Agribazaar: India’s Alibaba of Agriculture https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/agribazaar-indias-alibaba-of-agriculture/ https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/agribazaar-indias-alibaba-of-agriculture/#comments Thu, 15 Aug 2019 06:37:03 +0000 https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/?p=9730
Fifty percent of India’s total workforce is employed by the country’s agriculture sector. However, supply-chain inefficiencies means agriculture only contributes approximately eighteen percent towards India’s gross domestic product.

“In an effort to tackle challenges within the country’s agriculture sector we built Agribazaar, an agri-tech platform which gives farmers access to multiple buyers across India,” said Amith Agarwal, co-founder and chief executive officer of Agribazaar. “The platform serves the needs of all stakeholders in the farm-to-fork value-chain.”

In only two years, Agribazaar has facilitated US$1.2 billion worth of transactions making it India’s largest online agri-trading marketplace.

Technology plays a key role in Agribazaar’s success. The company employs more than one hundred information technology professionals. Advanced solutions are offered such crop monitoring, image-based testing, A.I.-based satellite-imaging for crop-yield estimations, weather tracking and soil moisture detection.

Agribazaar currently connects approximately 10,000 traders and processors with its network of 200,000 farmers across India.

“We want to bring over one hundred million farmers into the digital marketplace in the next three to five years and gradually increase the number of traders using our platform to sixty million,” says Agarwal.

“We aim to become a global platform for the betterment of the farming community and are looking for long-term investors and innovation partners to grow with us.”

Brief profile of Ube Industries Ltd. https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/brief-profile-of-ube-industries-ltd/ https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/brief-profile-of-ube-industries-ltd/#comments Thu, 15 Aug 2019 06:21:41 +0000 https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/?p=9721
We are pleased to introduce ourselves as we are a corporate body established under the Indian Companies Act of 1956 as a public limited company that was incorporated into the Registrar of Companies in Andhra Pradesh as Weldflux Engineering Ltd. to undertake engineering activities and to manufacture welding consumables, equipment and machinery by S. Vijaya Bhaskar, P.L. Diwakar Rao and S. Surya Mohan.

These promoters were the first directors (honorary) of the company, its incorporation of No. 01-05284 of 1984-85, dated Jan. 31, 1985, and obtained a commencement of business certificate on May 18, 1985 with its main objectives set as the engineering and manufacturing of welding consumables and equipment. The company has sought technical collaboration with Europe and after studying various aspects of 13 companies from Europe, a technical collaboration agreement commenced in September 1985 with Trefileries Et Ateliers De Commercy of France.

Vijaya S. Bhaskar, Director of UBE Industries Limited |  © UBE Industries Ltd.
Welding Division was in operation for the manufacturing of welding consumables, welding equipment and machinery, etc.

Projects and Constructions Division, known as PCC (Projects, Construction and Contracts Division), was in operation for the installation of turn key projects, engineering, procurement and construction, and heavy fabrication.

Engineering Division (Tools Division) was in operation for the manufacturing of special purpose machine tools and tooling systems.

Automotive Division was initiated in 1996 in commemoration of the centenary of the automotive industry, marking Henry Ford’s completion of his first experimental car. That same year, in line production obtained an Industrial Entrepreneurs Memorandum license and converted the production facilities into assembling 10,000 units enhancing its shop floor from 67,000 square feet to 110,000 square feet for additional production and testing space. Due to political reasons, the license was withdrawn on the recommendation of the state government. This stalled operations and research, and development efforts toward automatic dynamic car parking stations were initiated. Upon successful research, a prototype was made and tests executed with satisfactory results; this led to the creation of the Infrastructure Development Division to further establish automatic dynamic car parking stations.

During the restructuring of operations, the Marketing and Trading Division was created.

Sajjan India Ltd. (Sajjan) was established in 1905 as a family-owned business. With strong international ties, the company has become one of India’s leading contract manufacturers while remaining a passionate advocate for the needs of local communities.

