We got so much engrossed in hearty chat with this wonderful man that the need for coffee was totally forgotten. We at Spectrum thank our leaders for giving us an opportunity to know each individual so closely.

Letters to Editors...
I read Goyaljis interview. The interview was really good . I came to know of who Ajay Goyal is totally different than what I had been knowing him for last 12 -13 years. Above all it has covered his entire life very nicely. C.S.BORAR

SPLENDID EXPERIENCE, like meeting Ajay Goyal in person after ages !Thank you very much for sharing this.
Sachin Bhatt

Thank you for remembering the Secondees in Tanzania who are across the Indian Ocean. As a matter of fact we were all confused over here on the basis of compensation etc which has been worked out by HR and which Sh PR has explained. Whilst there is still a fair amount of cloud cover as to which band one is fitted in, the concept at least is clearer. Unfortunately we have had no communication on this front in the past; hence the confusion. The write up on Mr Ajay Goyal is refreshing and to know that he is retiring in Oct 11, is sad. Nick what a fighter he is & to know that Champs daughter is doing so well is a great feeling. Makes us here feel at home. Godfrey Fernandes ,Gapco Tanzania Ltd

It was a very candid interview and enjoyed reading it. Speaks Volumes of Mr.Goyal who is a simple and unassuming man. S.Maya Petroleum Business Each time when I open spectrum and finish it in one go, always my reaction is- "Best issue till date".... Spectrum is more like addiction than admiration. Full of invaluable life lessons, inspiration, motivation and well balanced humour. Vivek Yadav

Great ! You had been very forth right and candid. Kudos for your Interview taking art and skill. We are proud to have worked with you. JSP Bansal, Reliance, Jamnagar

It was indeed a pleasure to go through this issue of Spectrum11 Arrays of Colour in Life ! I had always liked the tongue in cheek humour , which makes this Inhouse Magazine an enjoyable reading. Vision sharing article from Sh. PR gave an insight of top management thinking and threw up some intricacies on the, not so much talked subject of promotions & growth in the organization. Must appreciate the zeal with which the interviews are conducted, as all people have really opened up on their personalities. Best wishes on future issues of Spectrum....... Ravi Chaudhary Thank you for sharing this with me. Although I havent read the magazine completely, I thoroughly enjoyed reading my fathers interview. Sorry no critical feedback on this article, as its too personal to me J Take care and all the best, Chetan Goyal (Ajay Goyals son) I happened to get a forward of the July Issue of Spectrum . I was very impressed with content and the vibrant form of presentation of the Magazine. Particularly inspiring and motivating was the Rendezvous with Mr Ajay Goyal. I thank TEAM SPECTRUM for coming out with some wonderful insights into our leaders and Reliancian family achievers such as Ms Jahnavee Sinh, the daughter of Regional Manager Mr. Bhupendrasinh Champavat. The Hard Talk was indeed Hard. Sudesh Salian Trans-Connect Fleet Services Read Sh PR's interview, Excellent Q's posed by you, timing could not have been more perfect, Great Job done! Ranjit J. Kamath Terminal Co-ordinator, Manglore Thank you so much for giving us the Ineriew of Sh Ajay Goyal , Commercial Head , Petroleum Retail. I found the Interview very interesting. A different insight into the life of Sh Ajay Goyal. I had the opportunity to have worked under his leadership & interact with him in Petroleum Retail in Ahmedabad , Gujarat State. I have found him to be extremely humble & kind , but at the same time quite decisive & firm . Thanks once again !! Rajesh Ojha (Accounts & Commercial )

I happened to chance upon the latest copy of the SPECTRUM and I must say it was impressive. From what I had seen earlier, you have come a long way and now it looks a more professional , well rounded magazine befitting corporate e-zine status! Congrats and keep me in the loop please. Jayant Mathur Strategy and Business Development Group Ajay jis article with pictures was nicely composed. Limiting his personality in words is a difficult task but you did a good job. Sunil Sethi Extra ordinary interview in terms of the candidness. Am reminded of the book My Experiments with Truth of Sh.MKG. R.Vaidyanathan Stock Control

I like Ajay Goyals interview and also generally the style of the magazine, it is very refreshing / lively & written with a lot of enthusiasm. Ajay Marathe
What a story and very well told! A young boy (picture with your mother), lost his father young, brought up by his elder brother (didnt see a picture of his), educated himself; Completed higher studies, with the help of his uncle, and then set out on his professional journey. Found his life partner, raised an illustrious son, who is also married and have a baby who keeps him young and peppy. Firmly rooted in his spiritual roots and guiding many more people on their way. Very human though, indulges in Sheela ki Jawani, Samosa/Golgoppa I should say if you were to do an audit, it was a life that was selfmade, well-lived and shared with all around you. Stay blessed Ajay and spread the happiness as only you can Christopher Mathias

From The Of Desk Of G.R.R.

Dear Friends, Our performance is H1 of this year has been very encouraging with new customer enrollment topping 25,000! This is a record in the recent past and augurs well for our future. We are waiting and hoping that Phase 1 of the 4stage process of direct transfer of subsidy to below poverty families would start-off as soon as possible. The initial date of 1 st October 11 set for the implementation of Phase 1 of this project in 7 states of the country (including Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh) has passed off without anything happening. But hope springs eternal and we continue to be positive on the dismantling of the subsidy regime in LPG in its present form in the months ahead. Meanwhile, we are preparing ourselves to gear up for opportunities and challenges that will surely come our way once the dismantling of the subsidy regime starts. The first impact would be felt in Non-Domestic market with the restriction in the availability of subsidized cylinders for that market. This would mean that the completion would become more even and the volumes would jump considerably. We are coming up with a series of initiatives to take advantage of such a situation. Our first resolve is to ensure that the quality of the product available for Non -Domestic market is consistently superior and propane-rich. If our attempts to source product from Jamnagar succeeds then we are well on our way in this regard. We are also working on a host of other initiatives for both domestic and non -domestic sector and you will hear about them as we get managements approval for the same. The idea is to bring in our policies closer to market realities as they are evolving so that we are better prepared to take on the competition. Needless to say the success of our efforts depends to a large extent on your dedication and hard-work and as in the past I continue to look forward to your continued commitment to take on challenges in the market. Finally let me sign off by wishing all of you and your families seasons greetings and best wishes in this month of festivities.

In conversation with KGR

E N

Introducing the successful personalities in our business is always the mainstay of

D E Z V O U s

your magazine. Continuing with the tradition, we are introducing a person who is known for his sense of humour and excellent human values. Mr KGR (Krishnaprasad G Rai), as he is popularly known, is our newly appointed National Marketing Manager for Petroleum Retail. When the things get tougher, the toughest get going!!! Probably, petroleum marketing business is passing through testing times and KGR is taking over one of the toughest assignments. Preparing for a day which nobody knows when can be most strenuous. KGR is a firm believer of fun at work and enjoying your assignment. His career graph can be a source of jealousy for many of his peers especially the variety of tasks he has handled. Life has taken a full circle for him in Reliance itself started from CNPT and today again CNPT is with him.

A proud Mumbaikar, he is a thorough gentleman in his approach and dealings with people. As a boss, he is loved by his juniors & they say so even after leaving Reliance. His colleagues adore him for his funny bone and his ability to lighten up any tense situation. Spectrum met him in his cabin after many days of persuasion owing to his busy schedule and conference calls. What followed in the next two hours is a free-wheeling chat with a man next door and Spectrum team thoroughly enjoyed each moment. Our readers are not so fortunate to read all that we spoke considering the space constraints and official confidentiality considerations. Only the major excerpts are given in the following pages. Spectrum: Welcome to Spectrum. Our readers are eager to know more about your background, education and family. Could you please elaborate on that? KGR: I am a pakka Mumbaikar. Born and brought up in Mumbai though my family hails from Mangalore in coastal Karnataka.. Most of my education is done in Mumbai, from a convent school. I did my college education from St Xaviers and Mithibai Colleges and graduated in Science. Though I joined a prestigious institution to pursue Masters in Science, I realized within a few months that Organic Chemistry is not my cup of tea (or was it coffee?) and decided to take up a job instead. I joined an Industrial company in Mumbai at the age of 20 as a Marketing Trainee on a princely stipend of Rs 600 per month. While working there for about a year, I learnt a lot of things and got to work with some MBAs. One of my seniors was an MBA from Jamnalal Bajaj and he made me take an interest in pursuing management studies. I Jab main chota baccha tha! decided to do an MBA, wrote CAT exam and made it to IIM, Bangalore. (today Bengaluru) Once in IIM, I realized that there are only two categories of students recognised either you are an Engineer or you are not an engineer!! Once you are not an engineer, it doesnt make any difference what your background is!. I was in that minority. Another thing that hits you in IIM is that there are far too many people smarter and knowledgeable than you! That hits you a little bit & slowly you come to terms with it. Till then I had never pursued any extra-curricular activities seriously but I We gel together! decided to do many things which I always wanted to. I threw my hat to become a placement representative and also pursued my old hobby of playing tabla. I had learnt playing tabla as a young child and restarted here. Strangely, I have two certificates from that era - one for western music and another for Indian classic music for playing tabla during an inter-IIM meet In western music, we had formed a fusion group consisting of members playing the saxophone, guitar, veena, flute, mridangam and me on

the tabla and were successful in impressing the judges to secure first place. I came a distant second in Indian Classical as we had to compete with a classical singer from Ahmedabad IIM who was already an Indian Radio artist. This way I managed to beat the non-engineer tag and make it to the stronger echelons of IIM-B. When the placement season started, we did a lot of creative work to attract best of the companies to our campus and managed to place all but one student. as placement representative in a team of 4 students overseeing that function. The campus interview scenario then was not like today where IIM students are spoilt for choice. We had to prepare beautiful brochures and impress upon the companies to visit us. I am satisfied that we did a very good job!

Family time!

After securing my PGDBM in Marketing, I joined Bharat Petroleum Corporation and my first posting was as LPG Sales Officer. (wow. A fantastic link with LIIL LPG roots after all . ) In the interview, I was asked the full form of LPG & I had answered it as Liquefied Petroleum Gas and only after working as LPG Manager I got to know that it was Liquefied Petroleum Gases and not Gas. That was the value addition in that period! I worked with BPCL for almost 17 years. Good part with BPCL was that it gave me exposure to various functions and thats how I also gained. I started with LPG and then moved into Corporate Planning after almost 3 years. Later I moved to Cochin in Sales and further to Nagpur as Divisional Manager. In oil companies, DM is an important and most enjoyable position where you are responsible for whole lot of things. I worked here for almost 3 years. That is when the first signs of deregulation were visible in and the then Chairman could read beyond the clutter. Though he was from a finance background, he was very dynamic and could gauge the mood and formed a taskforce consisting of people drawn from different backgrounds to re-structure the company. BPCL was Burmah Shell before it became a public sector company. The project was called CUSECS on one hand it depicts flow of new ideas as cusecs is the measurement of water flow and on the other side it stood for Customer Service Customer Satisfaction. (Incidentally, Mr R B Sahi was the head of Cusecs) As a result of this project, from a functionally structured company BPCL had an SBU based structure and a a lot of churning took place. I was part of the Retail Strategy team that worked with McKinsey and got lot of exposure to various retail initiatives. One of them was Pure for Sure. We had to choose first 100 outlets for a pilot from among more than few thousand outlets and had to ensure that the initiative met with success. That was a wonderful experience. At this stage, I thought that deregulation is IN and wanted to be part of the main-stream private sector. Thats how I joined Reliance in 2001 and have completed more than 10 years. What I had told about BPCL is true about my Reliance journey too. This is my 4th assignment and I thoroughly indulge in each new assignment. Initially I worked on Network Planning and Strategy. Along the way, city outlets came up with some MS orientation compared to diesel orientation we had in highway outlets, Later came IBD (International Business Development) where we worked on

