Gaurav Sathaye,Editor, Ink News Welcome to InkNews....

InkNews salutes our Brave Armed forces (Indian Air Force, Army and Navy) that

always put their life on the line to protect our great Nation. We also pay a token

of respect to the martyrs of the Pulwama Terror attack. India must be applauded

for taking decisive action again through high precision Surgical Strikes on terror

camps. The global support against Terrorism gathered through diplomacy also

cannot be ignored.

Some learnings from the episode :

1. Never take life for granted. Always thank what you have and that you exist.

2. Timely Decisions are most important. When in doubt it is better to take a

wrong decision than to procrastinate it.

3. Citizens are more patriotic and cohesive when under threat

4. Reputation and Relationship directly affect the extent and magnitude of

support from associates

While the men in uniform line up at the borders to counter any provocation and

cease fire violations, our AIPIMA forces have been preparing hard for Flagship

exhibition AsiaCoat + Ink Show 2019. The Exhibition & Conference Committee

is doing its best to ensure all delegates, speakers, visitors, exhibitors and

stakeholders associated with the shows get the best of facilities, infrastructure

and returns for their effort and moneys as the case may be. Do attend to support

your association and meet your favourite vendor partners at....

AIPIMA hopes the show is as successful as the recently

held Print Pack India 2019 in Greater Noida. AIPIMA also

held a technical conference “INK-PACK” on the sidelines of

PrintPack India 2019. INK-PACK had a wide range of topics

covering Packaging Inks, Regulation / Compliance, UV Inks,

etc. This edition of INKNEWS takes a look at some of the

topics covered in the conference through articles by the

respective speakers as well as takes a sneak-peak at the

upcoming exhibition and conference.

Come April, our great country and the World’s largest

democracy braces for General Elections – which will

supposedly be the largest and also the costliest elections

intheworld.Thistimeabout18Crorenewyoungfirsttime

voters will potentially get to exercise their Right to Vote. This

isalmost15%ofthetotalelectorateandcancausealarge

swing in these upcoming elections as the millennial voters

may not be as gullible or as susceptible to caste politics.

Hopefully the country votes, and votes wisely to give itself a

pro-development and action oriented government.

Enjoy AsiaCoat + Ink Show 2019 and the campaign trail..

Happy Reading !!
