Era Infra Engineering Limited received an award for the third fastest growing construction Company (LargeCategory) in India at the 6th Annual Construction World Awards organized by ASAPP Media and supported bythe Builders Association of India (BAI). The ranking for these awards was as per the Construction WorldAnnual 2008 study.

The award was received by Mr. J.L.Khushu, Director, EPC & International Division on behalf of Era Infra at aglittering function organized in Taj Mansingh in Mumbai on 24th October, 2008.

A comprehensive methodology was adopted to categorize and select the winners for this award. Themethodology involved comparison of financial results of construction companies for the past 6years with details on operating revenue, net profit after tax, equity capital and assets. Calculationswere further made to observe growth in operating revenue and growth in profits. Both these growthfactors were integrated statistically to provide “Weighted Index”. The results were put before an expertpanel before arriving at a decision. Growth was identified as a benchmark of progress. To capture the essence,the awards did not allow size to overshadow a company’s performance, nor did extraneous transactions obfuscatestatistics and objectivity.

Today’s cut-throat competitive environment entails that weconstantly upgrade our knowledge base and soft skills. Yet, thebusy schedules of everyday life hardly permit us to spend hourson reading and pursuing activities that can enhance and refineour soft skills. Thus, to encourage team members to regularly read on varioustopics, instill confidence in making presentations and speechesand most importantly have a novel beginning to each workingday – we, at the Human Resource Department of the C&CDivision initiated an innovative project. As a part of this project, every morning before commencingour daily routine we all collected in the Head, HR’s cabin. Theagenda was to encourage team members to come preparedwith any topic of his/her choice and make a small presentationfor ten minutes. The idea was to encourage all to revive ourhabit of research, reading, studying and also encourage us tocontemplate on new ideas. Needless, to say, this veryinteresting beginning to the day received excellent responseand there was a refreshing new beginning to each which weall really looked forward to.This interesting exercise was initiated by the Head of our HRDepartment, Mr. M.C.S. Bhakuni with the aim to groomemployees & team members of the HR department and alsoemphasizing the diverse role of the HR department & its abilitiesto positively contribute to overall development of theorganisation. The practice was started on 21st May 08 and in barely sixmonths over 43 sessions have already been organised. The

topics covered included a variety of subjects such as, ̀ The BestPractices in Business’, `Stress Management’, `Six Sigma’,`Managerial Skills’, `TQM’, `Tax Planning’, `Attrition’, `Roleof HR in organizations’, `Job Rotation’, `OrganizationCulture’, `Employee Retention’, `Quality Circle’, `CustomerRelationship Management’, `Attitude’, `How to become aBetter Manager’, `SWOT Analysis’, `ESI & PF’, `Deliveringgood presentations,’ etc. The results of these interesting sessions were amply visible in theimproved communication skills and confidence level ofemployees which played a key role in the individual’s overallpersonality development. It also ensured we all continued topursue the habit of studying and further honing our analyticalskills. The exercise definitely boosted the morale of our teammembers and infused a lot of confidence and enthusiasm. Later, we also invited senior officials including Mr. Joy Saxena,Mr. Hans Raj Arora, Mr. Ajay Garg, Mr. Sushil Gupta and Mr.R.S. Gupta to grace some of these sessions and share theirviews on the project and provide the participants concretesuggestions for further improvement. It was heartening to heartheir very positive and encouraging feedback and words ofappreciation on this unique project. Needless to say, several more “Eraites” will now be able tospeak in public with even more confidence. As the greatessayist, Francis Bacon has rightly said “Reading maketh a fullman, conference a ready man and writing an exact man”.

A new, vibrant & dynamic HRD Forum

High Performance Leadership

Supriya Kumar recently attended an interesting and informativeseminar on leadership which provided an insight into theimportance of leadership to the organisations, explained thequalities that define leaders.etc. Here, Supriya has put togethera few thoughts and points from the seminar to emphasis this.

Leadership is a state of mind….it is about vision, spirit, andcharacter. Leadership is about getting diverse individuals to worktogether as a team.

The importance of quality leadership can be gauged from whatthey are capable of achieving for the organization. Very often,it is a leader who is the key driver of superior businessperformance. In addition, leaders are normally the vital sourceof competitive advantage that businesses enjoy. Again, it isleaders who are the fundamental elements for organizationalchange.

One of the defining qualities of leaders is their strong desire toinfluence and lead others and the willingness to takeresponsibility.

The perspectives of high performance leadership are:Orientation & Motivation – PreferencesBehavior & Experience – Capabilities

Performance depends on stable, comfortable, competitive anddynamic environment within the organization.

The preferences & capabilities when linked to the potentialdevelopment of an individual leads to high performanceleadership.

