Issue No. 13 | January 2011An in-house magazine
Premier’s Corporate Social Responsibility
From all of us at Premier, a very happy and
prosperous new year to you!
There’s considerable excitement from the
Premier Journal editorial desk. It’s the first
issue of the year and as always we’ve
packed it with interesting news and
updates. The beginning of the year is a
great opportunity to take a look back at the
previous year’s highlights. Our cover story
on Premier’s Corporate Social
Responsibility gives a definitive focus to the
year gone by. Read about initiatives by
Premier Ltd. to create a better place to live
and work – for our employees, our
community and our world in five arenas of
the Arts, Culture, Education, Industry and
Community upliftment.
But the 2010 story doesn’t end there.
We’ve been busy. Our presence at industry
events, our innovations, our contribution to
trade exhibitions, the list goes on.
Premierites have done us proud in every
conceivable sphere. It’s not just work and
no play at Premier. Read our section on
Human Resources & Industrial Relations
and join us in congratulating our
colleagues who have achieved much in the
areas of music, sport and the arts. Of
course, you will also enjoy reading about
the suggestions some of our employees
contributed to I Suggest (our suggestion
scheme) which we’ve implemented and our
training initiatives, especially for the women
in our company.
In the previous issue of the Premier Journal
we introduced a column entitled ‘Employee
in Focus’. Largely through nominations and
our own investigation, this column
introduces our readership to Premier
employees who are making a difference
both in and out of the workplace. This
column received an overwhelming
response this time around in terms of
nominations submitted– it is always tough
to narrow it down but this time we chose
three employees (as opposed to just one)
all from the Heavy Engineering team.
Brand building in a continuous process for
all companies. Moreover, as a company,
we are still widely associated with the
automobile industry. What few realize is
that Premier is more than Automobiles
today. In our effort to communicate brand
Premier (Machine Tools, Heavy
Engineering and Automotive), our update
on Premier’s media presence and strategy
elaborates further. In yet another area of
brand building, Premier has been pursued
by numerous colleges and educational
institutes to come share the Premier story
with their students. This kicked off with a
massive campus recruitment initiative last
year and more recently, with the IIPM.
Read more about it on page 13.
In our section on divisional updates, we
bring you a prelude to our presence at
IMTEX 2011 (Asia’s largest Machine Tool
exhibition) at Bangalore’s International
Exhibition Centre – BIEC in January ’11.
Our next issue will focus exclusively on
this prestigious event. In our section on
Automotive updates, we are thrilled to
have articles, testimonials, firsthand
accounts – all contributed by our young
team members, customers, even our
dealers. Read more about this on page 20.
It’s always nice to receive positive
feedback about our efforts to produce an
informative and fun magazine to keep you
updated with our goings on. On page 17
we thank our readers who have taken the
time to write in and share this feedback
with us. We would love to hear more
feedback whether positive or constructive,
to make our journal more vibrant,
informative and useful to our readers. Do
write into
and share your thoughts with me. Your
input does matter greatly.
Once again, here is wishing you a
wonderful 2011. We look forward to sharing
our journey throughout the year with you.

Cover Story 1
As Milton Friedman’s adage goes, “The
business of business is business”. Over
time, this view has drastically changed. In
fact, if you look at the recent Economic
Times Awards for Corporate Excellence
held in January 2011, India Inc. is taking
philanthropy to the next level, by
integrating social issues into their
business strategies. This highlights the
importance of Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR), not just as an act of
benevolence, but to sustain the creation of
wealth in the corporate context. “The size
of endowments has changed remarkably
Cover Story
Premier's Corporate Social Responsibility
• On September 18, 2010, Ms Erica de Souza,
Head - Corporate Communications, Premier Ltd,
was a panelist at an industry interaction on the topic of
“Corporate Social Responsibility”. Issues related to CSR
were discussed and debated.
• The event was organised by Bharati Vidyapeeth
University’s Amplify Mindware – Department of
Information Technology.
The IMTMA (Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association) Vinod Doshi Outstanding Entrepreneur in Machine Tools’ AwardThis award, instituted in memory of the
late Mr Vinod Doshi, one of the founding
fathers of IMTMA and the IMTEX trade-
based exhibition, is given to someone who
has shown an outstanding record of first
generation entrepreneurship in building
machine tool companies in India. This
person is chosen by an awards committee
constituted solely for this purpose,
comprising eminent persons from the
industry. On January 21, 2010, the first

