Developing Safety Data Sheets at IIT Bombay
Indian Speciality Chemical Manufacturers’
Association, an all Indian body representing
manufacturers of small to large scale of
speciality chemicals collaborated with the
Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT
Bombay to co-host an Executive education
course on Developing Safety Data Sheet.

This course was held on the 7th December

2019 at the Jalvihar Conference Room,
about 40 participates (Annexure 1) from
different companies and varying levels of
experiences participated in the course. Mr. Vinit Patel treasurer ISCMA welcomes
Dr. Rahul Nabar
Two eminent speakers from the faculty to the
real time work shared their expertise on the
development of Safety Data Sheet.

Prof. Sandip Roy faculty of the Department of

chemical engineering shared his expertise on
key aspects of Safety data sheets (SDS),
MSIHCR/OSHA/GHS guidelines for SDS
preparation, SDS Contents.

Dr Rahul Nabar, Adj. Assoc. Professor, Dept.

of Chemical Engineering, IIT Bombay spoke on
Safety data sheets in the context of EU
Exports & REACH regulation.

To cover up the course in a nutshell; Material

Mr. Vinit Patel treasurer ISCMA welcomes Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) alternately known
Prof. Sandip Roy as Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a measure for
handling or working with hazardous
substance in a safe manner. It is a
documented information of chemicals to be accessible to everyone prior to handling or exposure to
or working with a hazardous material. The Global Harmonized System (GHS) by itself is not a
regulation nor a standard; it is introduced and encouraged so as to level the protection of workers,
consumers, the general public and the
e n v i r o n m e n t g l o b a l l y. R E A C H
(Registration, Evaluation, Authorization
and Restriction of chemical substances)
is a massive European Union regulatory
structured for products to be placed in
the EU nations market. It addresses the
use and production of chemicals and
their impact on human and the
environment; It is therefore required to
establish administrative and product
management systems to facility
compliance with REACH. According to
REACH, SDS must be provided by Participants - Developing Safety Data Sheets
suppliers according to the format of GHS

for labelling and classication (Annexure 2). The course also focused and discussed on real time
challenges by Indian Exports to the EU, compiling an SDS (Sections as below), Condential aspects
while preparing SDS, sources of information for SDS preparation, registering in REACH etc.

When implemented, GHS will:

l Enhance the protection of human health and the environment by providing an internationally
comprehensible system for hazard communication.
l Provide a recognised framework for those countries without an existing system.
l Reduce the need for testing and evaluation of chemicals.
l Facilitate international trade in chemicals whose hazards have been properly assessed and
identied on an international basis.

Annexure 2: Hazard Pictogram

Contents of the SDS are:
Section 1: Identication
Section 2: Hazard identication
Section 3: Composition/information on ingredients
Section 4: First-aid measures
Section 5: Fire-ghting measures
Section 6: accidental release measures
Section 7: Handling and storage
Section 8: Expose controls/personal protection
Section 9: Physical and chemical properties

Dr.K.S.Murthy, Pidilite Industries Ltd

ISCMA featured twin talks by BIL Alumni Association on Project 'Kaushalya' post Thermax
Ltd on 'Conserving Resources and Preserving Future' on 12th November 2019. Messers
Shailendra Dhamdere (HR), G.S.Ramesh, Subhash Palkar (IT) and Pravash Bhattacharya
(logistics) of BIL Alumni Association (formed
in 2014, 100 members of former BASF India
Ltd employees with 5 years' experience in
chemical industry) spoke on skill development
at Mumbai and Chennai with objective of
giving back to society. They intend to share
their knowledge and support Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises (MSME) sectors;
s t a ke h o l d e r s , o w n e r s w h o a r e n o t
technocrats in HR, logistics, delegation of
power; workforce and employees in sales,
marketing, IT etc. They had recently conducted a workshop on MSDS for 30 attendees
at IIT-B.

