Due to the floods that hit Tamil Nadu in Tuticorin, our factory team faced unexpected challenges. For four tough days without electricity, limited food and water, and weak phone signals, they stayed committed.

When the waters receded, instead of returning home, they chose to stay in Tuticorin. Their mission: revive the factory by cleaning, overhauling, documenting losses, and discarding flood remnants.

This shows teamwork, taking responsibility, and sticking to the plan. They could have gone home, but they chose to be strong together.

Tamilselvan, Manivasagan, Sabarish S, Sai Ganesh Desetti, Moddam Hussain, and Maria Loyola A, your grit, resilience, and teamwork mean a lot to us. You’ve faced tough times with grace and the unity you displayed is worth celebrating.

We are thrilled to share a moment of immense pride and joy. Recently, Lissy Biju (Senior Director, Exports), had the honour of being recognized by FBO Kerala (Federation of Business Organizations) as the Business Innovation Pioneer of the Year. FBO Kerala, honoured entrepreneurs from across Kerala at a business conclave, highlighting the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit in the state.

Lissy says: "I am truly elated to be recognized. My entrepreneurial journey was a rollercoaster with numerous challenges, moments of encouragement, and bouts of discouragement. But one thing I've always believed in is that it's the power of a dream that leads you. No matter the odds, I relentlessly pursued my passion with the grace of God. I encourage everyone to dream big and keep moving forward."

This award wouldn't have been possible without the support of an incredible network and the unwavering belief in the potential of innovation. So here's to dreaming big, to pushing boundaries, and to embracing change as a force for good.
