My journey at TÜV SÜD has indeed been exhilarating. In 1995, I made an unconventional move to join a five-member team at TÜV SÜD and qualified to become a Lead Auditor for management system certification ISO 9001, QS 9000, VDA 6.1 and TS 16949.
In 1994, a key objective for the five-member team at TÜV SÜD was to educate businesses about the need for auditing, testing, inspection and certification inmanufacturing. The biggest hurdle in those times used to gauge the willingness of businesses to invest in a concept that was aimed to future proof. Initially we started by providing management system certifications to companies.
In sharp contrast with two decades ago, India, today, has sector wise government institutions that focus on product and service safety. The rapid technological advancement has created many opportunities and upscaled the overall standard of life. This has evolved the way commerce, society and various sectors interact and shape the ecosystem. Sustainable development, consumer protection, digital transformation and urbanisation are the key drivers that will continue to define the trends in TIC sector. For example: Use of technology (IoT) for better backward traceability in food sector or use of IoT for predictive maintenance in a Conventional Power Plant.
