From the President's Desk July - August 2007

Recently you had opportunities to attend the Presentations by Mr. N.R.Narayana Murthy, Chairman and Chief Mentor, Infosys Technologies Ltd. on – “CREATING A GLOBAL CORPORATION” and also by Mr. Ashok Goel, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Essel Propack on –“Building and Management of an Indian Global Enterprise”. I am sure these Presentations have stirred and inspired you to expand your businesses beyond the Indian Shores. Detailed Reports of these events appear in this issue of Plastiscope.

As you are aware an OPPI delegation is visiting Saudi Arabia from 2nd September onwards to explore the feasibility of establishing Joint Ventures in that country. As you are aware the world’s biggest Petrochemical Projects are located in Saudi Arabia. The members of this delegation will be making Presentations on – “Saudi Arabia- Land of Opportunities” on Tuesday September 18, 2007. I am sure all of you will like to hear the first hand experiences of the members of delegation and benefit from the same.

Needless to mention all the activities of OPPI are directed towards the development and growth of its members. With this objective in mind, OPPI has been organizing programmes for the members. One such programme is scheduled on Tuesday October 16, 2007. On that day there will be a Presentation by the Mumbai Tiffin Box Service (Dabbawalas) Association. As you are aware – “The Mumbai Tiffin Box Service (Dabbawalas) Association” has been receiving accolades from various quarters in the world for their excellent supply chain / logistics management. More than 175,000 or 200,000 lunches get moved every day by an estimated 4,500 to 5,000 dabbawalas with utmost punctuality. I am sure that all of us will find this Presentation very interesting.

In its eventful existence of nearly 23 years, OPPI has always defended vigorously the legitimate interests of its members – may it be the threat of banning plastic bags or may it be the proposed levy of Anti-Dumping Duty on imported plastic polymers. However, it is necessary for the members to take time of and consider how it can help OPPI to become a strong association. There are many ways in which our members can do this- By Sponsoring the Events / Inserting Advertisements in the various OPPI Publications etc. I hope you will take sometime and do some introspection in this regard.

With Regards

Gautam Gandhi
President
