President

Greetings!! Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous Diwali. I am honoured to take on the role as the President of AIPMA and would like to express my gratitude towards all the members for electing me and giving me an opportunity to serve this apex body.

It only takes a small team with focus and dedication to achieve miracles, and I am fortunate to have that team of competent and committed office bearers.

AIPMA has always put up with its vision and mission of being a significant part in the contribution of The Plastic Industry as well as in the progress of our country. AIPMA has contributed greatly to different sectors in the country such as Automotive, Technologies, Construction, Electronics, Healthcare, Textiles, and FMCG etc.

I as The President, with sheer focus will contribute the best of efforts in my presidential period to work upon the ideas and structure to put AIPMA at the best of its version. My goal is to make India the foundation of export and a larger export country of plastic in the world. As an apex body, AIPMA's mission is to pursue a continuous improvement plan and organisational activities aimed at making our members and the industry more globally competitive. We are excited to expand our network and connect with more plastic manufacturers around the world, as well as encourage innovation to meet tomorrow's needs.

Creating innovative products is essential for industry to strive and prosper. And, in order to achieve this goal, collaboration with both local and international institutions is required to conceptualise and design products that aim to improve performance and functionality, for packaging, construction, agriculture, automotive and so on.

Even though the Plastic Industry has an enormous growth potential, it still faces immense challenges in terms of environmental myths. AIPMA is actively conducts seminars to discuss various environmental issues and problems faced by small and medium enterprises and work on outcomes for growth.

The Ministry of MSME and AIPMA are jointly organizing Global MSME Convention for Plastic Industry to create opportunities for Indian Plastic Industry in 5 Trillion $ Economy by 2025. More than 250+ industry manufacturers and processors, 50+ Eminent Experts – national and International are showing their active participation in this event.

AIPMA plans to take a step into the domain of Education and Skill Development. AIPMA’s AMTEC Finishing School in Plastics Production Engineering has been developed with the motto of 'Making Engineers and Diploma Holders Industry Ready'. Programmes are specially designed for engineers and diploma holders to bridge the gap between the academia and the industry. The training involves in various categories enabling the trainees to serve the plastics manufacturing industry right from day one.

We are confident that our plans for future developments will allow the industry to walk on the flourish pavement and witness the growth in the Plastic Industry, as well we are planning to promote and strengthen the plastics recycling industry.

I look forward to working with you all together with confidence for the future betterment of the Plastic Industry.