94% of business is driven by micro enterprises and 0.2% by medium enterprises. Initiatives
of government for the benet of industry are better technology, ease of doing business and
safeguarding employees. Challenges are business environment; lack of orders; pressure on
prices; cutthroat competition; rising raw material and labour costs; tight money market;
employees retention and right employees etc. Pollution control issues, factors inuencing
business in terms of prots, sales, price, productivity, quality, inventory, receivables, raw
material purchases, labour management, employee output, providing better systems,
taxation, supply chain; transportation safety and fund management.

One Stop Shop for Output: Education unless linked to the industry would not generate
workable people productive in the industry. Duration of training, project and follow up
reviews, areas like EHS; compliance on HR; transportation safety; exports; IT and systems
management; supply chain; engineering projects e.g. plant erection; planning and budgetary
control; marketing of new products; sales etc. Methodology includes classroom training,
individual group consultancy, one to one and mentoring. Training for workforce (certicates
for participation); identication, building capabilities, enhance collaboration, and motivation.
Capability matrix of organisation - identifying training needs and engage appropriate
trainers. Advise and consultation on HR policies, unions and labour audits; advise on
innovative, compliant and cost-effective resource models. CSR projects – utilise for
benets of company as well as society. Project management scale up; consultation,
advisory and evaluation in terms of right technology; ROI; vendor evaluation, digitalisation.
Optimisation with reference to reduction of cost, minimise process keeping compliance
intact; budget - creating and monitoring subject to ones' requirement and work in
collaboration.

In conclusion, following the interest and response of members, prioritise and provide
guidelines e.g. topics for owners, EHS, logistics and HR since SME lack, exports, need of
the hour (considering 5% incentive discontinued in China), regulations and testing etc. Fix
up suitable date and time preceded by write up on topics for presentation and duration for
benet of the members.

 CHANGE AT THE HELM

Prof. A.B. Pandit takes over from Prof. G.D. Yadav as new Vice Chancellor
of ICT

Prof. A.B. Pandit, a renowned and highly respected chemical engineer, has taken over as
the new Vice Chancellor of the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), with campuses in
Mumbai, Jalna and Bhubaneshwar. He took
over the helm of affairs at India's leading
academic and research institute for chemical
technology, on November 29, 2019, after the
superannuation of Prof. G.D. Yadav, who
served as Vice Chancellor for a decade.

A formal handing-over ceremony took place at

the ICT campus on November 29, in the
presence of ICT Chancellor, Dr. R.A.
Mashelkar; Prof. M.M. Sharma, former
Director; and ICT faculty, staff and alumni.

Tributes to Prof. Yadav

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Mashelkar pointed to the amazing energy of Prof. Yadav that
is reected in ICT's stellar achievements in terms of institutional rankings in national and
international surveys; quality and number of publications; PhD students enrolled and
graduated; consultancy fees and their impacts “Professor Yadav's term as Vice
Chancellor was the most productive period of his career as a researcher,” he noted.

He also appreciated Prof. Yadav's efforts at projecting ICT relentlessly in national and
international forums, noting that in “institutional leadership one has to oversell.”

Prof. Sharma, who guided Prof. Yadav as a PhD student, also complemented Prof. Yadav
for working tirelessly, and for epitomising all the virtues of ICT – as a good teacher,
researcher and consultant to industry.

ICT's achievements
In an emotional speech, Prof. Yadav highlighted ICT's achievements over the decade,
noting that the campus at Bhubaneswar, set up with full funding from Indian Oil
Corporation, is unique in India. “The Odisha
government has only last week allocated 28-
acres of land for this campus, free of cost, and
promised another 30-acres,” he said, adding
that an overseas foray in Mauritius is also
under discussion. “We plan to establish 32
Centres of Excellence across the three
campuses, and set up a Research Centre at
the Matunga campus at an investment of Rs.
215-crore, for which funds are very much
needed.”

12 ISCMA HORIZONS
“My life spent in ICT was worth every moment and it has been an honour to guide a world-
class institute,” he commented.

