From MD's Desk Dear Friends, I can never forget 2021 as year, this year gave me lot of learnings and I am sure for all of us. We had lots of ups and downs in this year; Q1 was full of high demand from which helped us to be a better customers, we performed above person. We suffered by losing one our budget in Q1. Q2 gave us of our colleague, Vidya, to COVID different learning, with COVID and during same time many of our virus affecting many of our loved friends or family members were ones. Q3 was a difficult time with suffering heavily by this virus. We, lots of challenges on high as team fought and have come out stocks/inventory, uncertain and of it as winner. volatile demands from customer due to CHIP shortage and same continued for Q4. Our theme of this Rejuvenate is also on the same line, “Either we will win or we will learn”; there is a nice quote by Shri Ramakrishna “As long as I live, so long do I learn” Man or society which had nothing to learn is already in jaws of death. Any progressive community, can grow and face any challenge, can evolve, and sustain only by learning new things.

Today our markets are also evolving and in transition phase, for our individual sustainability, for sustainability of our organization we have to learn new skills, new way of doing business. And when we experiment new learning, we will not be winner every time, we fail but this failure will teach us how not to fail, which will be learning. Rightly said by Edison, after failing 10,000 time, “I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”. Very inspiring, this thought inspires us not to give up from failure but to learn and move ahead. Year 2022 will be again full of surprises for us, our markets are evolving in terms of technology and expectation, let us all commit to demonstrate our Values in action and fulfill our customers evolving expectation by using our experiences, learnings from our failures and successes. I wish you & your near and dear ones, good success in year 2022. HAPPY NEW YEAR. Jai Hind Manish

Article - I either win or learn Let’s Think about that Nelson Mandela quote for a second. Everybody makes mistakes or “ननंही सी चिटी जब दाना लेकर experiences that something bad चढती है , happens now and then. But how do you react to the challenging things that चढती दिवारो पर सौ बार happen to you? फिसलती है , आंखीर उसकी मेहनत बेकार नही होती” The next time something challenging happens to you. Consider it a gift! Choose your Own Way You do have a choice for everything. 1.You can either let it pull you down 2.you can think that this is something you learn from. Next time something challenging happens you’ll be even stronger. Do challenge yourself to think differently, Say loudly to yourself

If we experience any difficulties in our life, that is first step where we learn to grow. It depends on you how do you respond to challenges? When a potato is thrown into boiling water it becomes soft and weak. The fragile egg, with the thin outer shell, turns hard when boiled. But the coffee beans react completely differently. They change the boiling water and turn it into something completely different – a hot cup of delicious coffee. When faced with challenges, how do you respond? Do you turn soft like the potato, hard like the egg or do you use the challenge to your own advantage, like the coffee beans? You will face a series of challenges in your life. How you respond to them is up to you. Give yourself a chance to learn, adapt and use the situation for the better. Lastly, I want to share one quote “Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it.” So, whenever you experience something remember, “I never lose. Either I learn or I win” - Ms. Dhanaya Kulkarni

Creative Minds at ARaymond जीत या सिख जीत एक मंजिल है मेहनत उसे पाने का जरिया I नाकामियाबी एक राह है सिख ही है उसिका दरिया II जीत की तो बात ही अलग है हारने का गम नहीं I कोषिश का जज्बा अलग है कामियाबी का हल यहि II मुश्किले बहुत सी आएगी पर तू न रुकना कभी: I जीत तो तेरी ही होगी पर तू न थकना कभी: II सफलता के हर पड़ाव पर श्रम का पसीना है I तू बस प्रयास कर तुझे जीतना है या सिखना है तुझे जीतना है या सिखना है II Sayali Musale
