Another jury member - Dr Dhananjay Kumar, CEO & Head (Engineering, Global Project & BD), KLT Automotive & Tubular Products Ltd - believes that recognition is the incentive for improvement & sustained recognition drives towards excellence. "The ‘Make in India' drive has manufacturing inbuilt and we can achieve world class manufacturing status only if comparative excellence is recognized by a neutral forum like yours," he says.

Madhu Ranjan, MD, Elringklinger Automotive Components India Pvt. Ltd., another member of the eminent jury says: "Awarding exemplary work is a great motivator for an individual or the team to excel, innovate and thereby drive a manufacturer to achieve market leadership."

Chandra Nataraja, MD, Knorr-Bremse Technology Center India Pvt. Ltd. (another jury member) offers a very interesting perspective: "Between the cup and the lip a lot of things can happen. Similarly in a manufacturing industry, a lot of things do happen between design and shopfloor.

Shopfloors give life to the design and light to the end-user. It's time we recognise/reward this and pursue our endeavour for ‘Make in India'."