Intangible metrics
Prof. Pandit assured that he will work to build on the strong legacy inherited, and focus
also on improving the intangible metrics: “happiness quotient” and “a sense of pride in all
stakeholders.” Some of the initiatives that are to be rolled out include steps for greater
empowerment of committees; reorienting teaching so as to instil critical thinking
amongst students; and inter-disciplinary research with emphasis on social and industrial
relevance. A prompt and responsive administration with accountability and transparency,
and the creation of diversied funding channels for the institute's development are some
other initiatives to be taken up.

Dr. Mashelkar also announced that Prof. Yadav will continue to serve ICT as Emeritus
Professor of Eminence.

ISCMA President and Past President Dr. Kishore M. Shah met with
Prof. A B Pandit and congratulate to him for taking over charge of

Thermax Ltd on Conserving Resources and Preserving Future

Dr.K.S.Murthy, Pidilite Industries Ltd

ISCMA featured twin talks by Thermax Ltd on 'Conserving

Resources and Preserving Future' followed by BIL Alumni Society on
'Project Kaushalya' on 12th November 2019. Mr.Rahul Shukla,
Manager (Sales & Marketing) with 20 years' experience in the boiler
industry spoke on Cooling, Heating, Steam accessory business of
Thermax Ltd ($900 turnover), Indian multinational company
associated with process industry for over 32 years; multiple
businesses like boilers (now using biomass fuel); thermal oil heaters
and awards for project cost saving besides earlier time duration. For heating solutions,
they provide hot air, hot water, steam and thermal oil; high pressure boilers for steel and
power plants and super critical boilers. Sustainable values and customer accolades are
respect, commitment, concern for environment in business as well as running business.
CSR (2%) is in education at 13 schools and employees allowed to take sabbatical for 5
years for teaching.

About 7 groups of Thermax focus on business and servicing customer. Petrochemical,

chemical, gases and oil and natural gas as per regulations of US (American Petroleum
Institute) norms. Understand the need of industry and design equipment (ANSI, ASTM).
Plants accredited with ISO 9000,
14000 and 18000 certications for
automated manufacturing with
extended life. Process industry
solutions are governed by EU
standards (EN, DIN). They supply hot
uids, hot water, hot oil and steam
and hot air for usage in processes.
Hot air up to 160oC, hot water (55,
90, 140 and 180oC); thermal oil (4
lacs kilo calories, 240oC); steam (50
kg per hour - 50 tons capacity); Aero
Therm system. Fuels are oil, natural
gas, LPG, furnace oil (efciency 89%),
biomass (pellets) replacing coal, wood, bagasse and process waste. Municipal waste as
fuel is contemplated. Services apart from designing systems provide equipment and
solutions besides energy saving, energy audit, operation and maintenance improvement;
Water or sewage treatment plants besides taking care of compressors. 120 sites are on
contract.

Depending upon fuels used, they choose the furnace and construct accordingly.
Multiplicity of fuel. Pollution norms are strict. Operation and maintenance should be easy
and various designs were introduced for this purpose. Semi-automatic boiler against
automatic structure saving on cost. Fuel feeding is from top with 11meter shed and while
for smaller boiler7.5 meters. Lower emission and higher efciency with automation.

Energy efciency and pollution abatement: They are on the board of energy efciency
management by Government of India. Provide heating (hot air, hot water, thermal oil,

ISCMA HORIZONS 17
steam) in 45,000 installations and for absorption cooling with compressor (vapour
compression cycle) to –10oC besides diesel generator, hot water eject for energy, power
plants (30, 300 megawatts); waste heat recovered from cement plants used for producing
steam from water to make power. Solar energy for hot water up to 200oC, solar power for
generating steam and 150 projects (up to 6 megawatts). Air pollution control and
abatement - suite and ue gases, technologies like air lter, electrostatic precipitator and
multiple gas towers; solid waste management incinerators for defence and industry and
hospital waste. Water, sewage and efuent treatment plants for ltration, dosing and RO
etc..

Chemicals for water

treatment, oil eld,
evaporation and specialty
chemicals like resins (forma,
gold rening) besides
construction and paper. Apart
from product or formulation,
provide solutions and services
on quantum basis (sourcing,
managing, quality and running
of boiler) e.g. steam on actual
consumption; biomass fuel
(carbon neutral; 25% cheaper
than oil red); their presence at smallest user to biggest of power plants.

Focus on combustion and heat transfer technology; oil technology and material science.
Associated with 25 universities for technology and research and government of India for
import substitutes (fuel cells for submarines for military and navy), technology development
and absorption with 55 technology tie ups. Cautious about safety being heavy material
intensive industry.

Strengths and Capabilities: Cost structure is consideration for individual or industry. 85%
of operating cost in equipment is fuel cost and buying decisions are governed by initial
investments on the machines notwithstanding efciencies. Combustions are not controlled
thereby more losses and improved designs take care of operation loss for efciency at all
loads. Apart from installation cost, rest are limited e.g. electricity 4%, water treatment
and depreciation costs are 1%.

When the prices of petrol, diesel and furnace oil soared high, the option was fossil fuel.
Assam coal is available for power plants and the rest are having 35-45% ash. Pet coke is
manufactured by Reliance and Gail, sugar plants used biofuel like bagasse, subsequently
biomass-based industry from coal-based energy. Challenges are multiplicity of fuel,
operating, sourcing and ash. Combustion efciency used to be 64% in the manual red boiler
and with advance technology, it is now 86%. Complete automated set up with reciprocating
grid, which is offered for capacities over 10 tons of boilers. Semi-automatic boiler with
automated fuel feeding, combustion takes place with less emission and ash deposition at
location. Change of fuel like Indonesian coal, biomass pellets can be used. Japan technology
innovation not only combust the fuel but also releases gases. Energy efciency tolerance is
2% and high efciency across operation cycle. At 80% load, the efciency is 85% and at
25% it is 81%. Other technologies offer 60%. Based on load requirements, they have

18 ISCMA HORIZONS
studied changes in fuel, air control, ash removal. Fuel feeding is from top and maximum height
required is 8 or 11 meters thereby industrial sheds are used with single man operation.
Advantage is lower emission and higher efciency automation.

High temperature thermal oil heaters. Separate combustion and coils were converted to
patented technology using high pressure water. Efciency increase is 8%. The limitations
were height besides temperature of 280oC though this kind of systems can be used up to
380oC. Space required was more besides efciency and pollution and one looks for multifuel
exibility, lower installation time and automatic operation.

New generation design from 4 generations while area was reduced by 50% and manufactured
pre-insulated welding. This necessitated new design called Ener Bloc. Stationary grid, public
bed and reciprocating grid were introduced. Membrane panel construction for boiler,
thermostat is below and heat exchanger on the top thereby reducing footprint. Double effect
heating economiser mounted on boiler is used with any fuel and without corrosion which can
increase efciency to 95%. Also, with efciency enhancement equipment. Thermo oil heater
from 25 lac kilo cal to 30 lac kilo cal with limitation up to 300oC. Yet another limitation is in
textile industry, which requires high temperature and high ow thermal oil, food industry -
high ow thermal oil and chemical industry needs different ow and heaters designed
accordingly. Thus, they have arrived at a concept called Thermal clutch, which is in between
heat exchanger. Compact installation with reduced installation time besides cost.

Oil and gas red boilers are not new with furnace oil as fuel with efciency is limited to 89%
due to sulphur content which causes corrosion, pollution thereby equipment corrodes. They
have introduced heat recovery unit and with air freighter ue gas temperature is reduced,
and efciency increased by 3%. NOX emission (≤50) pollution in Gujarat and they introduced
Double Effect Indirect Heating Economiser mounted on the boiler while efciency is increased
to 95% and used with any fuel without corrosion. Efciency Enhanced Equipment gives 94%
efciency. This boiler (1 ton to 30 tons per hour) offers 95% efciency on natural gas, 93% on
diesel and 92.5% on furnace oil. Plug and Play - connect the duct, fuel supply line and water
supply line saving on cost. Using natural gas or LPG, whatever ue gases emanating into
atmosphere (with latent heat) and from 140oC, curtail to 85oC due to which efciency
increases by 7% thereby resulting in 102% (7 + 95) efciency on cooling. Waste can be
covered leading to saving.