many global opportunities. One live case we got was to work on the Gapco acquisition and I got a chance to be part of it. I was into evaluation, due-diligence, takeover etc. and it was an excellent opportunity for learning new things. Later, I went to Tanzania as COO for Gapco. When I came back after 19 months, I moved into Industrial Marketing selling sulphur which was a new learning altogether for me. Now, as National Marketing Manager in Petroleum Retail, I am back into my favorite area of Strategy ! Spectrum : Something more about your family, siblings etc KGR : We are only two siblings my elder sister and me. She is married and settled in Bengaluru after a long stay in Dubai. My father retired as Director of a Pharmaceutical MNC and mother is a successful home maker. My father came to Mumbai somewhere in the 1940s from Mangalore and he was one of the first persons to reach Mumbai from our family. So, our home was a transit point for many of our relatives and acquaintances who wanted to try their luck in Mumbai those days. Though we were a small family with a small flat, our meal times used to be with at least 10-15 people. My father was known for his helping nature. Though it was not easy, today I realize that we learnt a lot Saat Phere! from this experience. If life gives an opportunity, I too would like to help people the way my father used to. Being in an MNC, there used to be lot of parties and in the absence of hotels those days, they used to arrange parties in somebodys house., The party culture was real fun and helped me in breaking my shyness to some extent. I can say that my father really lived life king size. I married Sridevi in 1989 and we are blessed with two kids. Sridevi is a Masters in Commerce with speWith parents and sister cialization in Personnel Management. She was teaching in a College in Kasaragod, prior to our marriage though we decided on her remaining a full time parent later. My son, Avanish is pursuing final year Chemical Engineering from DJ Sanghvi in Mumbai. He wishes to pursue higher studies in the US. My daughter, Ashwati has taken up Bachelor of Commerce studies alongwith pursuing her CA course. Spectrum : Many of us believe that KGR must have found it very tough to choose from the battalion of girls following the very witty and charming handsome person he is. How did you manage the decision? KGR : Oh,,.. that is not true unfortunately, none of the girls were interested!!! Mine was an arranged marriage decided by the family and I being an obedient son, consented. Spectrum : How are you finding your change of role from a team leader engaged in hard-core selling to your current role of mapping processes for retail petroleum business? KGR : It doesnt make much difference to me. As you see, early stages of my career itself I worked in corporate roles. My career graph is a mix of both field as well as HO functions. Initial years in Reliance, my assignment was with CNPT where we did a tremendous job and I dont think any company has done the kind of survey work we did. Getting Survey through an MR firm of more than 19,000 outlets pan-India, mapping of GIS data, setting the rules for outlet selection, all that was fun. Since we had already done so much then, re-mapping of processes or implementation of systems should not be difficult. Spectrum : Some interesting stories of your Tanzania stint in GAPCO especially how do we differ from locals over

there in work culture etc ? KGR : When I went over to Gapco, the company was not faring well. The history of Gapco is that the company had been a market leader in Tanzania. So, the challenge was to regain the position and it was important to build the clout for the company. Gapco was a member of the Tanzania Association of Oil Marketing companies (TAOMAC). When I reached Tanzania I found that the position of Vice-Chairman in TAOMAC was vacant and I threw my hat in the ring and offered my candidature. My competitor was an astute Somalian businessman who was born & brought up in Tz.In the elections I lost. One learns from experience and soon the position of Chairman fell vacant in May08 due to the transfer of Totals MD. This time I was contesting against the MD of a Swiss MNC and in the elections I won by a narrow margin. This gave me lot of exposure and access to the government and other decision making authorities in Tanzania. The position also gave Gapco an opportunity to gauge the operations of other stake-holders and pre-empt many business situations. Each country has its own culture and reaching out is very important. Especially in a company which has gone from good to bad, the employees were very apprehensive and it was a challenge to win over their confidence. Immediately on taking over, we had to sign the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the trade unions and it was an opportunity to closely study Tanzanian people and culture. We eventually signed a three year agreement. The Tanzanian oil industry is fully de-regulated and I learnt the need to closely follow market developments and change retail prices every few days. That was again a great learning experience. Spectrum : As NMM what is the change you are proposing? KGR : NMM here gets to develop the overall value proposition of our retail offering. One of the most important value proposition is the Fleet management initiative and we need to tweak it to be more relevant with the times. When we started in 2003, communication was a challenge on the highways and initiatives of printed messages and reports we offered were innovative. But now the game is altogether different and the communication dimension has changed. Another major offering from us then was Q&Q. Even in this issue, competitors have done lot of things and we need to do many things. Also we need to check on how much our competitors have progressed and whether they have become complacent which I would believe they have. We will be commissioning a survey to gauge the mood of the customer on specific areas of the value proposition. We have also created a new position of Product Manager with Mr Phanikumar as the first incumbent. He will be responsible for value props which are of three types -. Customer, Economic and Competitor value proposition. I shall be supplementing his efforts in this. There is also the Marketing Services track that renders services not only to Retail but to all the petroleum divisions. We will keep exploring options and keep ourselves prepared for a deregulated scenario. Spectrum : Bunt community is matrilineal society, where lady calls the shots, what about your family? KGR : Yes, its the Lady who calls the shots, no doubt! When we say matrilineal, it is not only fashionable to say so, it is deep rooted in the community. I am recognized by my mothers family in the community. Ideally my name should have been IK Rai where I would have represented my mothers family name. But since I was born & brought up in Mumbai where I have my name followed by fathers name, I became KG Rai Spectrum : Widely perceived that Aishwarya is closely related to KGR. Can you throw some light on it KGR : Tell me who perceives it so. Many a times I have also faced this question and I am tired of denying it. Our community is so small and one can be linked to every other member. Incidentally, Aishwarya grew up in Khar and our families knew each other. The closest to fame was when Aish got married, we got a box of sweets delivered at

home and my mom was very happy to flaunt the gift she received from Amitabh Bacchan. Beyond that, we do not have any relation with Aish. Whenever R Sridhar meets me, he always enquires how Aish is doing as if I keep a track of her every move. Its fun responding to him. Spectrum : You can very well ask Sridhar about Jayalalitha on whom he reportedly has huge crush KGR : Oh is it.. anyway, one needs to have huge crush on Jayalalitha else you will not be able to cover her fully. (Hope KGR will not be prosecuted by Jayaji ) Spectrum : We have heard you are a widely travelled person. Love for nature or professional compulsions!? Tell us some interesting tales to share with our readers KGR : Almost all my travels are by compulsion. My wife always complains about it. Most of the tickets I have purchased in the recent times are all to my native place in Mangalore. Since my father was the eldest among boys, I am supposed to continue representing the family on any event or occasion in the family. It also helps in building relations and reinforcing traditional values. Since I am an urbane person, most of the traditions are new to me and I enjoy the opportunities to know more. I always wear traditional attire (called Traditional avtar Mundu kind of white dhoti) to functions when in my home town. While on the subject, I should tell you that the bunt marriages are not solemnised by fire but by the earth. Our marriages take anything less than 10 minutes. Very few rituals and you will miss the occasion if you step out for a Hum hai raahi pyaar ke!! smoke. We dont need a priest to solemnise the marriage but the family elders do the job. I keep observing all the nuances and enjoy each of my visits to my native place. Spectrum : Shettys are great hoteliers, how that has not tempted you KGR : Not that all Shettys are hoteliers. They make some of the best Doctors, lawyers etc too. Bunt community is basically farming community and the members had to look for other options when land reforms act reduced their land holding and livelihood. Thats when they started hotels and made it big. I always wanted to become a Doctor but somehow the flip-flop in admission rules in my time deprived me that opportunity. Spectrum : KGR is known for wittiness and great sense of humourany incident you would like to depict? KGR : When we were working on re-organisation in my earlier company, we used to observe productive conversations as a tenet in any discussion & meeting. Here the ground rules of engagement for the discussion are cocreated. My contribution used to be always was to HAVE FUN as a necessary pre-requisite. Else, you cannot sustain a 3-4 hours long meeting. Spectrum : Has this nature put you in trouble any time? KGR : Yes, it can work other ways also. You may say something and it can backfire. Something like Foot in Mouth

situation. But, it has helped me work very well with the most difficult of bosses. When you know that a person is difficult, you will put that much more effort to keep the mood lively. Most of the people with whom I started off on wrong note have later become my best friends. Some of the nasty incidents have helped in cementing the strongest of the relations. Rapid Fire Round : Raju Srivastava or Lalu Prasad Yadav Raju Shrivastava Arnav Goswami or Rajat Sharma - Arnab Goswami Hema Malini or Aishwarya Rai Hema Malini Mumbai or Mangalore - Mumbai Growth or inflation - Growth Nursing or nurturing - Nurturing Your date with you first girlfriend I am sorry I have only one girlfriend and she is my wife Your dream car anything that is comfortable to drive The first gift you received from your wife I think, you would need to give gifts.. you dont receive Your favourite dish for Breakfast - Dosa KGR ko gussa kab aata hai? Inefficiency dekhne se / Inept logon se / deadline miss karnewalon se Spectrum : Would you like to give some message to your team ? KGR : My team? I can straight away call them and say it personally. I am reminded now about what the mother of a young girl, who is an achiever, had to say in a TV interview recently. She said that you normally get questions like where would you want to see yourself 5 or10 years down the line and your answers will be something like GM in 5 years or Chairman in 10 years kind of things. This straightjackets you and has the potential to break you if it doesnt happen. Instead, if you set things for what you wish to do rather than what you want to be, one can achieve far better things in life. It is exactly what our karmic teachings in Indian philosophy tell us. Spectrum : What do you love to read? KGR : Morning newspaper! (If you again ask the question KGR ko gussa kab aata hai, answer is when I dont get my newspaper). I am an ardent lover of Agatha Christie books and do read them. Currently I am reading Imagining India by Nandan Nilekani and Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. I love music.Kishore Kumars pal pal dil ke paas is my favourite Spectrum : But then you did not mention who is that song meant for? KGR : It is my wife Shridevi, officially. I have to be politically correct and on the right side of the spectrum. Do you want to put me in trouble? Spectrum : Your views on Spectrum KGR : The best part is it offers light reading. Once in a while I see very serious interviews but mostly these are kept light. There should be more participation from the readers. You have to find ways & means to do that. If I start indulging in my writing pursuits, then I may also contribute. Since I want to write a book, I should try this as a launching pad. *****

Magic seeds...FLAX SEEDS (alashi..)

Don't let the tiny, unimposing size of the flax seed fool you. Packed inside every teeny seed is a mountain of nutritional benefit. For instance, flax seeds are excellent sources of calcium and fiber. These seeds are available in in local kirana shop next to your house. You don't have to search and order it from somewhere else, its like any other spices used in your kitchen.

H E A L T H

The flax plant has been cultivated as a food source since ancient times. It grows to a height of about 3 feet and can be found in cold, northern climates. The seed that is produced from the flower contains lignans, protein and dietary fiber. Many have added flaxseed or flaxseed oil to their diets because of the great health benefits.

