness the full potential, the country needs the suitable infrastructure in place.

As an example, the whole process of transporting goods from point A to B must be more predictable. In recent times, the country has executed significant strides to achieve the desired output. The turnaround time of movement of goods on ports has come down to under three days in 2019 from six days in 2015. The implementation of GST in 2015 has accelerated the pace of goods movement, and with the development of various freight corridors and highways, the government has set a strong momentum. However, India needs to push the accelerator further in this direction to emerge as a global manufacturing hub.

The second part of ‘Enabler’ also acts as a pillar to source the right resources for the foreign investors, which will help to set up their manufacturing units in India. A lot of companies today consider it complex to find their way through the elaborate maze of laws to cross while setting up their businesses. They expect single-window communication and suitable agencies who understand the challenges involved in setting up a business outside their home country. Government has taken steps like promoting ease of doing business and liberalization of the foreign direct investment norms to attract overseas investors and the results are visible. Additionally, the government is also promoting lateral entry of industry experts in governance. This will infuse fresh talent in bureaucracy and create stronger interface.

And lastly, the ‘T’ part of the framework is about ‘Transparency’, which revolves around reducing corruption and increasing agility, accountability, and predictability. The launch of the Infrastructure Information System portal by GoI is a thoughtful move in this direction where the companies can see what slots and incentive schemes are available at various industrial zones. We are also increasingly becoming Digital which is cultivating a culture of transparency within our system. An accelerated focus, careful supervision, and implementation of the other two pillars of ‘Strategic Planning’ and ‘Enablers’ of the ‘SET’ framework will significantly help India to become a part of the global manufacturing champions club.

Q: Could you shed light on the key elements of Henkel’s strategic framework, ‘Purposeful Growth’? How has your organisation cultivated sustainability as a fundamental factor while developing innovations?

Mr. Ingle: Henkel, a global company with more than 140 years of success with leading positions in industrial and consumer businesses: Adhesive Technologies, Beauty Care and Laundry & Home Care. Headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany, Henkel enjoys a leadership position both in terms of market share and its technological prowess in many of the markets of its presence. Our commitment to relentlessly address the ever-evolving needs of our customers and industry makes us their preferred choice.

The organization is building a solid foundation for the future through its strategic framework that is built around the philosophy of ‘Purposeful Growth’ announced in early 2020. Purposeful Growth in our context means putting the purpose of holistic development beyond financials. It believes in the ideology that when an organization focuses on creating value for all stakeholders, the financial value is the resultant outcome of the same. Henkel’s strategic framework is built around the following six pillars:

We have structured six strategic priorities into our new strategic framework, which will reshape how we drive performance and deliver on our aspiration of purposeful growth, both in the short and the long term.

● Rigorously shape a WINNING PORTFOLIO - we will optimize and shape our portfolio with an aspiration to focus where we can bring most value.
● Accelerate with impactful INNOVATIONS supported by increased investments to shape the markets and create a competitive edge.
● Boost SUSTAINABILITY into a true differentiator
● Transform DIGITAL into a customer & consumer value creator
● Reshape OPERATING MODELS to be lean, fast & simple in every single operation across the company
● Accelerate CULTURAL JOURNEY with our Leadership Commitments at the core.

Henkel believes that sustainability is the cornerstone of its success in all the markets of its presence. It is a crucial part of its DNA and one of the most vital enablers of value amongst the other pillars of its strategic framework. The three focus areas of Henkel to push forward its sustainability agenda is as follow:

⮚ To become climate-positive by 2040: The organization plans to reduce its carbon footprint from its production activities by 65 percent and save 100 million tons of CO2 together with its consumers, customers, and suppliers by 2025.
⮚ Work towards a circular economy and zero plastic waste in the environment: Henkel has set an ambitious target of 100 percent of its packaging material to be either recyclable or reusable by 2025, and the organization aims to reduce fossil-based virgin plastics in its consumer product packaging by 50 percent.
⮚ Enhance positive social impact on communities: The Company plans to create a positive social impact through 100 percent responsible sourcing, by leveraging its more than 50,000 engaged employees, and by helping to improve 20 million lives globally by 2025.