Mr.Shukla concluded that hot water (50, 60 and 90oC) requirement using heat pump which
takes atmospheric heat gives 55 or 75oC to water thereby saving 75% electricity. For 4-
kilowatt heat output, I kilowatt electricity needs to be supplied because there is a
compressor, fan and circulating pump. For hot air generation, use hot water or steam with
radiator and fan over it. Chemical ltration for pure air and hot air (140-160°C) etc.

ISCMA HORIZONS 19
 Program on High Potential Leadership

Date: 16th of August, 2019

Venue: ISCMA Head Ofce
Topic: High Potential Leadership

Objectives of the Program-

1. U n d e r s t a n d t h e T h r e e
Important Qualities of a High
Potential Leader
2. Learn the Five Best Skills of
a High Potential Leader
3. A n a l y z e Yo u r C u r r e n t
Potential and word towards
being Truly a High Potential
Leader
4. A c h i e v e B r e a k t h r o u g h
Results in Your Business and
Performance

Following is the Brief Summary of the Program

High Potential Leadership is a pre-requisite in any business organization irrespective of
the industry, scale, type of industry, number of people, type of job prole, etc. We just
cannot survive or grow without improving our leadership skills. In this complex
environment, it is therefore imperative to understand what constitutes High Potential
Leadership, What it really takes to be a Leader, What it takes to lead from the front and
make a massive difference to achieve our goals on a fast track.

This was the context and set-up at the beginning of the program. Inputs from all the
participants about what is their denition of High Potential Leadership were taken.

The Three Most Important Qualities of a High Potential Leader discussed were as follows:
1. Perceptual Acuity- Perceptual acuity is the psychological and mental preparedness
to “see around corners” and spot potentially signicant anomalies, contradictions,
and oddities in the external landscape before others. This Quality is of immense value
and importance especially when the external environment is so volatile and dynamic.
Examples were given from Steve Jobs- Apple Computers, Elon Musk- Tesla, Mukesh
Ambani- Reliance Industries etc.

2. Mindset to See Opportunity in Uncertainty- It is said that in the midst of chaos,

there is opportunity. This is one quality which distinguishes a leader from an ordinary
person. Everywhere in our daily routine, there is so much uncertainty. We cannot have
100 % conrmation about any task, report, project or outcome. In such a scenario, if
we see opportunity to take action and move towards our goals, then we can truly be a
high potential leader.

3. Nurture a Culture to Build Great Teams- A leader knows that it is almost impossible
to achieve great success and high impact goals all by himself. He needs to have a great

20 ISCMA HORIZONS
 team of people. But most importantly, he needs to nurture a culture within the
organization where good team leaders can thrive, where good team leaders can show
their talent, where good team leaders are fully self-expressive and show their full
talent to assist in achieving the common goals of the team.

After these three qualities were discussed, an opportunity was given to all participants to
do paired sharing exercise. They were told to connect these qualities with their
experiences and their background. It could be related to their business, work or even their
personal life viz. college, schools, family etc. wherever they demonstrated high potential
leadership qualities and achieved grand success. This sharing grounded the learnings and
eased the comprehension of the concepts.

The second part of the Coaching Program focused on building the Skill-Sets of a High
Potential Leader. There are 5 skills and each skill has three sub-skills. Briey they are
discussed as follows:
1. Increase the Return on Your Time (RoYT)
i. Prioritizing
ii. Clear Goal-Setting
iii. Be Decisive
2. Multiply the Energy & Skills of Those Around You
i. Identify a Person's Gifted Talent
ii. Build Other People's Strength
iii. Quick Adaptability to Changes
3. Be a Master of Big Ideas and Execution
i. Make Your Big Ideas Better
ii. Learn the Skills of Seamless Execution
iii. Ask Incisive Questions
4. Get to Know Customers, Competitors, and the Macro Environment
i Observe consumer Experience
ii Know the Competition
iii Keep up with the Technology
5. Build Your Mental Capacity
i. Keep Learning
ii. Networking
iii. Widen Your Lens

One crucial distinction discussed in the program is the denition of VUCA world and how
this denition alters for an ordinary person to an extraordinary person.

