Could you tell us about your journey from being the CEO and presently to CMD of Ecobliss India?

The transition to CMD is not a significant milestone as it is business as usual. However, personally, it is a moment of pride, reflecting the trust and faith my team and stakeholders have in me. It allows me to focus on strategic growth, mentorship, and steering Ecobliss India toward greater innovation and sustainability. I believe this position enables me to amplify the company’s vision and legacy in the pharmaceutical packaging sector.

In this role, I see myself as more of a mentor and guide. It’s about empowering my team, encouraging fresh ideas, and ensuring that Ecobliss remains a leader in the pharmaceutical packaging industry. Sustainability and innovation are close to my heart, and this position enables me to champion these values more effectively, aligning the company’s goals with global demands for eco-friendly solutions.

What are your immediate priorities and longterm strategies for steering Ecobliss India’s growth, especially in the pharmaceutical packaging domain?