Sajjan focuses on delivering active ingredients (agro), electronic chemicals, speciality chemicals and intermediates to customers in key industries around the world. The company’s 86,000 square-meter site is located in Ankleshwar, Gujarat, in one of the country’s largest chemical hubs.

“We have been doing business with Japan for three decades. Continuous process improvements and sustainable manufacturing practices have helped us to grow with our Japanese partners,” said Sajjan Chairman M. P. Aggarwal.

Sajjan has increased its productivity in recent years by implementing the Japanese management technique 5S: sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain.

In the past few years, experienced and well-respected representatives from the chemical industry in Japan have joined the Sajjan family. This has helped to further develop and grow business there.

“As a zero debt, privately owned export company we have ended all non-sustainable production practices and products and today focus on high-quality products with reduced environmental impact,” said Aggarwal.

Sajjan has always believed in giving back to society and hence undertakes large-scale corporate social responsibility activities spanning education, health and the environment.

These initiatives include funding a new intensive care unit in Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, Maharashtra; establishing Agrawal Vidya Mandir school over 40 years ago in Ratlam; Madhya Pradesh which currently houses close to 1,000 underprivileged children who are sponsored by Sajjan; the department of chemical engineering at a university in Gujarat funded by Sajjan; and funding an international standard school — Sajjan Lions International Academy — in Ankleshwar, Gujarat.

“Good health and quality education contribute to the nurturing of young minds,” said Aggarwal. “The project closest to my heart is the school we built in Ratlam, the city in which I was born. We have also been awarded the Gold recognition certificate by EcoVadis putting us in the top two percent of the companies globally.”

“We carry out CSR projects to support the communities in which we work and as we continue to grow our business, we will contribute to the betterment of peoples’ lives.”

Tatsuno India: Fueling the ‘Make in India’ initiative https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/tatsuno-india-fueling-the-make-in-india-initiative/ https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/tatsuno-india-fueling-the-make-in-india-initiative/#comments Thu, 15 Aug 2019 05:49:16 +0000 https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/?p=9702
It has been 100 years since Tatsuno developed the very first gasoline dispenser in Japan and the company has grown to provide innovative fueling solutions to customers all over the world.

Among the world’s three largest companies offering products and solutions to the retail petroleum industry, Tatsuno Corp. Japan, a third-generation family-owned business, is present in about 50 countries and employs around 2,000 people located across 10 operating units. Tatsuno’s international marketing focus is on the wide-ranging needs and convenience of customers, especially major oil companies worldwide.

Tatsuno’s operations in India started small 10 years ago. Today, it offers a wide variety of equipment and integrated solutions necessary to ensure the quality of fuels, and guarantee safety and convenience at gas stations across India.

In 2012, Tatsuno India commissioned its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for the production of petrol and diesel dispensers in addition to other related equipment. The facility is Tatsuno’s largest investment outside Japan and reflects its commitment to the ambitious “Make in India” initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to Arup Chatterjee, Managing Director of Tatsuno India.

“Tatsuno is a research and development-driven company with close to 2,500 patents and registered designs. Our products are renowned for their durability and consistent performance, and our technology sets us apart from the competition. Our tamperproof products have now been proven to be the most secure in India and we are encouraged that our customers and Indian society see the value we deliver,” said Chatterjee.

Recently, Tatsuno has also begun designing more price-competitive products in India by utilizing cutting-edge technology from Japan, which is adapted to the local market. Prestigious clients in India include the National Oil Companies, Shell and Reliance Industries.

In 2013, Reliance Industries invited Tatsuno India to explore opportunities in East Africa. Since then, Tatsuno has grown its business in the region and this year began operations in Nigeria. Tatsuno also supplies dispensers for clean fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas, compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas; it is also currently working on introducing hydrogen dispensers to the Indian market.

“As a family-owned global business, we are flexible and can move faster than large conglomerates,” said Chatterjee. “While we take small steps, each step allows us to grow in a sustainable manner. Our goal is to continue to grow with the market and be involved in every sphere of automobile fueling in India while developing the brand in Africa.”