Here are some organizations that Premier supports through sponsorships Confederation of

in 2010, making the world sit up and take
notice,” says Pranab Mukherjee, Finance
Minister (India). We, at Premier, have not
only kept in line with this trend, but have
also been ahead of our time in some
aspects.
Reflecting the vision of the Vinod Doshi
group, Premier’s Chairman and Managing
Director, Mr Maitreya Doshi, who is also
managing trustee of the ‘Shri Lalchand
Hirachand Premier Trust’, a public charity
trust named after the eminent industrialist,
the group donates over Rs 1 crore every
year to support education, health and
cultural activities. Premier Ltd does not
contribute company funds towards the
Trust’s corpus. The two activities are
kept separate. While Premier’s focus is
to create stakeholder value, our CSR
initiatives focus on our people and of
course, a greener planet (something that
we all need to invest in today). Last year,
saw several such initiatives from both the
Trust and Premier Ltd. Let’s take a trip
down memory lane to visit some of these
milestones in the arenas of the Arts &
Culture , Education, Industry and
Community Welfare.
Entrepreneur Award was given to
Mr Antony Rasquinha, Chairman,
Electropneumatics & Hydraulics (India) Private
Ltd. Pune. Once again, the Doshi family’s
vision has been a fertile ground for talent and
hard work to be recognised & appreciated.
The award was presented on January 20,
at IMTEX 2011.
Look out for the special coverage of
IMTEX 2011 in the next issue of the
Premier Journal.

CHIP (Children in Pain)
Launched in 2004, CHIP Mumbai
works to address the lack of quality
education in schools for the
underprivileged in Mumbai, through
several social interventions. These
include pre–primary Balwadis and primary
after school programs (for example -
theatre, art programs, study classes,
computer classes, among others). One
such initiative, the ‘After School Program’
(ASP), run by CHIP, got our Trust’s
attention. We were keen to be a part of the
program that provides a safe and
supportive environment for these children.
The program is supervised by adults and
offers various growth enhancing
opportunities that contributes to their
holistic development.
Premier supported the following in 2010:
• A theater workshop for 60 children from
the Oshiwara Municipal Schoo, aging
10 to 12 years.
• Judo classes for 60 children aging 10 to
12 years.
• A summer holiday camp
• Weekly dance classes with the Shaimak
Davar Victory Art foundation
• A girl child’s empowerment program