The organization is confident that with sustainability firmly anchored in all its activities, it will not only just deliver positive outcomes for the environment and society but will also continue to hold a leadership position in the market

Without doubt, year 2020 will be etched in the memory as a year of multiple disasterslike Covid-19 pandemic, Trade issues between US-China, Wild fires in Australia, Social unrest in Hong Kongdrastic decline in Oil prices as well as financial markets  and other politically dominated issues in emerging markets. All these events combined, plunged the global economies into multiple catastrophise like global shutdowns, negative economic growth and huge monitory and human losses.  The Covid-19 aftermath is so deeply engraved that in future, we can actually explain this phase  as  (BC / Before Covid-19 and AD / After Disease recovery)

It forced the world leaders, policy makers, businesses to shift their focus in a survival mode for most part of 2020 struggling to meet day to day requirements like employee safety, security of their products, brand and people, in the process manage to generate enough cash flow and retain customers centricity. Let me re-define the Covid-19 disruption and resurrection into 3 broad phases. 

Phase Iwas when (Mar-Aug 20)  it was complete disaster; supply & demand were severely imbalanced and entire world was forced to shut down. 

Phase IIwas when (Sept-Dec 20) China and a few SEA countries started to get back to fair amount of manufacturing capacities and international logistics resumed for essential services, pharma, food, groceries, medical devices, PPE etc. 

Phase III is current period which will drag deep into year 2022 for path to recovery for many industries. In this phase, business and supply chain leaders need to re-visit and re-structure their end to end supply chains.

Challenges caused due to Covid-19, implies Phase I

• Global geographies shut down reducing exposure of human to human infections
• Factories for most commodities (other than essential commodities, Pharma, Medicinal / Med Devices, Food & Groceries) were shutdown globally
• China fully shutdown it is manufacturing output during this phase affecting consumers globally
• Massive spread of Covid infections all around the globe with high fatalities in all geographies
• Huge demand supply issues breaking the ever-so-fragile supply chain globally
• Exposing massive dependence on One Country for most commodities including essential day to day consumer products

Recovery imperatives, implies Phase II

• In this phase, most top class companies with relatively better supply chains, started to re-access the imperatives required to re-build resilient and agile supply chain
• A few broad areas were identified as immediate levers to re-adjust and re-design

1. Upstream planning – Better demand sensing, shifts in customer behaviours, predictive / prescriptive case studies, shift in inventory stocking strategy and customer service
2. Manufacturing Planning– Agility and flexibility, Capacity planning, shift from Just in Time to Agile and resilient operations
3. Sourcing – Visibility into Tier I, II and III suppliers, De-risk by developing alternates, Build practical BCP’s (business continuity plans) and China + 1 sourcing strategy
4. Fulfillment and Logistics execution– Re-design networks, use of multi-modal distribution, collaborate with Tier I and II service providers, optimizing multi-lanes & route planning

Tactical and execution enablers,  implies Phase III

This is the most critical phase where the “Rubber meets the road”. This is THE Right Timefor the world leaders to bring about a changein their supply chains for right reasons.  This change was over-due, and Covid-19 proved to be a catalyst in many ways.  It is NOW or NEVER for Supply ChainsGlobally if they do not put their acts together !!!Highlighted a few execution levers that supply chains globally need to execute and NOW

1. Changes in the customer profile, their expectationand trust.

Balancing strategic imperatives such as risk, sustainability and winning consumer trust will challenge & may prevail over pure economics for many years to come.It is important for companies  to have their fingers on the pulse of public sentiment and build a supply chain which will compliment it.

2. Renewed focus on Glo-Calisation (local execution)

Going forward, companies need to de-risk by rebalancing the supply chain with a more strategic mix of local, regional and global supply chains so if any disruptions happen in one of the supply sources, it will be easier to adapt and fulfil the need with the other. This requires a new strategic  way of thinking and a completely different business sense.  Logistics hubs will re-emerge at the local / mega city level.  sub-system suppliers and component suppliers will source, assemble, and deliver from their own backyards

3. Escalating freight rates &severe capacity crunch:

4. 
   Strategically acquire or merge to increase leverage

5. Form collaborative partnerships (horizonal and vertical):

6. Trade-off storage needs-capacity crunch &escalating cost with customer satisfaction:

needs v/s costs trade-off while maintaining regional capacities and meeting customer delivery expectations at the back of (local) compliance requirements

7. Embrace & execute Multi-modal transportation model:
