To keep environmental impact within the self-recovery capability of the natural environment, setting specific goals for the prevention of global warming, the conservation of resources, and the prevention of pollution is important for achieve of idle society. A new vision of the role of education and public awareness in achieving sustainability has emerged during the last few decades. In this period, many organizations have undertaken environmental reviews, audits and other procedures to assess their environmental performances. The emerging consensus is that when environmental management systems become a part of running of any organization, only then can an organization survive in the long term.

The International Conference is on the subject "Environment and its Impact on Society" and would involve participation of academicians, policy makers and entrepreneurs, research scholars and students from various institutes and Universities and NGO's with international participation.

A Conference on this topic will highlight successful examples from around the world concerning attempts of integration of education and public awareness into national and local plans and strategies for sustainability, technology, curriculum development, new partnerships and networks.

Lauching of “MaayasDeep” Incense Sticks by SMJ

Lauching of “MaayasDeep” Incense Sticks by SMJ

Kolkata: Venture Private Limited  now introducing Incense Sticks under “MaayasDeep” after successful launching of their products “Deep” – Kapur (Camphor Tablets) and plastic containers under "Ceraplast" last year as Company’s plan to diversification  into the FMCG sector. Mr. Shyam Sunder Jaiswal, CMD, Mrs. Maya Jaiswal, Mr. Rohan Jaiswal, Mr. Assini Jaiswal, Director of company were present at the time of launching of Incense Sticks under “MaayasDeep” brand.

The followings are the 5 different “MaayasDeep” fragrances (with the name mentioned  namely 1. Astha 2. Desires 3. Natural 4. Live 5. Natural Flower) that would be initially launched. This name relates to the human perceptions and the post experiences the user will have with each product.

ASTHA

Astha is a Hindi word meaning “Faith”. Faith in the Supreme, the Divine. Faith people have in their abilities, strengths and knowledge. Our bonding, with supreme power and our capabilities, often gets suppressed by certain forces and that too without notice. We believe that with “Deep Astha” and “conviction” one can achieve wonders.

Desires

Desire helps you to fulfil your spiritual desires. It gives you the feeling of being closer to the divine forces. The very thought of closeness to the Supreme powers gives us a lot of joy and takes us to the fulfilment of desired spiritual goals. The motivational aspect of desire has long been noted and asserted by us. Desires are the fundamental motivation of all human actions.

Natural

Every natural thing around us is an assertion that the supreme is very much conscious of human needs. Let’s be Natural in our way and our Life and start to believe in ourselves and connect with ourselves because the Supreme is right inside us.

Live

Live your moments your way rather than the way others want you to live.

Natural Flower

Enjoy the sweet fragrances of Natural Flower that rejuvenates our mind and soul.

 

About SMJ

SMJ Venture Private Limited  is a well known name in the manufacturing and supplying of battery vent caps and battery spare parts like Rope handles, Terminal Pole caps,, fume arresters and many more. These vent caps and accessories are used in all sorts of batteries such as automotive, inverter, traction, solar, industrial, train signal and lighting. 

From a humble beginning in 1994 to where we are today - it has been an arduous and satisfying journey. Manual processes to fully automated production and assembly lines, a 1000 SQFT shed to 35000+ SQFT shed, a 90 SQFT tool room to a machine shop spread over 3300+ SQFT, an ad-hoc product development approach to a research based approach with an in-house R&D division equipped with CAD, a team of 10 to a team of 150+, a single product to dozens of products, industrial products to industrial service and FMCG products - that's no mean achievement and we are really proud of it. 

Our diversification into the FMCG space (with introduction of plastic containers under "Ceraplast" and camphor tablets under "Deep" brand) and now Incense Sticks under “MaayasDeep” is an outcome of a robust strategy to pursue multiple drivers of growth. This type of diversification is often seen with scepticism but we see these new lines of businesses to fuel our growth engine in near future, post the encouraging response to our test marketing of our new offerings. 

Innovation has been a constant companion of SMJ since the very beginning. From ordinary caps to ceramic caps to porous caps and continuing, we have kept pace with times in terms of quality, design and technology. The quest for newer and better products has led us to develop vent caps for OPzS batteries, Anti Splash "Provent Caps" .Our Design and R&D team is working on some very exciting projects and concepts and we are very confident about the business prospects of the same. 

Our products have found favor not only with Indian buyers; they have been equally appreciated by overseas buyers as well. Our products have led us to markets such as Bangladesh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Chile, Ukraine, Oman etc. We would like to keep the tradition going and do everything possible to reach many more frontiers.  

In order to grow and prosper in today's competitive world, a company must keep its back office efficient and nimble to serve its customer better. Adoption of a scalable ERP solution namely Libra is a step in that direction. We are working on some path breaking concepts and implementations, so far unheard of in small enterprises. 

It is often said, "in order to be good, stay in company of good people" and SMJ has been fortunate to be with good people - Customers, Vendors, Bankers and last but not the least it's Team Members and we are thankful to each one of them.

About “Deep” – Kapur

In the year 2012, we take our first step in FMCG segment by launching camphor tablets under “Deep” brand. The market was full of adulterated camphor but we had some other ideas. There were initial setbacks because of higher price point of our offering but we stuck to our principles of offering the best. Soon we started receiving positive feedback. Encouraging response from patrons lead to improved packaging and improvised pack sizes too. 

Success of Deep camphor is followed by birth of plastic containers under “Ceraplast” brand. The new series of plastic containers were aptly called Snappy (the snappers which lock the top over the bottom). 

Good products are a result of a solid team effort and the acceptance of the products by the patrons is the biggest accolade for a team. The journey so far has been very encouraging and we wish to play many more wonderful innings of innovative ideas, designs & products reciprocated with better customer satisfaction and enthusiasm in the years to come.
