摘要

I was wondering what I should talk on the occasion of 64th Annual Conference of PAT. I come from a completely different industry and in the business of building machines. I met some of your office bearers a few days ago and they obviously started talking about the challenges in the business. Every one of us is in the habit of saying that our business is the worst and the problems we are facing are the worst in the world. If I start articulating what my problems are, you might not appreciate it, as much as I am not able to appreciate yours. The bottom line is that every one of us faces problems, with each one of them being unique and need to be solved. The question is, what is the breadth of the canvass you look for in arriving at a solution and thetime-frame for such a solution. I believe that every business is a growth business and a profitable business. I want to talk about some of the things that we have done and I do not mean to trivialise you in anyway or for what you have not done. This is purely our experience.