Leena (named changed) has lived with
being HIV + since birth. She had been
going through relapses of herpes for over
a year. Due to the bureaucratic red tapism
of government hospitals, her treatment
kept getting postponed. She is also the
daughter of a prostitute mother, who
works in Falkland Road area, Mumbai’s
largest red light district.
The Apne Aap Women’s Collective
(AAWC) is an NGO working with brothel-
based prostitutes and other marginalised
women and their children in the Falkland
Road area since 1998. The collective runs
Apne Aap Women's Collective (AAWC)two programs, for the children of women
in brothel-based prostitution, called
‘Udaan’ (aimed at providing education,
vocational skills, recreational activities,
medical care, psychological counseling,
nutritious meals and job placements to
enable their all round development) and
‘Umaang’, a complete day care centre for
toddlers between 2-6 years. The Shri
Lalchand Hirachand Premier Trust has
supported both these programs for the
last three years. Through the Trust’s
support, Apne Aap has been able to
extend the hours and the scope of Umang
Apne Aap organizing a medical camp for the children Growth through education
with noticeable improvement in toddlers’
health, fewer children suffering from skin
diseases, lack of sleep, and stomach
problems.
Today, thanks to the empathy of the
doctors associated with Apne Aap,
Leena’s treatment is being done privately.
She was one of our Umang beneficiaries,
now she is going to school and is in the
Udaan program. She is recovering and
gaining weight. Her mother gets monthly
groceries to feed her.
Cover Story2
1. Adding more trees to the planet
through its ‘Grow more Trees
Campaign’. Taking the initiative to
make the planet a greener place,
Premier planted various tree saplings
in Pune. The factory, itself, currently
has around 1400 plants growing
around its campus.
2. Proactively switching over to
environmentally friendly packaging of
machinery, aligned with international
packaging standards. Premier has
pioneered the use of alternative
resources in packaging heavy
machinery. The traditional practice of
using timber has been replaced with
metal-based materials such as steel
and aluminum, after considering the
pros and cons of the machine size,
weight and taking into account the
protective aspects of the material as well.
3. Energy conservation is done by:
• Continuously monitoring and
maintaining our plant’s power factor to
1.00 (Unit) power on a daily basis
With the Indian Forest Conservation Ministry’s mounting concern on deforestation, the corporate world is opting for
‘greener’ alternatives in existing operations. Premier has contributed to this theme by:
• Clubbing air compression into a grid
format, thereby saving 22000 KWH per month
• Installing new energy efficient T5 lights
and transparent sheets (for added
natural light) in our vehicle assembly line
• Educating our employees through on
the job training to use electrical energy
efficiently
4. As per MPCB requirement, the
Company has installed the Sewage
Treatment Plant (STP) and waste water
is recycled and is used for our garden.
Similarly we have also created a new
Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) system for
separation of waste oil & coolant & same
water is again recycled for garden use.
Blood is a life saving fluid and is priceless. We, at Premier,
organised our own blood donation drive on March 20, 2010 (the
birthday of the late Shri Vinod Doshi, founder and former
Chairman of Premier Ltd). The response was overwhelming and
employees from across the company came forward to
contribute towards saving lives. The drive yielded great results
with 129 units of blood collected. This collection was then given
to Sahyadri Hospital, Pune.

Go Green with Premier
While performing his duties on the shop
floor, Mr Bhimrrao Munde, who was then a
contractual work man at Premier, met with
a very unfortunate accident. His hands got
entangled in the machine he was working
on, which led to profuse bleeding and
ultimately the loss of his left hand. While
accidents on the job are not desirable by
any company, it is often a psychologically
devastating experience for the patient as
well as family and loved ones, who need
support during such trying times.
One such person who understands this
better than anyone is Mr Adhikari, our
President. “Premier isn’t just my
organization, it’s my family” says Adhikari.
Mr. Munde got immediate medical attention
at the nearest hospital. Mr Adhikari, on
behalf of Premier, was constantly there to
support him and his family, not just
monetarily, but also emotionally. Regular
visits and constant communication with the
doctor saw Mr Munde and his family
through this ordeal.
Even more heartening was, that the
company not only paid all his dues, but
also gave him computer and soft-skills
training and took him on as a permanent
employee in the administration department.
“Premier is not just my organisation, it is my family”
- M D Adhikari, President, Premier Ltd.

Today, Mr Munde is married, content and
settled in his new life. He gives complete

The main objective of the Conservation Act
Trust is to educate and enlighten decision
makers and the public about the
importance of forests for our survival.
Following an original film ‘Inside India’s
Forests – Seeing the Wood for its Trees’,
which tells a story of protecting our
environment, this subsequent film, funded
by the Shri Lalchand Hirachand Premier
Trust, shares the inconvenient truths about
India’s forests.

The film is directed by Gurmeet Sapal, a
New Delhi- based filmmaker, whose
wildlife and environmental films have been
sensitising viewers (especially children)

It was in one such self-doubting phase
that I got to know about the Vinod Doshi
Fellowship awards. It was the time when I

on hold for a little while. So for me, more
than anything else the fellowship was a
sign that I was on the right track and I
have to patiently move forward, without
giving up…”
As a mark of respect to our founder Chairman, the late Shri Vinod Doshi, who was
passionate about theatre, this annual theater festival has been sponsored by
Premier Ltd. since 2009. The idea was we make Hindi and Marathi theatre
experience accessible, to as many enthusiasts as possible.
In 2010, the event was held over a period of 5 days, from March 22 - 26. The three
Marathi plays and two Hindi plays selected for the event were showcased in
Mumbai at the NCPA auditorium and Ravindra Natya Mandir auditorium and
were repeated in Pune at Yashwantrao Natya Mandir auditorium.
An overwhelming response was received for the event. The festival was open to
the public at a very nominal fee. Look out for exclusive coverage on the 3rd
Annual Vinod Doshi Theater Festival in the next issue of the Premier journal.

