(Mr Parakram Jadeja of www.jyoti.co.in  in  TAKE ME HOME by Rashmi Bansal)

Book Review - About Mr Jadeja of Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd, Gujarat



The story of  Mr Parakram Jadeja, founder of  Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd, Gujarat  ( www.jyoti.co.in ) is quite inspiring.   From Rs 7.0 crore turnover in 2003, they achieved a turnover of Rs 1000 crore in March 2011 through organic and inorganic growth.

Starts a Turning Workshop (Lathe machine jobwork) in 1985 after his 12th standard.   In 2003, he happened to attend a programme on  ‘Vision Exercise’ ,  and realised the significance of having a ‘vision and mission’ for the company.   

After that programme, he and his team  spent some time every day to introspect and brainstorm on the ‘vision and mission’; and such sessions went on for about 8 or 9 months.    And, they finally zeroed in on their vision and mission.  At that time, they also decided to become  Rs 1000 crore company.   And, they achieved it in 2011.

TAKE ME HOME by Rashmi Bansal has a chapter on Mr Parakram Jadega.   Bought the e-book  on Flipkart for just Rs 19.   The book contains many success stories of people like Mr Jadeja.  

Just started reading the book.   Could not delay posting this information after reading about Mr Jadeja.  Bye, for now.

Quote on 'Management and Entrepreneurship'




QUOTE:

“Any existing organization, whether a business, a church, a labour union, or a hospital, goes down fast if it does not innovate.  Conversely, any new organization,  whether a business, a church, a labour union, or a hospital, collapses if it does not manage.  Not to innovate is the single largest reason for the decline of existing organisations.  Not to know how to manage is the single largest reason for the failure of new ventures.”