Vuca World Denition For Vuca World Denition

Ordinary Person For Extraordinary Person
V= VOLATILITY V= VISION
U= UNCERTAINITY U= UNDERSTANDING
C= COMPLEXITY C= CLARITY
A= AMBIGUITY A= AGILITY

Conclusion
At the end, each and every participant was then given a self-analysis test to score on a
most objective basis their current ranking of being a High Potential Leader. It revealed

ISCMA HORIZONS 21
their overall ranking. And also gave them a detailed analysis of their ranking on all the 5
skills sets. This was a biggest eye-opener for each participant who got access on where
one needs to improve and how he or she can truly become a High Potential Leader in his
business and life.

4. Achieve Breakthrough Results
i n Yo u r B u s i n e s s a n d
Performance

Following is the Brief Summary of

the Program
Marketing & Sales is an Integral part of Every Organization. Marketing is considered the
life blood of every business. It is said that Business starts with a Sale. It is therefore
imperative that we master this critical function and win the game of marketing. This was
the context of the program.

The program started with a Winning Edge Concept. It dened This concept as Small
differences in ability can lead to enormous differences in results

What is the Best Time to Make a Sale ?

It was discovered that the best time to Make A Sale is Just After Making a Sale. You have
the power of Momentum and this is very powerful to start a cycle of successful sales.

The Two Major Obstacles to Sales Success were analyse-

1. The Fear of Failure- The Fear of Failure is the biggest single reason for failure in adult
life. It is not failure itself, but the fear of failure, the prospect of failure, the
anticipation of failure. Every customer has made countless buying mistakes.
Purchased services which were overpriced; Bought products that broke down;Sold
things that he did not want, could not use, and could not afford

2. The Fear of Rejection- Potential buyer might say NO !; Possibility of Rudeness,

disapproval or criticism.

What is the Probability of Getting a No? 80 % of the Sales calls, will end in a 'NO', for a
thousand different reasons. So, if you are in sales and you fear rejection, you've picked the
wrong way to make a living.

The Salesperson's Average Day was analyzed Study of Columbia University Average

ISCMA HORIZONS 23
 Salesperson works only 90 minutes per day The rst sales call is not made before 11:00
a.m.

The nal sales call is usually made at about 3:30 p.m. in the afternoon. Spend half the
morning getting warmed up, drinking coffee, chatting with co-executives, reading the
paper, shufing their desk, and surng the Internet & Social Media.

An Unproductive Day
All Reasons and Excuses throughout the Day Morning Afternoon Evening Day Over

Increase Travel Time

One meeting with Churchgate One meeting at Virar One Meeting at Thane

Market Research of 50 Hot Qualied Prospects

Guaranteed a Sale to virtually every single person you spoke to in a one-day period
Would you waste your time and work effectively for only 90 minutes ?

Key to dealing with Rejection

Rejection is NOT PERSONAL
Sales Motto : 'SOME WILL, SOME WON'T SO WHAT ? SOMEONE'S WAITING !’

Why Follow-Up is Important ?

l 48 % of the People NEVER follow up with a Prospect
l 25 % of the People make a second follow up and QUIT
l Only 10 % People make more than three follow-ups
l RESULTS ?

l Whereas 80 % of the Sales is made between the 5th and 12th Follow-up

Connection of Sales with ___________

l One of the best denition of Sale is 'A Transfer of Enthusiasm'
l When you transfer your Enthusiasm for your product or service into the mind and
heart of your prospect, the sale takes place

Two Broad Categories of Motivators

Desire for Gain
Fear of Loss

Identify Your Products/Services Gains & Losses

l Desire for Gain has a motivational power of 1.0
l But Fear of loss has a negative motivational power of 2.5
l People are much more motivated to buy if they feel they are going to lose something by
NOT buying, than they are in anticipation of the benets they will enjoy if they DO buy.
l Use BOTH.

