Dear friends @ ICCMA,

It is with deep gratitude and humility that I pen a note to y'all today, having been entrusted with the position of President of our esteemed association, ICCMA. I am truly honoured to be stepping into this role, knowing that I have big shoes to fill. The leadership that has led ICCMA before me has set a high standard and I promise to carry forward that legacy with the same dedication, passion and commitment.

India, as we all know, is a nation of young aspirants. Our country is teeming with energy, innovation and ambition and it is heartening to see that the founding members of ICCMA have already initiated the process of handing over the reins to the younger brigade. On behalf of the younger generation, I promise that we will do our utmost to honour the trust placed in us.

One of the key priorities will be to bring more inclusiveness to our youth, engaging them actively in the future of ICCMA and ensuring that their talents, ideas, and passion drive us forward.

In line with this, we aim on making ICCMA's activities more structured and purposeful. By incorporating technology and leveraging new-age communication methods, we will create a platform that offers higher value to all our members. The future of any industry lies in its ability to adapt, and I believe that through technology, we can streamline our operations, improve our communication, and enhance the overall experience of being a part of this association.

A critical part of this process will be our focus on skill development and training programs. Our industry is undergoing rapid transformation and it is imperative that our workmen are equipped with the necessary skills to thrive in this changing landscape. I am committed to introducing and expanding initiatives that will offer professional growth opportunities. ICCMA will strive to assist shape a highly skilled workforce for the Corrugated Industry - ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Equally important for our industry is our commitment to quality & environment. From the raw materials we source to the final product we deliver, every step of the production process needs to reflect the highest standards. As part of our initiatives, we will try to work with stakeholders across the supply chain to identify and address the quality bottlenecks to enable benefit all members.

Together, we will shape a future where sustainability, innovation, quality and inclusivity defines ICCMA. I am confident that with the support of each one of you, we will together achieve great things in the years to come.

Thank you once again for the trust you have placed in me. I look forward to working with you all to continue building the future of our industry.

Wishing you all a Very Happy Diwali and Prosperous Vikram Samvat 2081.
