September 2020 Print Bulletin
FROM THE PRESIDENTS’ DESK
Dear fellow print professionals,
We are happy to reach you with a printed copy of Print Bulletin this month. We are confident that while you appreciated the BMPA-MMS effort to send you the PDF-copies via email, you are happy to receive a printed copy. Taking a cue from your response to the past three issues, we shall continue to send you the link to PDF of the issue besides the printed copy. We request you to share the link for the PDF to as many people as you can – share it with your colleagues, team members and associates. It is always good to spread the word about your affiliation with your trade associations.
We would not only like to keep our promise of reaching you every month but also assure our advertisers that we mean business! While the print helps us deliver the content to you in a physical copy, we have learned that electronic copy has the potential to engage a much larger number of readers with a significant cost advantage. Moreover, what’s better than exploiting the digital medium to spreading the word about print? #Savage 😉
In this issue of Print Bulletin, we have an interview with Uday Patel, LTA Awardee and Founder Owner of Line O Matic. He is one of the customercentric and people-focused businesspeople in the industry. He has led the company to global success by developing the right technology platforms for Line O Matic products. Read the interview on page 5. Turn to Page 16, and you will find the report about BMPA’s webinar about finding growth opportunities in the times of this crisis. Bimal Mehta of Vakils conducted the second knowledge-sharing webinar organised by MMS. He has shared his journey of the transformation of Vakils from an analogue print company to an IT-enabled services business. Read this story on Page 18.
We know to print and dispatching a hardcopy of Print Bulletin is an insignificant event in the grand global scheme of things. However, we are pretty excited about it. It is a new start towards a new normal. We genuinely hope that you will see the light at the end of the tunnel just as we saw it as we decided to publish the printed issue, and worked towards making it a reality. It has motivated us all, making this issue a special one for us.
We shall be thrilled even if one of you feels inspired to rekindle your bond with your business after receiving this issue in the printed form. We know in our hearts that if it happens, this issue will have its purpose served. Amen.