Significant Omega 3 Fatty Acids: Flaxseed has a high content of alpha linolenic acids, which is the equivalent of the omega 3 fatty acids found in some fish. Omega 3 fatty acids are necessary for proper brain function and general development of the body. These acids also help prevent health problems due to obesity, a great problem amongst most of us. Benefits the Colon: Colon cancer leads the cancers in the attack on men and women alike . Acts as a Natural Antioxidant! Lowers Cholesterol : Flax provides soluble fiber as well as insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber works to lower blood cholesterol, decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, the greatest cause of death for men in the United States. Helps Fight Diabetes: By moderating the release of glucose into the bloodstream, the fiber in flax helps fight against diabetes. Shields Against Prostrate Cancer: Lignans, found in the flax plant, aid in balancing hormone levels and prevent the formation of cancerous tumors. Lignans slow cancer cell growth in men already diagnosed with prostrate cancer, the most common cancer in men.

HOW TO EAT FLAX SEEDS: It is very important to know how these seeds to be eaten. Mix ground flax seeds in yogurt, or sprinkle into the batter or dough for various
baked goods, such as muffins, bread and more. Eating flax seeds whole offers no nutritional benefit. Whole flax seeds are very difficult to digest and will pass through your system whole. Flax seeds in whole form can aggravate digestive problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome .So just a spoon of it and see the sea change in your health! Dadi maa rightly said Your kitchen has the key to your health, you just need to unlock the door.

Confabulation with our Channel partners

Channel partners, whom we call our eyes and hands, are the people who are considered extremely important in any business set-up.And why not? These are the people who train our dealers to face the end customers and prepare them to for every challenge. Continuing with the tradition of Spectrum, this quarter we met one of our esteemed distributor, Mr.Sujeet Deshmukh alias M/s Sidhhi traders! Young, energetic and feels very proud be a descender of great Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj! He has come from Murbad village, a place which is very near to kalyan. His hard work and foresightedness helped this young man to become a successful entrepreneur . Mr Deshmukh has spread his business wings in various segments i.e. construction, automobile, trading, transport, etc. Blessed with two children and has a dream to see his son (Master Sutej) to be IPS Officer and daughter (Miss Sinhika) as IAS Officer. Mr. Deshmukh is a fun lover and has fetish for cars and travelling to foreign countries. The biggest strength of his success is network and his personal contacts. He has appointed 49 DO and average refill sales are 40 MT/month. Interview was just an excuse to know this man better and his future plans with Reliance Gas & also to give him a gentle message that he is important to us! Mr Sujeet Deshmukh of Siddhi Traders in Kalyan is one of the oldest Reliance Gas distributors in Maharashtra. After completing his Civil Engg from Pune in 1994 , this man got the opportunity to work with Reliance Gas in the year 1999. He clearly remembered his first encounter with Reliance Gas in his initial days. The refill cost for domestic cylinder was just Rs 180 to Rs 200 and difference in the cost with PSU was marginal. The initial three years of his association was spent in creating a dealer network throughout Thane district. Aggressively promoting the domestic sales in his area, he worked really hard to reach up to the expectations of stakeholders Non-domestic segment of the business during this period was not that focused the way it is today. As our prices started shooting up incessantly, domestic sales got severely affected and most of his dealer network did not continue - a very tough time indeed. However Mr Sujeet continued to promote the business as before. He had strong conviction and belief that Reliance is a strong brand and will surely reap him the long term benefits. While talking to him about his interaction with LIIL and its officers, he says, Reliance has always been very supportive to all my efforts and SMs that I have been working with have been very much helpful. However I feel that, like the the Govt Oil Cos , Reliance should also give authority to their SM to offer the spot discounts as per the market conditions. This will be very much helpful in increasing sales.( Hope GRR, will soon mull over this proposal) Being the land owners at Murbad, his father was the Director of Education Board and mother a house wife. He proudly mentions that his two children are a sheer delight to him . Their academic performance gives him strength to focus on his work and excel without worrying about them. Rajeev asked him about his plans & his preparedness in de-regulation scenario .to which he very positively replied Yes very much. I think there is a huge opportunity for Reliance in Packed LPG and if the pricing is right we can aggressively market the product both in domestic and non domestic sectors. Today we are facing problem to promote our Domestic sales due to huge price difference with PSU. It will be the time when all dreams come true! Hope it takes place soon (we are hoping too) He remembered Ms. Sonal Kotnis who used be his favorite SM. However he finds Rajeev Chati extremely cooperative and is completely updated on the current market scenario. He says one can totally rely on him for taking the right advice. (Interview ended with lot of casual chat and on a happy note. Once again an individual worth knowing! )

William Lyon Phelps (1865-1943) was an American educator, literary critic and author. He served as a professor of English at Yale University from 1901 to 1933. His works include Advance of the English Novel and Essays on Modern Dramatists. On April 6, 1933, he delivered this speech during a radio broadcast. Though the speech was delivered nearly 8 decades its relevance is as strong as ever. With the passing of time, the love for books seems to be disappearing. How many of us really spend at least some part of our spare time reading books? Which youngster would ever mention reading books as a hobby now? This beautiful speech, almost always counted among the 10 best of all time, brings out the pure joy and pleasure of reading. Even if you dont read books or dont have time for it, this speech should rekindle in you the pleasure of browsing through books relaxing on a sofa with your feet up and getting transported to another world! The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind; and we enjoy reading books that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. A borrowed book is like a guest in the house; it must be treated with punctiliousness, with a certain considerate formality. You must see that it sustains no damage; it must not suffer while under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the pages, you cannot use it familiarly. And then, someday, although this is seldom done, you really ought to return it.