The high potential perspectives of leadership depend ongeneralists, functional, team and specialists leaderships.

Individual & team development depends on talent andperformance management.

Gear the organization to growth plans but if the growth is criticalthen the organization should demonstrate high performancebehaviours by developing the employees. The four important high performance behaviours are-

Talent acquisitionPerformance developmentTalent managementLeadership development

From a stable & safe environment the organization should bein a competitive environment

Some of the leadership potential indicators areHigh energy driveWinning spiritFast learnerBrain power – assimilate thingsBe courageousChange the way of working

Thus, organizations should build a functional leadership inreference to superior leadership which is required for excellence.

"Nothing could have been better than this".

How would you describe your personal experience of working with Era?

Working at Era is and has always been one of the most challenging experiences of my life.

I commenced my career at Era in the Information Technology Department as the Functional Head and went on to spear head the Communications Department followed by stints at few more departments and am currently the Business Head of Era E-Zone (I) Limited.

This diverse experience has helped me intricately understand in-depth the working of various systems, M.I.S and the management.Importantly, having worked at different levels has helped me understand and appreciate the reality on both the sides of the table.

This experience has helped me grow professionally and as an individual. All of which has been possible only because of the fast-pacedgrowth at Era and the tremendous support of my colleagues & the guidance of seniors. This support has also helped me successfully crosseven toughest of barriers.

What kind of a learning experience does Era offer to people like you, for whom it is a platform to enter into the business groove?

Era offered me an excellent platform to launch myself into the world of professionalism, where I received maximum exposure & opportunityto showcase the best of my innovative ideas for the betterment of the organization. I started at the executive level to understand the businessproposition, and then gained experience in couple of other departments. I grew with time and was always blessed with authorities as wellas responsibilities, so there was no scope of failure in growth. The experience at Era has helped me develop the right leadership qualities& enhance my entrepreneurial skills. I feel Era is in a perfect growth momentum and still has a long journey ahead and hence will alwaysattract the best talent in the industry.

Your experience at Era so far has been as diverse as the group's portfolio. Would you say that has helped you attain aholistic understanding of the group as a whole?

Yes, as I said earlier the experience at Era has helped me gain an invaluable and in-depth understanding of our business. And aftercompleting two years, I won’t think twice before saying, "Nothing could have been better than this". The diverse portfolios endowed me witha holistic experience and exposed me to diverse situations which helped me acquire diverse skills. I appreciate better now that you haveto work on your business every day.

You have, through your initiative and resourcefulness, initiated several measures and introduced several systems atvarious levels to improve intra-office communication and efficacy. How would you rate the performance of thesesystems in terms of the response from your colleagues, both senior and junior?

I did initiate new processes, spearheaded many initiatives but success has always been achieved because it is a collective effort. We haveinitiated a few measures such as introducing a strong Communications Department for the Group. Also, heading the communicationdepartment was a big challenge as we needed to showcase the true goodwill of the group in the market.

It was equally challenging converting the organization into a paperless & cashless one. We have successfully achieved this through the jointefforts of our in-house IT team. I also consider the introduction of “Eranet” (our intranet system) a remarkable milestone and we receivedfull support from the senior & junior Era family members to make it a grand success.

As a start, internal newsletter was uploaded on “Eranet” & today it is good to see it in a printed and physical form.

I might have been a part of these initiatives but the success of these systems is completely an outcome of the effort & hard work of ourcolleagues & I give full marks to them for successfully implementing these systems in the organisation.

What kind of business and growth plans have you drawn out for Era E-Zone,of which you are the Business Head?

Era E-Zone is now all set to make its presence felt in the market with the vision ofproviding excellent cinematic experience & best-in-class food courts.

We want to make cinema viewing an affordable option for film-lovers and we will targetthe niche and premium segments of the audience as well. We are planning to have anoptimal mix of single screens & multiplexes in order to tap the Indian film exhibitionmarket. The main emphasis will be in providing the best-in-class services to the customersto built a brand value & keep sufficient profit margin.

We have a rollout plan for the next 3 years across the country. Our target is to rolloutat least 200 screens and about 22 food courts in this time. We may do so individuallyor with another company but we are all geared to achieve our target. We have puttogether a team of dedicated professionals to achieve the targets we have set.

What is your personal vision for Era for the days, months and years tocome?

“Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength” – I believe that Erais using its strength in the right direction and this will be fruitful in the long run. Today,we have a perfect combination of a talent pool constituting the experience of seniors &energy of youngsters. The “Experience” will provide the direction for success & the“Energy” will provide us further endurance to grow fast. Hence, I envision an exponentialgrowth for the Group in the future.

Experience Sustainable Construction

Sustainable development is defined as “development that fulfillsthe requirements of the present generation withoutcompromising on the ability of future generations to meet theirown needs.

