The IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry is an industry body that has played a major role in fostering the world of corporations and industries. From its days of being the Indian Merchant Chambers, catering to the realm of merchants, it has now expanded its purview to Commerce and Industry. Sanjaya Mariwala, head of Omniactive Health Technologies Ltd, took the role of president of IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry in June 2024.
We talk about the changing landscape of business and the world along with IMC role in India Inc, Sanjaya Mariwala sat down for a chat with FPJ Consulting Editor, N Bhaskar.
FPJ: Well, it's good to see you once again and I thought I should first congratulate you on assuming the position of president of the IMC. The IMC is a very prestigious organisation, and you at the helm of affairs of it, warranted a discussion with you on what you have been doing and what you planned?
Sanjaya Mariwala: It's a great opportunity for me, sir, to express my views and get it in front of a larger audience.
FPJ: One thing is that why should an industrialist like you be at the helm of an organisation like IMC?
Sanjaya Mariwala: And I think I have asked myself a question. And I looked at what is going on in the country. And to look at what the IMC is doing and what it stands for. I saw some gaps there. That's why intervention was created a change that we make when it comes to the IMC and the IMC members. Sometimes you need that which is probably what merchants and a lot of people as well across the world are focusing on. Commerce and industry is what needs to be focused on and looked at. Most people move to industrialisation and industry, as that's where the future lies. And that's what IMC needs to focus on.
FPJ: Every industrialist, who has been a merchant before, has been successful in being an industrialist.