since 1998 when he graduated from IIMC.
His repertoire of films include “Leopards in
the Lurch”, which won a special mention
from the jury at Vatavaran in 2007 and his
debut film, ‘Chasing Butterflies’ – a natural
history film on the beauty of butterflies and
their role in the ecosystem, which won the
best film award at Vatavaran in 2002 & was
shown to lakhs of children all over India.
The film is projected to be launched
around February 2011.
Every year, in memory of the legendary
Shri Vinod Doshi, the Trust, along with

The laboratory is named "Vinod Doshi
Memorial Production Engineering

The laboratory was inaugurated on

occasion was imminent Lok Sabha MP
from Baramati, Mrs. Supriya Sule.
Additionally, the Doshis have also
instituted five annual scholarships called
the Vinod Doshi COEP Merit Scholarships,
for students with strong academic
credentials, but severe financial need.
Each scholarship, of Rs 2.5 lakh, covers
the student’s entire tuition fee, lodging,
boarding and course material required
during the four-year degree program.
The only condition is that they maintain
their academic performance, failing which,
the scholarship will be withdrawn.
The students are selected by the COEP
faculty and the Trust is not involved
in the process.
The recipients are offered a paid summer
internship at Premier’s factory in
Chinchwad for the four years at his/her
option. “We get to manually work on
various machines, which helps breathe life
into the theories we learn in the
classroom. The line managers are not only
well-versed in the field, but also patiently
supportive through our learning process,”
says Anirudha Kulkarni, third year B.Tech
Production Engineering student, who also
trained in the Machine Tool Division.
On the successful completion of his/ her
degree, the student is also guaranteed a
job at Premier Ltd. The choice of accepting
this offer, however, is left to the student
with no obligation imposed by Premier or
the trust.
What’s more is that Premier also
preempted the need to properly train the
COEP faculty about the operation and
functioning of these machines. To serve
the purpose, a training program was
conducted at the factory for the production
department staff, to impart detailed
operational information of the new CNC
technology.
During the training in June 2010, they went
through CNC programming, part
programming, machining operations,
maintenance of machines, safety
measures and new concepts in
engineering.
Premier is the best company for engineers like us to start with, as it provides us opportunities to explore and implement new ideas at work. The I Suggest scheme of Premier is very useful for young engineers like us.

Ms. Erica de Souza interacting with the IIPM students
On September 14 & 17, 2010 the third year
students of Vivekanand Education
Society's Polytechnic- Mumbai, who are
specialising in industrial electronics visited
the factory as part of an Industrial project.
They were taken around the factory and
were explained processes and technical
details at the shop, exposing them to a
true manufacturing set up. The students
were enthusiastic and excited about the
technology used by Premier. Testimonials
given by the institute and the students
helped us define their experience with us.
“The cooperation extended by every
member on the shop floor was highly
appreciable. The visit motivated
students to think and apply their
knowledge practically.”- Mr V B Joshi
(Principal Vivekanand Education Society
Polytechnic).
On October 15, 2010 Ms Erica de Souza, Head - Corporate
Communications, visited Indian Institute of Packaging Management
(IIPM), a management institute in Mumbai. The institute is known for its
renowned association with prestigious institutes such as University of
Virginia, Mc Combs School of Business and Cornell University- ILR
School.
The objective of the talk was to orient management students with the
rich heritage of Premier Ltd. and its journey ahead. The session was an
interactive one with participation from the students.
Women employees at Premier now have a third uniform option.
Recognising recruitment trends of attracting more women to the
workforce, the management decided to get a makeover for ladies’
uniforms as well. Both the popular current options still prevail i.e.
the Premier saree and Premier salwar khameez and now we have
a another option as well. We were keen to design an outfit which
was smart, comfortable and in keeping with the Premier
corporate colours. This led to the introduction of the new ladies
western wear, a shirt and a formal trouser in a beige and blue
combination. A blue scarf around the neck completes the look.

