Below are the highlights of the interview with Insights Success a business solutions magazine and Mohammed Zakir, Operations Manager of Plastikraft. Let us read what he has to say about the dynamics of the company with the industry he and his team are catering to:

How has the featured person – CEO/Founder/Director helped to enhance the company’s outreach? What noteworthy contributions have the person made in favour of your company?

Starting from scratch as a novice in plastic fabrication, the journey of the founder is like a student. The key contribution of the founder was to learn new plastic fabrication techniques from different sources and then implement them with innovative ideas and sophistication to make products much better than what we’re being offered by our competitors. This made our fabricated products standout distinctly, thus giving us a clear advantage over other competitors.

What challenges has your team faced in the earlier days of the company? What struggles is the team going through now?

A novice in the plastic fabrication industry without any experience was itself a big challenge. Initially executing each job was a challenge but divine guidance, determination to learn, a positive attitude, self-confidence, creativity, honesty, and hard work made things easier. We developed our own techniques while learning at the same time from others.

This company is none other than Kandui Industries Private Limited. Under the leadership of Ashwin Agarwal, Managing Director of the company, its team believes in expanding values and undertaking global challenges to provide future-ready solutions to the industry.

Let’s see what he has to say about the dynamics of Kandui Industries in the given below excerpts of his interview with Insights Success a Best Business Magazine

Kindly brief us about your company, its history, and journey since inception.

I joined the family business of manufacturing woven sacks in 2004. Very soon, I realized that with a good part of the family already actively involved, it would be best for me to be on my own. This sowed the seed for the birth of Kandui. Being a Chemical Engineer by profession, I was intrigued by masterbatches and was kind of familiar with it as well since it was used by the woven sacks sector. Eager to learn more,

What challenges has your team faced in the earlier days of the company? What struggles is the team going through now?

For me, challenges are learnings. We did learn in our earlier days, we do so today, and we will continue the same in future as well. In our early days, being unknown, we did face severe resistance from the marketplace coupled with an unprecedented aggression from competition.

The global coronavirus outbreak has tested people, industries, governments, and supply chains all over the world. How exactly did the pandemic affect your company’s operations and finances?

As the markets opened gradually, we gained significantly as all the trust and relationships built over the years came to the fore and we did exceedingly well in the plastics business during the last 6 months of the fiscal year and, infact, clocked an overall growth of 8% in revenue over the previous fiscal year; inspite of a poor first quarter and a subdued textile related business.