I N S P I R A T I O N A L

But your own books belong to you; you treat them with that affectionate intimacy that annihilates formality. Books are for use, not for show; you should own no book that you are afraid to mark up, or afraid to place on the table, wide open and face down. A good reason for marking favorite passages in books is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings, to refer to them quickly, and then in later years, it is like visiting a forest where you once blazed a trail. You have the pleasure of going over the old ground, and recalling both the intellectual scenery and your own earlier self. Everyone should begin collecting a private library in youth; the instinct of private property, which is fundamental in human beings, can here be cultivated with every advantage and no evils. One should have one's own bookshelves, which should not have doors, glass windows, or keys; they should be free and accessible to the hand as well as to the eye. The best of mural decorations is books; they are more varied in color and appearance than any wallpaper, they are more attractive in design, and they have the prime advantage of being separate personalities, so that if you sit alone in the room in the firelight, you are surrounded with intimate friends. The knowledge that they are there in plain view is both stimulating and refreshing. You do not have to read them all. Most of my indoor life is spent in a room containing six thousand books; and I have a stock answer to the invariable question that comes from strangers. "Have you read all of these books?" "Some of them twice." This reply is both true and unexpected. There are of course no friends like living, breathing, corporeal men and women; my devotion to reading has never made me a recluse. How could it? Books are of the people, by the people, for the people. Literature is the immortal part of history; it is the best and most enduring part of personality. But book-friends have this advantage over living friends; you can enjoy the most truly aristocratic society in the world whenever you want it. The great dead are beyond our physical reach, and the great living are usually almost as inaccessible; as for our personal friends and acquaintances, we cannot always see them. Perchance they are asleep, or away on a journey. But in a private library, you can at any moment converse with Socrates or Shakespeare or Carlyle or Dumas or Dickens or Shaw or Barrie or Galsworthy. And there is no doubt that in these books you see these men at their best. They wrote for you. They "laid themselves out," they did their ultimate best to entertain you, to make a favorable impression. You are necessary to them as an audience is to an actor; only instead of seeing them masked, you look into their innermost heart of heart.

Impress People-Technical Vocabulary

H U

Do you want to impress or confuse clients or Vice versa? Use Techno vocabulary. It can be called the Buzzword writing method. It is simple. There are three columns of words involved, as follows: Just select any three-digit number; then use the corresponding Buzzwords from the above grid, e.g., 257: integrated modular capability.

M O U R

Dont worry if it doesnt make sense to you; it wont mean anything to anyone else either, but theyll think youre just smarter than they are so they wont say anything!!!

You can propose systemized reciprocal options (929) to achieve optimal transitional flexibility (568), so that we can think of an integrated monitored projection, and then your boss will probably promote you or your customer will be blown away with your technological superiority!!ITS TIME TO IMPRESS GUYS!!

Differences Between You And Your Boss

When you take a long time, youre slow. When your boss takes a long time, hes thorough. When you dont do it, youre lazy. When your boss doesnt do it, hes too busy. When you make a mistake, youre an idiot. When your boss makes a mistake, hes only human. When you take a stand, youre being bull-headed. When your boss does it, hes being firm. When youre out of the office, youre wandering around. When your boss is out of the office, hes on business. When you have one too many drinks at a social, youre a drunken bum. When your boss does the same, he appreciated women. When youre on a day off sick, youre always sick. When your boss is a day off sick, he must be very ill. When you apply for leave, you must be going for an interview. When your boss applies for leave, it s because hes overworked.

Be Transparent..
Can you anytime believe that the domestic LPG cylinder coming to your neighborhood hotel is possibly booked and billed against your name? Unbelievable!! Right? I was equally surprised when GRR sent me a mail attaching the cutting from a newspaper article which was all about this. While I was leisurely enjoying the comfort of cooking at my home, someone else is also enjoying the facility in my name. It never travelled in my thoughts any time. This is something so weird! I read that article completely or may be twice to get into the depth of it.

I N F o R M

Article was named Transparency portal for LPG account. Its about union government and PSU oil company initiatives A about keeping the transperancy, visibility and auditability of the distribution of LPG cylinders across the country. There will be an online transparency portal, wherein customers can keep an eye on the number of cylinders sold in their acT count during a financial year. All of the three oil companies have come out with their respective Transparency portals (wherein they have linked all their existing domestic LPG customers and their off take of LPG cylinders during the curI rent financial year). Henceforth all domestic refill sale transactions can be monitored online not only by the oil company officials or government administrators but also by the end customer himself. The portal will give access to all individual V customers details of domestic LPG cylinders issued in their respective account under two heads at subsidised rates and at market rates. Any customer shall be barred by the system from getting more than the fixed number of domestic E LPG cylinders in a year and shall have to either opt out or order for market rate cylinder. To start with, this may be the sole application available on transparency portal but soon its usage will be widened for registration of complaints, feedback and whole lot of other marketing activities. If one finds any discrepancy in the data shown, he shall be able to register his complaint on the same portal then. The portals have been set up in tune with the recommendations of subsidies headed by UIDIA Chairman, Mr. Nanadan Nilekani. For Indane customers, the portal address will be http://indane.co.in/transparency/index.php For HP Gas, http://dcms.hpcl.co.in/ConsumerPortal/Transparency/Transparency.aspx For Bharat Gas, http://www.ebharatgas.com/pages/footer/Transparency_portal.html Customers like me & you can at least be rest assured of not being fooled by our dealers whom we adore like angels during the period of domestic LPG crisis. In this process, we may also become more cautious and aware that something like this may happen behind our curtains. Economic wisdom is that the subsidised product shall be given in limited quantities. But that is not the case with LPG here in India. Imagine you & me paying for the fuel which our neighbor is using for going to his shop. The misuse of subsidised domestic LPG cylinder auto fuel requirements makes the above story possible since the subsidy burden is partly borne by the government using the taxes paid by me & you. That calls for total abolishment of subsidy on LPG. But, concern for poor has perhaps pushed the policy makers to tread middle path; partial rollback of subsidy on domestic LPG cylinders. Many of our readers, especially the ladies like me, must be worried about the various articles appearing in newspapers and media hype about limiting the availability of subsidized LPG cylinders per household and the probability of buying LPG cylinders at exorbitant prices post these reforms etc. Normally, a subsidized product ought to be given in limited amounts. However, domestic LPG is both heavily subsidized and available in unlimited quantities which is increasing the subsidy burden on the exchequer and finally causing a big hole in our pockets in the form of increased taxes and less expenditure on developmental works. One of the recent studies by a committee constituted by the Union Government which I found it on net was that the average rural households use from 5.17 to 7.91 cylinders per year where the poorest use less cylinders and the rich use more. In case of urban consumers, the range is between 8.17 and 10.17 & the difference in rural & urban consumption pattern is due to the availability of alternate fuels in rural sector. (Refer the table )