Which is more important Emotions or Logic?

24 ISCMA HORIZONS
Buying Decisions are Emotional
l People decide emotionally and then justify logically
l You use logic to justify and rationalize your decision once you have made it.

Master Technique in Selling

Open Ended Questions
l Words such as what, where, when, how, who, why and which
l These questions cannot be answered with a simple yes or no.
l They require a more expanded answer, which gives an opportunity to understand the
true needs of the prospect

Why Questioning ?
l As a rule, the person who asks questions has CONTROL !

Key Distinction
The Sale takes place with the words, but the buying takes place in the _______
Pause & Listen
l Many salespeople speak too loudly and too fast because they are nervous
l They are uncomfortable with silence
l They feel that they have to ll every single moment with some wise comment or
observation
l Be sure to allow moments of silence in the conversation
l Allow the customer to reect on and digest what you are saying
l Don't rush
l Be calm and relaxed

Want to be Sold v/s Want to Buy

What will happen in a year !

l Do this exercise for 5 days a week
l 100 Ideas per week
l In 50 weeks, you will have 5000 ideas !
l Action on 1 idea each day, then you will have 250 ideas per year

If you were to implement 250 new ideas each year, do you think this would have any impact
on your life ?

ISCMA Diwali Get-Together

Nitasha Chawdhary and the entire team

of Nritya Jhankar Cultural Academy put
up a night of celebration of India, and its
diverse and rich culture. The Indian
Identity is shaped by Indian Culture and a
signicant part of our culture are the
festivals that we celebrate, that's the
spirit NJCA celebrated by taking a
journey down the familiar terrain of Mr. Vinay Patil - ISCMA President addressing gathering
festivities through the scenic route of
Kathak .

Starting off with a beautiful rendition dedicated to Lord Ganesh, the show opened with a
Ganesh Vandana.

This was followed by revering the Goddess Saraswati as the dancers personied the spirit of
Vasant Panchami. This spring celebration was followed by a routine dedicated to the aesetic
saviour Lord Shiva, signifying the festival of Shiv Ratri. Next, the performers encapture the
fun-loving and colorful spirit of holi. The joyous celebration of Holi gives way to the joyous
celebration of Eid and with a choreography based on Su Kathak.

The next presentation recreated the joyous occasion of the birth of Lord Shri Krishna, as the
dance celebrated the festival of Janamashtami. Following this festival of the North, the
western festival of Rajasthani Teej was portrayed in a delightful choreography full of energy
and classic rajasthani pirouettes. One can not mention festivals of west India without
mentioning the legendary Ganesh Chathurti, and the next choreography focused on the
jubiliant culture of the festival. Along came Navratri in the next presentation portraying the
eternal love of Radha and Krishna. Following that wonderful display, the biggest festival of the
year, one that brings together the whole nation, Diwali, was captured in a choreography that
was as explosive and joyful as Diwali crackers themselves.

The evening was concluded with a special nale performance that focused on the unity in
diversity that is at the heart of the Indian experience through a series of folk dances from
across the nation.

Padma Vibhushan Prof M. M. Sharma and U. Shekhar Launched C. N.
Sivaramakrishnan (CNS)'s Compendium on Surfactants

Dr. K. S. Murthy, Pidilite Industries Ltd

Colour Publications published inaugural edition of a

compendium on Surfactants by Mr.C.N.Sivaramakrisnan
and released at the hands of Prof M.M.Sharma and
Mr.U.Shekhar, Chairman, Galaxy Surfactants Ltd at the
preconference of Chroma Tex Chem Conference and
Exhibition powered by Colourage at Bombay Exhibition
Centre on 14th November 2019. For the last 3 years,
CNS worked on a series of surfactants, which play a
critical role in textile processing and compiled a
compendium for the industry. Graduated in textile
chemistry from UDCT (now ICT) in 1977, he read the
articles of late Prof W.B.Achwal and late R.H.Mehra in
journals and learnt the tricks of trade being a practitioner
and his writing inevitability. Mr.Dilip Raghavan Editor-
Publisher, Colour Publications anchored the proceedings.

