world trend.

According to CRISIL, India's premier rating agency Gujarat leads

rest of India in the MSME sector, contributing 16 per cent of

India's industrial output. The credit flow to these units is also

increasing at a faster pace in Gujarat due to favorable investment

climate in the state and deliberate efforts taken by State Govern-

ment to promote investment in MSME sector. Given that the con-

tribution of MSMEs to future inclusive growth of Gujarat is likely

to be significant.

MSMEs have made major contributions to the state as well as the

national economy especially in terms of value addition, employ-

ment generation and entrepreneurship development. There are cur-

rently 525,000 MSMEs in Gujarat. Surat has the highest number of

registered MSMEs in Gujarat, followed by Ahmedabad, Rajkot,

Vadodara, Valsad, Bharuch and Kachchh.

The new Industrial Policy for Gujarat has laid emphasis on encour-

aging expansion of the skilled and educated manpower base. It is

the conscious policy of the Gujarat government to provide incen-

tives for investments which are directed towards enhancing the skill

levels of the manpower and ensuring that the talent pool available

in the state is in line with the industry's needs.

tion, market penetration and modernization of infrastructure

promotional efforts, has not caught on India.

Farmers still look up to monsoon rains for their

sustenance. The small size of the farms imposes

design constraint and small farmers find drip

irrigation expensive because of high energy costs.

Yet this has not deterred Mr. Hitesh Patel to

venture into the business of manufacturing drip irrigation systems.

A graduate in agriculture he forayed into manufacture of drip and

sprinkler systems in 1994.

Hailing from a farming family, 45-year-old Mr. Patel, gained much

experience in selling irrigation systems as a commission agent for a

Kolkata based firm. After completing studies he expanded his selling

activity in Janagadh, Gondal and Jamnagar and was eminently

successful. The success spurred him to start his own manufacturing

unit.

become the world’s top drip irrigation arena, a position enjoyed by

Israel today.

but has also diversified as a plastic processing group manufacturing

and marketing HDPE pipes, PVC pipes and fittings. The enterprise

also in overseas markets. It produces among other things solar lights,

Captain Tractors Pvt. Ltd.

Failure is the First Step Towards SuccessBest MSME Award 2012 for Quality and Environment Measures — Small Entreprise

The small and marginal farmers are usually reticent to own a

tractor mainly because owning them is a costly proposition. But

a revolutionary mini-tractor manufactured by a Veraval firm is

changing the scenario. Gujarat farmers are now giving thumbs up

for tractors.

This change has been brought about by Captain Tractors Pvt. Ltd.,

established in 1994 by the visionary farmer brothers

Mr. G. T. Patel and Mr. M. T. Patel, hailing from Rajkot. They innovated

and developed a Mini Tractor that was affordable and which

performed their useful chores everyday.

The mini tractor was the result of four years of rigorous efforts. With

drink in every one’s life. It’s a little nudge which changes a man into

a personality. For me Mr. M.T. Patel and my uncle Mr. G.T. Patel have

been the motivators in my life.

On failure he says Failure is part of life. But it can be overcome with

positive attitude and finding new ways to achieve success.

Shree Hans Alloys Limited

Strong Will and Determination Alone arePathways to Success

Best MSME Award 2012 for Quality and Environment Measures — Medium Entreprise

Success has no specific definition or fixed

formula, but it is a result of one’s dreams

turning to reality each day. To realize success one

must have a strong will and a determination to

pursue one’s dreams.

So says Dineshbhai Daga, the promoter of Shree

Hans Alloys Limited at Dholka near Ahmedabad.

The SME is manufacturing and exporting a wide range of steel and

stainless castings used extensively in Cement, Aluminium, shipping,

chemicals, power generation and mining sectors.

Shree Hans Alloys has been chosen for the outstanding SME Awards

for the year 2012.

Dineshbhai adds: “To achieve long term success, one has to develop

expertise in his/her field of work, be updated with latest technology,

create a competitive edge and keep customer and people of the

organization on top priority.

His five key elements for starting and running a successful business

are:

1. Make your work, a personal commitment i.e. your passion,

do what you enjoy.

2. Manage and invest relationship, time and money wisely.

Gujarat – Entrepreneurial Excellence of MSMEs 21

Dineshbhai avers that every person defines success in his own way

and tries to evolve his own formula for success. But the common

elements are more or less the same. Discipline, Confidence and

optimism in one’s thought process are a must. Further, if one has

ability to relate to people and understand human behavior, and

then it’s an added advantage.

His greatest inspiration is Mr. Ratan Tata who has shown how to

achieve the impossible by placing faith in people with proven

capabilities.

Dineshbhai’s foray into steel casting was not by choice. It was an

opportunity that presented itself to enter the sector. His family was

in trading business.