Kobelco contributes to India’s growth story https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/kobelco-contributes-to-indias-growth-story/ https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/kobelco-contributes-to-indias-growth-story/#comments Thu, 15 Aug 2019 05:22:45 +0000 https://www.synergymediaspecialists.com/?p=9691
Since its establishment in 2006, Kobelco Construction Equipment India Pvt. Ltd. (KCEI), has grown an extensive network of authorized dealers with more than 100 service points across India and the surrounding markets of Nepal and Bangladesh.

In 2011, KCEI set up its production facility in the Satyavedu Reserve Infracity Pvt. Ltd. (also known as Sri City), a special economic zone in Andhra Pradesh, just 75 kilometers north of Chennai. It was the very first Japanese company in Sri City and its success encouraged many other Japanese companies to locate there as well.

KCEI supplies construction machinery such as excavators and cranes that are known for their more efficient fuel consumption and durability. Owing to the synergy of engines and efficient hydraulic systems, Kobelco’s excavators could save about 10 to 15 percent of diesel per hour when compared to those of their competitors, making them more eco-friendly.

“In the beginning, our production capacity was four to six machines a day and in the first year we produced only 500 machines,” said KCEI adviser and former Managing Director Vikram Sharma.

KCEI produced more than 2,000 machines last year and its production continues to grow to meet the strong demand from India’s road and mining sectors.

“We recently completed our third expansion, raising our production capacity to 12 machines a day. We are still considering further increasing our production capacity, in accordance with the growth of the Indian market,” said Sharma.

The Indian market for excavators has been growing around 20 percent year on year for the last four years. This robust growth is expected to continue as India’s construction equipment market is projected to have a compound annual growth rate of 10 percent over the next five years.

Aligned with its vision of “delivering true value to society,” KCEI, together with the Indian Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association, have been driving initiatives to improve the safety and emission norms in India.

KCEI is also one of the Japanese companies collaborating with the Indian government to establish the Japan-India Institute for Manufacturing (JIM) in Sri City. The JIM program is a collaborative effort aimed at increasing the pool of skilled workers to support the growth of India’s manufacturing industry.

“India is one of the fastest-growing markets for Kobelco worldwide and we are committed to being a partner of choice in constructing India’s bright future,” said KCEI Managing Director and CEO Koji Nakagawa.

Sakata Inx Corp. is ranked the third-largest ink manufacturer in Japan and worldwide. During the early ‘90s, Managing Director of the Indian subsidiary V.K. Seth recognized the business opportunities presented by India’s fast-growing printing and packaging industries and began importing high-quality ink produced by Sakata Inx in Indonesia.

As Seth began to develop his customer base, he earned the trust of Sakata Inx and established the company’s Indian subsidiary. In its early days, he operated it from his home.

Despite fierce competition, Seth grew Sakata Inx (India) Pvt. Ltd. and today heads the third-largest ink manufacturer in India with two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.

V.K. Seth, Managing Director of Sakata Inx Corp.  |  © Sakata Inx
The company manufactures and supplies flexographic and gravure inks for the packaging industry and delivers newspaper and offset inks for use in the print media industry. The company does business in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

According to Seth, who is also a member of Sakata Inx’s international advisory board, local research and development (R&D) started early in India.

“Headed by our Japanese engineers, our R&D activities in India lead to the development of ink technologies which suited India’s extreme climate and humidity, and the wide geographical territories assigned to Sakata India for business,” said Seth.

“Today we are the leaders in quality and are committed to formulating state-of-the-art, environment-friendly ink products which deliver unsurpassed performance while minimizing environmental impact. Our customers’ place great importance on solvent retention levels, food grade applications and global compliance and productivity.”

Today, Seth is focused on establishing a manufacturing facility — a wholly owned subsidiary of Sakata Inx (India) in Bangladesh — and reaching out to new markets in Africa and other territories.

“Sustainable solutions and environmental stewardship have always been core values for us,” said Seth. “We will continue to work closely with our customers to address social and environmental concerns while growing our business in India and beyond. Sakata will continue to grow by remaining focused on our customers.”
