Honored to have been invited to speak at Central University of Haryana on the future of printing & packaging, an experience that was truly overwhelming, inspiring, and deeply personal.
Standing in front of those students, I didn’t just see an audience, I saw reflections of my own journey. There was a time when I was sitting where they are today: full of dreams, uncertainty, ambition, and the desire to build something meaningful.
From being a student to building APL Machinery Pvt. Ltd. through hard work, persistence, and belief, the journey has taught me that the printing and packaging industry holds immense untapped potential for the next generation.
As a manufacturer and entrepreneur, I wanted to share real industry insights with the students, not just about technology and innovation, but about the endless career opportunities, creativity, growth, and global scope this industry offers.
What touched me the most was the talent, curiosity, and hidden potential I witnessed in our youth. Our Indian students are incredibly bright, capable, and filled with hope. Sometimes all they need is a little guidance, encouragement,
and someone to tell them that their dreams are valid and I’m grateful I could play even a small role in that.
Receiving the honor, appreciation, and seeing this interaction covered in the press made the moment even more special. But more than the trophy or recognition, it was the connection with the students that I will truly carry with me.
Moments like these make me feel immensely proud to be an Indian because our country is filled with talent waiting to create, innovate, and lead the future.
Jai hind 🇮🇳
