Message from the MD & CEO
Dear Readers,
The year FY 2020-21 was in equal parts – daunting and challenging. The onset of the pandemic and the consequent shutdown and startup of our factories and offices put a lot of pressure on our day-to-day operations. However, our robust processes coupled with our commitment to sustainability helped us delivery on the goals that we had set for ourselves. This is reflected in our Sustainability report which provides glimpses of our progress in key categories such as product stewardship, environment, health and safety and community.

Street Art
In the tenure of the association with St-Art India Foundation for the last six years, we have worked on various street art projects across the country with a mutual hope to make art more accessible to the public. Our aim is to add colour and create a vibrant and happy environment in India. We support the Foundation and the artists and are extremely proud to be associated with this initiative. We believe this will bring a change and transform the cityscape drastically through art.