Ms. Erica de Souza interacting with the IIPM students
On September 14 & 17, 2010 the third year
students of Vivekanand Education
Society's Polytechnic- Mumbai, who are
specialising in industrial electronics visited
the factory as part of an Industrial project.
They were taken around the factory and
were explained processes and technical
details at the shop, exposing them to a
true manufacturing set up. The students
were enthusiastic and excited about the
technology used by Premier. Testimonials
given by the institute and the students
helped us define their experience with us.
“The cooperation extended by every
member on the shop floor was highly
appreciable. The visit motivated
students to think and apply their
knowledge practically.”- Mr V B Joshi
(Principal Vivekanand Education Society
Polytechnic).
On October 15, 2010 Ms Erica de Souza, Head - Corporate
Communications, visited Indian Institute of Packaging Management
(IIPM), a management institute in Mumbai. The institute is known for its
renowned association with prestigious institutes such as University of
Virginia, Mc Combs School of Business and Cornell University- ILR
School.
The objective of the talk was to orient management students with the
rich heritage of Premier Ltd. and its journey ahead. The session was an
interactive one with participation from the students.
Women employees at Premier now have a third uniform option.
Recognising recruitment trends of attracting more women to the
workforce, the management decided to get a makeover for ladies’
uniforms as well. Both the popular current options still prevail i.e.
the Premier saree and Premier salwar khameez and now we have
a another option as well. We were keen to design an outfit which
was smart, comfortable and in keeping with the Premier
corporate colours. This led to the introduction of the new ladies
western wear, a shirt and a formal trouser in a beige and blue
combination. A blue scarf around the neck completes the look.

Institute of Packaging Management (IIPM) meets Premier
The visit was organised in a thoroughly professional manner and it
proved a real time experience, which converted our imagination into a
realisation… Even Mr Adhikari’s closing message stood as a milestone
for us.
– Ms. Zalak Dave (daughter of Mr. Pradeep Dave- Sr. Manager Premier Ltd.)
and Mr. Abhijit Mali (HOD- Industrial Electronics, respectively.)

Mr. S. N. Pradeep PrasadAGM –Design, Machine Tool Division, Bengaluru
• PVM 40 Vertical machining center has
been designed for yielding high speed,
high precision and excellent stability
on production of large work piece with
Z-axis stroke of 510mm.
• High end performance is ensured by
using stress relieved rigid cast iron
ribbed structures for machine base,
spindle head, column, cross slide and
table. The well balanced machine cast
structures provides dynamic stability
and performance.
• These machines are equipped with
Precision Hardened, Ground Ball
Screws and Linear Motion Guideways
for excellent positional accuracy and
repeatability. Rapid traverse rate of
32000 mm/min for X, Y & Z axis and
Feed Rate upto 10000 mm/min with
absolute Encoder.
• For accurate, cost effective & high
speed machining, PVM40 has a
balanced spindle with a set of
Precision Angular Contact Bearings
grease lubricated for life.
• To secure better machining
parameters, the machines are
equipped with a direct drive BT-40,
10000 RPM cartridge type spindle
assembly with oil chilling unit and high
pressure coolant through tool facility.
Premier’s PSS 300 Gear shaving is the first fully indigenous Gear Shaving machine
developed with a rich, traditional gear cutting technology experience. PSS 300 has
a compact design, is rigid and simple to construct. This allows easy setup, makes
its operations and maintenance simple.
Some of its key features are as follows:

Premier Ltd. is the Indian representative for these Itallian Machine brands.
• PSS shaver can easily shave the
gears up to module 5 with gear tooth
width upto max mm100 (DIAGONAL/
PARALLEL CYCLE)*with diagonal/
parallel shaving which makes PSS
300 as the best choice for shaving of
automotive gears/shafts, synchro
gears, motor cycle gears and pump
gears etc.
• PSS Shaver can perform shaving
cycles such as conventional,
diagonal, diagonal with
crowing/tapering, underpass and
plunge shaving.
• The plunge shaving cycles up to
module 3 can shave a gear upto 40mm.
The special menu driven program
generates the required shaving cycles
just by inputting the work piece and tool
data making the set up more simple.
• Due to the machines stringent
geometrical characteristics and the
heavy duty cutter head design, the
machine can produce the required
shaving quality class of gears.

