Prof. Janat Shah joins our Board of Directors

Karobi — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 06:14:57 +0000

As one of the first steps to going public from being a Private Ltd company, we wanted a good BOD. Our MD Mr.Vivek Kedia had requested Prof Janat Shah, IIM Bengaluru, to join our BOD. He is presently a professor at IIM Bengaluru. He has also been the joint Managing Director at Jaydeep Engineering Ltd and the Production Planning Manager at Gujarat Steel Tubes Ltd. He has written a few papers (and co-written a few) which have been accepted for publication in IIMB Management Review, and International Journal of Production Economics amongst others.

Needless to say, we were skeptical about how we would explain the vast scope of our work
when we were told that Prof. Janat would come to our Kolkata office on June 09th to understand
Grmtech’s work, the different departments, and its people and culture. The different department
heads, with a few team members, explained their departments, their working, and their
aspirations to him. We were pleasantly surprised that so learned and experienced a man was so
down to earth, and asked questions whenever he did not understand anything that we explained.

Though he had come directly from the airport after seeing our Rajarhat site, and it being a long
day of discussions, he took a lively interest in understanding the working of Grmtech. Our work
was new to him, as he had never been associated with this industry before. We were not sure if
he would ultimately decide to be part of our BOD.

It is an achievement and honour for Grmtech that Prof Janat decided to be a part of Grmtech, from July 11th. As our MD rightly pointed out, Grmtech now has double the confidence to take on more challenges, as we have knowledge and approachability combined with a keen interest backing us now.

Thank you Sir for deciding to be a part of us.

Office Picnic

smita — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 06:37:17 +0000

The 29th of November 2008, started with a beautiful morning.

All the Grmtechians set out to Narendrapur, at Select House for a great picnic!!! The farm house was awesome, small but done very well. It had a cozy ambiance and a lot of greenery around.

The day was packed with fun, masti and enthusiasm. We had a picnic basket filled with snacks like chips, mint, sandwiches, desserts, candy, fruits and some soft drinks.

There was music in the air. We played a lot of outdoor games. It was an exciting day and would hold some of the greatest memories of being together……………………….

Grmtech website gets a facelift

Dhritidipa — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:35:36 +0000

Grmtech’s website recently got a face lift and it will not be wrong to say that the website is looking much better. It took a lot of planning, patience and perseverance to take the website renovation to completion. Although we devoted a lot of time for the website but it was worth it. It was a team effort and each of us took the responsibility of giving it our best shot. Our team consisted of our CEO, Amit Kejriwal, Anirudh, Smita, Kundan and myself. The idea of reworking on the website was put forward by Smita, our HR Manager. Our CEO has been a constant driving force and has motivated us throughout.

It began a couple of weeks ago when the idea of revamping the website was conceived. Our team imbibed the concept and started working on it. Several new sections have been included in this website. The career section has been modified and is more user friendly for job seekers. With this update we have introduced our official blog so that all members of Grmtech can express their opinion.