The moment one talks of development the first activity thatcomes to mind is “construction”.

Without construction there would be no cities, no infrastructure,no industry and humanity would probably revert back to the pre-historic times.

Further, the construction industry is also a major contributor tothe socio-economic development. At the same time, theconstruction industry consumes enormous amount of energyand natural resources. Therefore, it is imperative for theconstruction industry to be actively pursuing ways and means inachieving sustainable development.

Energy, raw material, water and land are all consumed in theconstruction & infrastructure development process and forcommercial & indust rial activities. These ‘built’ structures are anintegral part of our environment impacting & influencing ourliving conditions, social well-being and health.

It is therefore important to explore and develop environmentally& economically sound designs and pursue developmenttechniques which ensure that buildings and infrastructure issustainable, healthy and "affordable". However, successfullyachieving poses a major challenge. Let us look into this further.

Evolving concept

The concept of sustainability in building and construction hasalso been evolving over many years. Initially, the concept wascentered around limited resources, especially energy, and onhow to reduce the impact on the natural environment. However,it is now recognized that besides technical and design relatedissues ensuring economic and social sustainability are alsoimportant, as are the cultural heritage aspects of the builtenvironment, all which have to be examined and integrated rightfrom the stage of conception through designing and ultimatelythe execution.

Thus, the concept of sustainable construction has to beingrained right from inception of any project. From the first stepof establishing the “need” for a project to be taken up to theway it is “conceived”, the “types of products selected” to beused, the “design methodology”, the “construction process”, theway it will be “used and maintained” and the way it will be“disposed off” after completion of life cycle - each stage has animpact on sustainability.

Resource efficient

One of critical areas for designers and builders is to make thebuilding structure resource efficient. This implies that the manner

in which the building receives energy and other resources, themanner in which they are distributed and consumed and themanner in which the waste generated is disposed off has to beefficient. This is mainly to ensure that the negative impact ofconsuming the resources on the environment is least. Extendingthis thought further, to the manner in which people enter, useand leave the building and the places they come from is alogical step and has to be duly considered. Similarly, we have toalso examine the number and types of machinery and theoptimum mix of machine and manpower to be deployed forexecution to arrive at a sustainable solution.

Some of the factors related to design, land and sites issues,process, material and equipment that need to be examined andkept in mind are listed here for your consideration.

Designs

Smaller is better: Optimize use of interior spaces throughcareful design so that the overall building size and resourcesused in constructing and operating it are kept to a minimum.

Design an energy efficient building: Use high levels ofinsulation, high performance windows, and tightconstruction, choose glazing with low solar heat gain, andpreventdirect gain of solar heat.

Design buildings to use renewable energy: Passive solarheating, day-lighting and natural cooling can beincorporated cost-effectively into most buildings. Also,consider solar water heating and photo voltaic options, ordesign buildings keeping a provision for future solarinstallations. Pre-heating of water using solar heaters reduceselectric load requirements for heating water in toilets.

Optimise material use: Minimize waste by designing forstandard ceiling heights, openings and building dimensions.Avoid waste from over-design by optimising engineering andsimplifying building geometry.

Design water efficient, low-maintenance landscaping:Conventional lawns have a severe impact due to the use ofwater, pesticides and the pollution generated from mowing.Landscape with drought resistant native plants and perennialgroundcovers are desirable.

Make it easy for occupants to recycle waste: Makeprovision for storage and processing of recyclables (i.e., recycling bins near food processing areas, under-sinkcompost receptacles, etc.).

Examine the feasibility of gray water reuse: Water fromsinks, showers or clothes washers (gray water) can berecycled for irrigation in some areas. If current codes preventgray water recycling, design plumbing systems for easy futureadaptation.

Design for durability: To spread the environmental impactsof building over as long a period as possible, the structuremust be durable. A building with a durable design and“timeless architecture is more likely to realize a longer life.

9

Design for future reuse and adaptability: Make thestructure adaptable to other uses, and choose materials andcomponents that can be reused or recycled.

Avoid potential health hazards (i.e., radon, mold, pesticides): Follow recommended practices to minimize

random entry into the building and provide for futuremitigation if necessary. Provide detailing to avoid moistureproblems that could cause mold and mildew growth. Designand incorporate insect resistant detailing too.

Land use and site issues

Renovate older buildings: Conscientiously renovatingexisting buildings is the best form of sustainable construction.

Create cohesive, integrated communities: Development patterns can either inhibit or contribute to the establishmentof strong communities.

Encourage in-fill and mixed use development: In-filldevelopment that increases density is inherently better thanbuilding on undeveloped sites. Mixed use development, inwhich residential and commercial uses are intermingled, canreduce automobile use and help in the development ofhealthy communities.