On the effect of failures on business, Dineshbhai notes that without

failures, success cannot be measured. Failures have always opened

up for the new steps to check the future possibilities to be positive

and result oriented.

His three advices to school and college students who want to

become entrepreneurs are:

• Be clear about your Goal in life/Career.

• Be honest to your self

• Put in efforts to achieving set Goals and be disciplined in your

life.

ensures complete control of product quality plus flexibility in

Their efforts have yielded great results. Techno Instruments is

registering an awesome annual growth rate of 30%. It is now a

registered vendor with GAIL, the Tata group, Indian Rails, Aditya Birla

group and many more. The Finnish major ABB has selected Techno

as a global supplier.

Mr. Abijit Gohil, the prime mover behind Techno Instruments defines

journey to elevate one-self.

According to him the five key elements for starting and running a

successful business are:

A dream to achieve some goal, Be passionate about one’s targets.

Be receptive to new ideas. Observe and analyze the world around

one self and Build a dependable Team.

Mr. Parikh says his father is his greatest inspiration who consistently

encouraged him to see the world from a different perspective and

take up difficult tasks as a challenge.

He narrates how they came to promote Techno. He along with

Daxesh Shah decided to start a business to survive. Mr. Bhavesh

Parikh who was employed in a multi-national decided to join their

venture too.

Techno encountered many failures and the lesson from these was

that one should not run away from failure. Rather reasons for failure

should be analyzed and attempts must be made again till one

succeeded.

He had no specific advice to school and college students who want

to become entrepreneurs. But every human has to work to survive.

So it is one’s choice when to work. Whether work till 35 years or

after 35. A smart person will always go with the first choice. The

second option is like farming where one keeps working hard.

Agriland Bio-technology Limited

Success is Consistent Work andWhat Best We Deliver to Customers

Best MSME Award 2012 for Innovation in Technology — Small Entreprise

“Our Best is Yet to Come” is the distinct

refrain of Agriland Bio-technology

Limited, a company based in Vadodara. It is a

simple but ringing message that the company is

delivering best products and is on the path to

deliver still better products in the future.

The refrain is a testimony to the fact the company

intends to draw on exciting innovations that have

given birth to new manufacturing technologies

for producing plant protection products. One such

innovation is the Surface technology, an

environmentally robust technology that is relied

upon for producing items like biopesticides which

enable farmers in achieving precision agriculture.

Agriland Bio-tech is one of MSME’s chosen for the Government of

Gujarat Awards for Best MSMEs for the year 2012.

Promoted by Mr. Ramji Manguika and Mr. Mukesh Patel, who are

masters in agriculture, the technology ensures production of

products with longer shelf-life, higher potency and results in better

field efficacies as compared to similar biological products.

High potency plant protection products are like a second big jackpot

to Indian farmers after the Green revolution. In simple terms the

Surface Manufacturing Technology carries a promise that each rupee

spent for plant protection is rewarded with good return.

This is evident from the fact the company is clocking a growth rate

of 15% to 30% every year and 20% of the output is being exported.

To Mr. Manguika and Mr. Patel, success is what best we deliver and

contribute to the lives of our customers. For achieving long term

success, we should continuously endeavor to do consistent work,

carry out product innovation along with team building, team aligning

and customer services.

According to them the five key elements for starting and running a

successful business are:

1. Aspiring ambition for financial strength, creating net worth and

contributing all worth to customers, employees and the society

2. Cultivating moderate to high risk bearing capacity

3. Commitment to the people around us and , commitment to self

4. Hard, consistent and smart work.

5. Imbue decision making power and be determined to find

solutions even in worst case scenarios.

They stress that there is no ready-made formula to become a

successful entrepreneur but a pattern can be evolved by solving

problems.

To the technocrat promoters the biggest motivating factors are two:

The needs of the customers. People who have achieved resounding

success in their endeavours.

On successful form of marketing, they are of the view that it is not a

single form of market but a bowl of many components that really

work for the developing market like India. Besides the conventional

dealer-distributor network system, the direct contact with farmers

helps in promotion of their products.

On experiencing failure: Failures are bound to be with almost all

the businesses. We succeeded in the first attempt but experienced

failures too with marginal impacts. They however taught us to

overcome fear by continuing our entrepreneurial journey by adopting

innovations and through expansions, and up-gradations.

Mr Manguika and Mr. Patel outlined the following advices for

tomorrow’s enrepreneurs who still are pursuing their academic

careers.

What three pieces of advice would you give to school and college

students who want to become entrepreneurs?

1. Dedicate to the work and keep insight for smart work

2. Have extreme desire to give the best to the society

3. Be ready for great decisions for making further headway,

irrespective of how hard the problems are.