Impressed with the exhibition showcase, Prof Sharma

congratulated Colourage for organising the function. He
said that textile industry is mother industry of India and
gave birth to chemical industry to provide auxiliaries for nishing and dyes for coloration
thereby dyestuff industry existence, which needed intermediates like phthalic anhydride to
anthraquinone. He complimented CNS for being prolic in securing the knowledge from
various sources and unveiled his earlier book and sent a message for the last one. With a mere
B.Sc (Tech) and without post graduate qualications CNS excelled in writing, he said.

Speaking on surfactants, he referred to

hydrotropes, microemulsions, micelles and a
wonder product is ice cream containing air
and water besides margarine and emulsion
formed with surfactant. One cannot live
without surfactants whether in use of toilet
soap or powder and conguration of
detergent powders has changed over the
years. He lamented that India is stuck with
LABS besides China, not ideal for polyester
based fabrics. Yet, fatty alcohol ethoxylate is
not done on a grand scale though dominance
of ethoxylates and derivatives. With
Mr C.N. Sivaramakrishnan, Prof M M Sharma &
Mr U Shekhar releasing the book
changeover of apparel containing cotton to
polyester, he appealed that planners should
take note of fatty alcohol ethoxylates on a big
scale. Petrochemicals can also be used for fatty alcohol offering advantages.

Mr. U. Shekhar (CMD)-Galaxy Surfactants Ltd. shared that he had a preview of the

30 ISCMA HORIZONS
compendium and said CNS
had in-depth knowledge of
the textile industry. He was
amazed at the way CNS had
introduced surfactants in a
fundamental way dealing
with chemistry, feedstock,
mechanisms besides
primary concepts of
micelle, critical micelle
concentration and contact
angle. The world is turning
towards the context of sustainability and challenge thereby fatty alcohol ethoxylates and
various forms assume signicance. Sustainability in terms of product and process result in
zero or minimal imprint on the environment. With Turkey Red Oil in 1950s paving the way for
surfactants and phenomenal growth since 1980s and new classes that have grown
phenomenally emerged for value addition to the consumers, customers and industry. He
observed that with CNS as practitioner of textile chemistry, the compendium is ideal for both
students to understand the world of surfactants as well as industry.

An emotional CNS thanked Almighty and dignitaries, fellow alumni of ICT, SIES mates, temple
and industry friends, Dr.K.S.Murthy, Anil Mehra (Auxichem) and Ketan Gandhi
(L.N.Chemicals) and the support of his family members. He acknowledged late R.V.Raghavan
and late R.H.Mehra who inspired and inducted him to writing skills. He emphasised on
compendium (Edition one)
unveiled is not a book like his
earlier ones because
surfactants eld is vast as he
continued his research on the
subject.

In an interlude at the opening,

Mr.Dilip Raghavan, welcomed
the delegates to Chroma Tex
Chem Exhibition Conference
and spoke about this dedicated
platform for colorant and
speciality chemicals for textile
and related applications,
organised in conjunction with Jad Expositions, industry associations like DMAI, GDMA,
ISCMA and CAMA besides GOTS and ZDHC. Innovation zone reects and showcases latest
innovations and technical knowhow to the industry. Mr.Janak Mehta, DMAI informed that the
Secretary of Department of Chemicals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers could not
attend due to exigency in Prime Minister's Ofce and conveyed his best wishes to organisers,
participants, exhibitors for the success of the event. Mr.Jitendra Patel, Mr.Sankar Patel,
Prof M.M.Sharma, Mr.Janak Mehta and Mr.Naresh Tyagi inaugurated the exhibition.
Mr.Naresh Tyagi, Chief Sustainability Ofcer, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited delivered
the keynote address. Presentations were held in panel discussions on 14th & 15th
