CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE 

My dear Colleagues,  

Namasthe,

I am assuming charge as the Officiating Chairman of our company from today. My additional responsibility comes at a time when HAL is going through a very significant phase.  We have a number of new programmes waiting in the wings to be launched; we also have series of ongoing major projects that needs to be completed as per the agreed schedules.  We have a number of challenges that needs to be tackled in the wake of stiff competition from new players.  The visionaries who have spearheaded HAL in the past and thousands of employees and officers, who have toiled hard to bring this Company to the current level, have all taught us many valuable lessons which are acting as guiding lights today.

To me, each one of You matters the most.  It is You who inspires me every day. It is your support, your vision and your undying spirit that has helped HAL conquer all the glory.  To take the Company forward and to make it one among the best in the world, we have to work together as a team, keeping aside our designations and positions.  Here are some thoughts that came to my mind to propel HAL further:

• Let's meet our targets without sweating and toiling so much at the last minute.
• Let's keep quality of the product as the most paramount factor.
• Ownership and product support are very vital.
• Customer has every right to demand and we must have the qualities to listen.
• Can we foresee the problems in advance rather than waiting for it to happen.
• Youngsters should value the experience of seniors and seniors should channelize the energy levels and potential of youngsters.
• Plan properly, plan on time.
• Making mistakes is not a crime, but repeating it again and again is a sin.
• Stick to the moral values and always share your strengths.

I will communicate with you regularly and if you have any concerns, you can email me at:  chairman@hal-india.com.

My best wishes to you and your family members. Keep the HAL flag flying in your heart every day.

Warm Regards
