The Grand Slam

The 7th Annual Manufacturing Today Conference & Awards Was Another Smashing Success.

- Jayashree Kini Mendes

THE SUCCESS OF AN EVENT CAN ONLY BE judged by those attending it, and those behind it. Going by the outcome of the 7 th Annual Manufacturing Today Conference & Awards, we, as the organisers, would like to label it as an outstanding success. Most people outside the world of manufacturing show little interest in understanding the industry; the keenness goes far only in the novel products it is capable of producing. Even though it's the manufacturing sector that serves as a beacon to the overall growth of a country's GDP, few could still be compelled to understand it better. In such a situation, Manufacturing Today has manifested itself as the only magazine to have uncovered the industry's coreness, thus letting its readers understand the immense knowledge, technology, skill-sets, and impressive operations, it has to offer.

The awards is our way of bringing together people across divisions and helping them glean new aspects of functions that hitherto was only hearsay or read in passing.

In its 7th year, the awards could not have shone more brightly. Importantly, we held it in Mumbai, moving away from the comfort zone that Pune had offered us the last few years. And the people flocked.

Considering that this industry is perhaps the only one that is no stranger to morning and late night shifts, we began our day with the lighting of the lamp.