Team Automotive Speaks
I joined Premier only six months ago, as
a management trainee in the automotive
division marketing team, but I feel as if I
have been working here for several
years. The work environment is great at
Premier and the support that I have
received from my seniors is
unbelievable. The product RiO is unique
and is being manufactured with state-of-
the-art technology by capable, efficient
and experienced people. This
experience will definitely help me grow
and enhance my career today and in the
years to come.
- Nidhi Singh
Management Trainee
(Marketing)
I joined Premier Ltd in July, 2010, as a
management trainee and am
thoroughly enjoying my training
period. In addition to the friendly
environment in the company,
of the corporate world,
which is really appreciated. Seniors
and top management in this company
are very approachable, which keeps
me motivated to work. For me, it is a
pleasure working here, because I am
growing both personally and
professionally.
- Prachi Kothari,

good exposure
I have been working in Premier’s
marketing department since four months. I
receive a lot of support and motivation
from my superiors, which helps me
enhance my skills. Premier is a renowned
company, with an inspiring work culture. It
is a pride to be a part of Premier Ltd.
- Raymond Gomes
Management Trainee
(Marketing)
“We are glad at the re-entry of the pioneers
of the Indian automobile industry. Premier
gives us amongst
the various foreign companies present in
the Indian market.
With its re-entry in the market with one of its
best products, RiO, it is soon going to
become a benchmark for many existing and
new companies of the auto industry. RiO, is
not just a new car, it’s a new segment all
together.
It’s hard to understand, how Premier easily
manages to retain its sensitivity to the Indian
needs, with no compromise to the
international standards.
It would not be wrong if I conclude by
saying, "THE REVOLUTION BEGINS!!!!"

Employees in Focus -Special focus on Heavy Engineering employees in this issue
Nagraj KuntojiProject and Application Engineer, Heavy Engineering Division
The popular adage, “Education and learning has no bounds” has been
very rightly proved by our very own Mr Nagraj Kuntoji (AGM-heavy
engineering division). A man with a true spirit to improve in life through
learning has just been felicitated with a post-graduate certification in
Engineering Business Management by the prestigious University of
Warwick. He has a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and a
diploma in Business Management. Starting his career as trainee engineer
with a vision and desire to reach the top, Nagraj displayed his capabilities
through his hard work and continuous quest for knowledge. He
continued working and simultaneously pursued a post-graduation
degree in Engineering Business Management through distance
education, all this while managing a career and family. But all work and
no play isn’t his motto – he is also a sports enthusiast and plays cricket
and volley ball at the district level.
Way to go Nagraj!
Premier’s heavy engineering team participates in the “Delhi International Renewable Energy Conference and Exhibition (DIREC) 2010:
In October 2010, Mr Nagraj from our
heavy engineering division participated
in DIREC, an international exhibition
and expo by the Government of India.
The objective of the event was - “Up
scaling and main streaming of
renewable energy, security, climate
change and economic development”.
DIREC 2010 was a meeting, wherein
senior executives, legislative branches
of the government, national and
international level organisations, the
civil society, the finance and business
community came together to discuss
opportunities to advance the integration
of renewable energy. The conference
enhanced Premier’s international
business opportunity and was also a
great learning experience for the
participants.
The President, Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil lighting the lamp to inaugurate the Delhi
International Renewable Energy Conference (DIREC) 2010, organised by the Ministry of New &
Renewable Energy, in New Delhi on October 26, 2010. The Union Minister for New and
Renewable Energy, Dr. Farooq Abdullah and the Union Power Minister, Shri Sushil Kumar Shinde
were also present.