Minimise automobile dependence: Locate buildings toprovide easy access to public transportation, bicycle paths,and walking access to basic services. Commuting can alsobe reduced by working from home, therefore, make provisions for developing a small office at home; adequate provisions for wiring can also be considered.

Value site resources: Early in the sitting process, carry outa careful site evaluation (i.e. solar access, soil, vegetation,water resources, important natural areas, etc.) and use thisinformation to guide the design.

Locate buildings to minimise impact: Use the clusterbuilding approach to preserve open space and wildlife

corridors. Avoid especially sensitive areas such as wetlands and keep roads & service lines short. Leave the most pristineareas untouched & build on areas that have been previouslydegraded also do consider restoring damaged ecosystems. Responsible on-site water management: Designlandscapes to absorb storm water instead of putting in stormsewers to carry it off-site. Consider roof-top water catchment’ssystems so that rainwater can be used.

Situate buildings to benefit from existing vegetation:Trees on the east and west sides of a building candramatically reduce cooling loads. Hedge-rows andshrubbery can block cold winter winds or help channel coolsummer breezes into buildings.

Protect trees and topsoil during site work: Protect treesfrom construction damage by fencing off the “drip line around them and avoiding major changes to surface grade.

Avoid use of pesticides and other chemicals that mayleach into the groundwater: Look into less toxic termitetreatments, and keep exposed frost walls free fromobstructions to discourage insects. When backfilling afoundation or grading around a house, do not bury anyconstruction debris.

Protect both natural and man-made heritage

10

Materials

Use durable products and materials: As manufacturing isvery energy-intensive, a product that lasts longer or requiresless maintenance usually saves energy and reduces waste.

Choose low maintenance building materials: Wherepossible, select building materials that require littlemaintenance (i.e., painting, re-treatment, waterproofing, etc.)or such maintenance will have little environmental impact.

Choose building materials with low embodied energy:Heavily processed or manufactured products and materialsare usually more energy intensive. As long as durability andperformance is not sacrificed, choose low embodied-energymaterials.

Buy locally produced building materials: Transportationis costly in both energy use and pollution generation. Consider choosing locally produced materials.

Use building products made from recycled materials:Building products made from recycled products reduce solidwaste problems, cut energy consumption in manufacturing,and save on natural resource use.

Use salvaged building materials where possible: Reduceland-filling and save natural resources by using salvaged materials (i.e., lumber, millwork, certain plumbing fixtures,hardware, etc.). Make certain these materials are safe (i.e., test for lead and asbestos) and do not sacrifice energyefficiency or water efficiency by reusing old windows or toilets.

Seek responsible wood supplies: Use lumber fromindependently certified, well managed forests. Avoid lumberproducts produced from old-growth timber unless they arecertified. Engineered wood can be substituted for old-growthtimber.

Avoid materials that emit pollutants: Solvent-basedfinishes, adhesives, carpeting, particleboard, and many otherbuilding products release formaldehyde and volatile organiccompounds (VOCs) into the air. These chemicals can affectworkers and occupants health as well as contribute to smogand ground level ozone pollution. Avoid materials that emitHCFCs, such as extruded polystyrene and certain types offoam insulation.

Minimise use of pressure treated lumber: Use detailingthat will prevent soil contact and rot. Where possible, usealternatives such as recycled plastic lumber. Take measuresto protect workers when cutting and handling pressure-treatedwood. Scraps should never be incinerated (burnt).

Minimise packaging waste: Avoid excessive packaging,such as plastic-wrapped plumbing fixtures or fastenersunavailable in bulk. Tell suppliers why you are avoiding over-packaged products. However, it is important to remember thatsome products need to be carefully packaged to preventdamage and potential waste.

Equipment

Install high efficiency heating and cooling equipment:Well-designed high-efficiency furnaces, boilers, airconditioners and distribution systems will enhance the cost-efficiency for building occupants and reduce pollution. Install equipment with minimal risk of combustion gas spillage.

Avoid ozone-depleting chemicals in mechanical equipment and insulation: CFCs have been phased out,but their primary replacement, HCFCs’, also damage theozone layer and should be avoided where possible. Reclaim CFCs when servicing or disposing of equipment.

Install high efficiency lights and appliances: Fluorescentlighting has improved dramatically in recent years and is nowsuitable for homes. High efficiency appliances offer botheconomic and environmental advantages over their conventional counterparts.

Install water efficient equipment: Water conserving toilets, showerheads and faucet aerators reduce water use as well as the loading to septic systems and sewage treatment plants.Reducing hot water use also saves energy.

Provess

Use building construction techniques that are resource efficient.

Reduce noise and other types of pollution during building activity.

Once the fact that it is possible to ensure affordability of sustainable construction is accepted then it is easier

to ensure implementation.