From the table, it is evident that the percentage spend on LPG by richer sections is only a small fraction of their total monthly household consumption expenditure and withdrawal of subsidy to these sectors will not have much impact. This is the very basic concept that is driving LPG sector reforms. Even after so many years since independence, around 10% of the rural households use LPG in India. The Government aims at increasing this figure to 75% by 2015. If the poor are to be subsidized, we need an effective mechanism to provide the subsidy and one of the options is transfer on entitlement based on UID platform. This entails a household a fixed quantity of LPG at subsidized price beyond which the market price will be charged. Another option is direct cash transfer of subsidy while everyone will be charged the market price. For us in LIIL, a huge business opportunity lies even in partial withdrawal of subsidies on domestic LPG, although personally speaking, complete withdrawal would have made it humungous. Nevertheless, it is a step forward and we need to gear ourselves to meet the challenges ahead and enhance our market share in domestic LPG segment. This also offers us a platform to expand our LPG business beyond western states, probably across the country. I found, its a great initiative. I hope if we could replicate the same in LIIL as well. May the next sales meet of LIIL brainstorm over this portal thing too and a healthy idea may creep in. EK IDEA JO DUNIYA BADAL DE! Keeping the track of your customers and also let them know that we equally care about them is a beautiful idea. Isnt it? Though we have read this mostly on banners and hoardings of renowned companies, it takes lots and lots of effort on our part to make this a reality and an honest effort is the only key to realise such dreams. Ideas do not necessarily emanate from board rooms; I agree to this completely. Do you too? They also have the potential to fly from nowhere and everywhere! Being ourselves LPG customers of PSU Oil Companies for years now, we invite marketing ideas from all our readers on how to enrich our Customer Value Proposition more and more to effect potential switch over to Reliance Gas when it comes to choosing between suppliers of LPG cylinders at market rates!! Please do write back about your ideas to us. What is that one thing, other than price discount, which you are feeling is missing in the current offerings from your service provider. That can be the key!!

TETE A TETE WITH DEVENDRA MANDLOI

She is happy and I am married Devendra Mandloi We found a sea change when Mr Suresh Uniyal was replaced by Mr Devendra Mandloi as Business Development Manager in Gujarat State office. (For your update, Suresh has moved to Nagpur as State Business Development Manager in Petroleum Retail Business). Those who know Suresh will appreciate the challenge ahead of Deven since the former is known both for his professional and extra-curricular abilities. Spectrum is very curious to know the person who has dared to fit into such heavy shoes. The excerpts from a free-wheeling chat with Deven over a fresh lime soda and finger chips (what else you can expect in Gujarat? ) is given below and the scissors used so freely to cut some of the

best expressions was only due to space restrictions imposed by our Chief Editor. Spectrum : Dear Deven, hearty welcome to LPG family. Being the youngest LPGian, our readers are very curious to know more about the new animal in their shed. (off late..'animal' is favorite phrase used by GRR) Pl tell us more about yourself, your family and background. DM : GRRs favourite word is Paradigm shift as far as I have seen. Anyway, you guys know him better since its only two months since I have entered the shed. My family belongs to Indore and thats where I was born. Mandloi is the title given by the British Government since my Jamindar Grandfather was the President of the Mandal. My grandfather was a member of the Madhya Pradesh assembly. My father was a civil servant in MP State who retired as Dy Director of Health Department. Both my parents had studied from Delhi College in Indore. Since my father was on transferable job, I studied in ten diff schools before I could complete my schooling though I did both Post Graduate courses from Indore. (Deven is a Post Graduate in Chemistry and also MBA in Marketing). I can take pride in the fact that I have seen the maximum number of districts in MP than any normal person can. I was the only son of my parents while my elder sister is married and settled in Delhi. My wife, Ranu, is a Graduate in Science, Post Graduate in Arts and also holds a graduate degree in Education (B.Sc, MA, B.Ed). Currently she is pursuing Doctoral studies in Hindi Literature. We are blessed with a lovely son, Akshat, who is studying in .Senior KG Spectrum : Your career graph DM : I started my career with tyre industry where I worked for about 7 years. I joined Reliance Petroleum Retail as Truck Stop