Mangesh Salve, a graduate from the College of Engineering Pune and now a
trainee engineer with our heavy engineering division at Premier, has been working
with us since June 2010. A multi-talented youngster, who with his dedication to
work, happy-go lucky nature and politeness has won the hearts of many in the
company.
Mangesh has several great qualities that he is known for, but something that many
don’t know about him is that he is a wonderful artist. In a brief interview with him,
he agreed (with great enthusiasm) to show us his paintings and sketches. For
someone who hasn’t had any formal training in art, his work left us completely awe
struck. His paintings convey a sense of joy in being alive and realistic.
Premier is really proud to have Mangesh as part of our team and we
encourage him to keep on painting.Mangesh R SalveProject and Application EngineerHeavy Engineering Division

Mangesh Salve, a graduate from the College of Engineering Pune and now a
trainee engineer with our heavy engineering division at Premier, has been working
with us since June 2010. A multi-talented youngster, who with his dedication to
work, happy-go lucky nature and politeness has won the hearts of many in the
company.
Mangesh has several great qualities that he is known for, but something that many
don’t know about him is that he is a wonderful artist. In a brief interview with him,
he agreed (with great enthusiasm) to show us his paintings and sketches. For
someone who hasn’t had any formal training in art, his work left us completely awe
struck. His paintings convey a sense of joy in being alive and realistic.
Premier is really proud to have Mangesh as part of our team and we
encourage him to keep on painting.Mangesh R SalveProject and Application EngineerHeavy Engineering Division

If you have any special story please share it with Ms. Erica de Souza, Head - Corporation Communication at [email protected]
If the person who invented the wheel
had peeped into the future, he would
have patented the rights to use it.
Patents are monopoly rights granted by
the State to an investor for a limited
period, in respect to the invention. If the
patented inventions are commercialized,
inventors get rewards in terms of money
and recognition. It helps society at large
in the form of newer and better products.
Patents encourage technological
innovations and stimulates growth.
Patents also help the spread of
prosperity and ensure optimum
utilization of resources.
In India, patents are granted for a period
of 20 years. The patentee gets the
exclusive rights to use the patent in the
form of commercial exploitation. The
patentee can also license or sell the
invention for a limited period of time.
After the expiry of patent terms, anybody
from the public can use the invention as
it passes in to the public domain. During
the currency of the patent, the patentee
has rights to file a suit against
infringement of the patent and get the
compensation for it.
According to the Indian Patents Act, a
patentable invention is defined as “a new
product or process involving an inventive
step and capable of industrial
application. Something that is already
known is not patentable.” To be
patentable, the invention has to be
capable of industrial application.
However, industry does not necessarily
involve the use of machinery or
manufacturing of any article. It can include
any useful and practical activity.
Business houses generally establish
internal policies for assessing and making
decisions on patenting.
In the last decade, the automobile industry
underwent a paradigm shift due to several
reasons, first being innovation and the
second being patents. Not just
automobiles, but the basic ingredient of
the success recipe of all business majors
is- Intellectual Property Rights [IPR],
meaning “the rights given to a person for
creative work”. The process of IPR begins
with filing an application, along with the
brief of the intellectual property according
to the procedure of documentation by the
Commission. When all the requirements
are met, the patent is granted.
At Premier, we ensure innovation in
designing, and even in executing a
process. We constantly strive to create
systems and work environments that help
develop our team’s intellect, thereby
extracting the best out of our design
capability. We ensure cross-functional
mobility that helps acquire multiple-skills,
thereby giving us an opportunity to
develop technologies that are unique. To
prevent the misuse of these unique
technologies, these are filed for IPR, giving
us the prerogative to use it for the benefit
of the industry, as well as society.

One of the biggest
enemies of an

paper. Paper seems to
take on a life of its own.
There are two simple
rules to remember
when handling paper:
1.When you don’t need
to keep it, toss it.
2.When you do need to
keep it, file it.........

Change in tool

This reduces the
vibration level while
machining on the cvt 150
machine. These
machines are used for
s.g.iron production of the
blade adaptor. This will
increase the depth of the
cut from 3 mm to 5 mm,
will reduce the cycle time
by 30 mins and will also
reduce the setting and

There are two sensors
in the water outlet box
of BS iii (NA) engine.
One of these sensors is
not useful for the
vehicle; therefore
instead of the sensors,
simple plugs should be
used. Benefit from this
suggestion is that, if we
use simple plugs
instead of sensor, it will
save our cost...