Manager in 2003 and worked in that capacity before the assignment of Area Manager in 2007. I took up the new assignment of SBDM Gujarat LPG Business on 25th July 2011 and looking forward to an exciting career here. Spectrum : How are you finding the new assignment? DM : I have heard a lot about the family atmosphere and close knit relations in the LPG family. My little experience of these couple of months has reinforced that perception. Since I had seen the LPG business function during my assignment in MP, the basics of the business are known to me. With 15 years sales experience to back, I am very hopeful of making the most of this new assignment has got to offer. Having an experienced and dedicated team of LPG Area Sales Managers to support, I do not envisage any difficulty in this new assignment. I have already met most of the channel partners also and finding them very excited and eager to lay their hands on the new opportunities, especially since the business is expected to grow in the wake of much talked about deregulation. Spectrum : A little genie whispered in our ears just now Deven ne bahut paapad bele hein Ranu ko haasil karne mein . Whats that?(non-veg tak chod diya deven ji ne Ranu ji ke kehne pe) DM : Hey Bhagwaan.ye kaise pata chala. Ranu was my neighbour when we were in Khandwa. Though I had a crush on her, I never let her know about it since I was only in 8 th standard then. Later when she joined my college, I remembered the old pehchaan and befriended her again. When I proposed to her subsequently, she was shell shocked and took good two years to accept the offer while I kept on following up on my proposal every now & then. (The true sales manager prospecting, proposal, follow-up and deal closing. ) So the little genie is right bahut papad belna pada tha. Now we are happily married She is happy and I am married. (Disclaimer : All the views expressed in this article are Devens own and Spectrum does not assume any responsibility for them nor it will re-imburse his medical bills in case if he suffers bone fracture or head injuries due to belan attack) Spectrum : Do you find that Suresh had left with lot of mess on his table for you to clear? DM : Not at all. Infact, Suresh has helped a lot in my initial days here and in-fact, the house I am moving into now is also negotiated by him. I find him to be a thorough gentleman with a big heart and I am very happy with what I got from him. (Suresh, tu bach gaya!) Spectrum : Gem of a person and the life of the party are some of the adjectives used to describe Suresh Uniyal. Replacing him would have put lot of pressure on you due to the sheer load of expectations. What is your take? DM : Every person is a different animal (GRR may forgive for using his patented word). Instead of saying in many words, I would prefer my actions to speak in due course. I am confident of ensuring that the absence is not felt. Party karke to dekho jaan kya hoti hai dekhoge. (Jee haan saab lekin ek baat to pakki hai. Aap uske jaise samundar mein nahaa nahin sakte hein.) Spectrum : Your other hobbies and interests? DM : I must tell you that I was a cricket player during my school days. I was a student of Sanjay Jagdale (national cricket selector) cricket academy and have played with Narendra Hirwani, Amay Khurasia etc. I was a fast bowler and opening batsman which is a rare combination. But, in typical middle class style, my mother did not allow me to continue cricketing and that remains one of my unfulfilled desire. The other unfulfilled dream is to become a Police Officer though I gave MPSC exam albeit unsuccessfully. Nowadays since my wife is pursuing her Doctoral in Hindi literature, I am also reading lot of Hindi fiction, especially authored by Shivani. Today, physical fitness and physical exercise remains on the top of my priorities.

Spectrum : What you liked the most in your earlier bosses? DM : Previous to joining LPG, I was reporting to Sh MV Shrinivas (State Head Madhya Pradesh Petroleum Retail) who has in-depth knowledge of every product and also speaks with authority on most of the topics. I learnt three major virtues from him Clarity of communication / preparation for the meetings / ownership for your acts. It was a wonderful learning experience with him Spectrum : Now, what about your current boss, Mr Champavat (chalo, ab Geeta par haath rakhkar sach bolo. ) DM : pehle Geeta ko bulao to sahee phir haath rakhne ki baat. Jokes apart, Mr Champavat is a person who speaks his heart out. Jo mann mein aata hai wo bol dete hein He is very co-operative, down to earth and absolutely team player. He is very friendly, open and non-egoistic. Even I find GRR also very simple and straight-forward person and absolutely boss unlike. (isiliye Geeta nahi aayee!) Spectrum: What is your dream for yourself & Family? DM: Sirji, Sale wale sapna bechtein hai, dekhtein nahi!!(wah kya dialogue hai,100/100) Spectrum : GRR has a reputation of being perfectionist and not accepting any proposal on the first instance. What is your experience? DM : My interactions so far do not support your claim. I have heard that the now quiet a famous team LIIL is largely due to GRR and it is the team built by him. I am eager to be a part of that team. (ab yaar next HIPO ki taaiyari mat kar, ghumta rahega.) (Devendra wants to contribute something for Spectrum, he loved the magazine. We wish all the very best and welcome him once again to the world of LIIL wholeheartedly!)

Divine nine nights.Navratri!!

Navratri represents how the negativity can be conquered by the inherent positive qualities in an individual so that one emerges as a Divine being." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar The Hindu festival of Navratri, which extends for nine days, is celebrated with gusto in different regions of the country. In the eastern state of West Bengal, the festival takes the shape of Durga Puja, when the devotees of the deity celebrate the triumph of good over evil. There, Ma Durga is worshipped as Goddess Shakti. In north India, Maharashtra and Gujarat, people observe a seven day fast during Navratri and break their fast on Ashtami (the eighth day of the festival) by worshiping young girls. However, some people observe fast until the Ashtami and break their fast only on Navami (the ninth day). 'Nav' means 'nine' and 'ratri' means 'night'. Thus, 'Navratri' means 'nine nights'. There are many legends attached to the conception of Navratri like all Indian festivals. All of them are related to Goddess Shakti (Hindu Mother Goddess) and her various forms. Dandiya and Garba Rass are the highlights of the festival in Gujarat, while farmer sow seeds and thank the Goddess for her blessings and pray for better yield. In older times, Navratri was associated with the fertility of Mother Earth who feed us as her children. The Navratri festival (Navratras) kicked off on Monday, April 4, 2011 with great excitement across India and was celebrated with fun and ardor. Ahmedabad is one of the greatest places to enjoy Navratri. All kinds of Rasa-Garbas, Dandia ras etc. are practiced in this period, feasting and fasting are important cultural aspects of this day, and various rituals are performed at temples of the 9 Goddesses of Hinduism. The atmosphere is electric and revelry is in the air. RCP too celebrated Navratri this time with much of aplomb. Each block was laced with petals of colorful flowers and colleagues too were dressed in the festive attire. All in all, it was a treat to the eyes. One could witness the zeal and fervor of the people with which they indulged in the festive activities of the season! Navratri stands as a highly admired and prominent occasion, commemorated by people across different parts of India, a land of colorful and vibrant clutter of festivals. Even though the festival is marked differently, the essence and core remains the same - victory of good over evil.

The longstanding demand for electricity connection to our Jaipur bottling plant materialized on 06 th September 2011 GR Reddy inaugurated the RSEB connection. It was made possible by the sustained follow-up and efforts by our Plant Manager Sh Mahendra Patidar who was ably supported by our Rajasthan State Head Sh VikramSingh Rao. Special thanks to Sh Jaimin Shah and Sh Aviti Chatterjee who helped in procurement of materials and services while Harisha Kumar (Operations Head LIIL) was also present during the occasion. Every moment needs to be celebrated so how such important one can be left ?
