Post unlock things have started to turn back to normal: Sarika Rahul Rajgaria

By Anil Mishra
Panaji, Mar 8 (UNI) Sarika Rahul Rajgaria, Director of sales, Pentagon Tapes, has said that though there was temporary hold at production and distribution stage during the initial stage of lockdown imposed due to Covid 19 pandemic but post implementation of unlock things have started to turn back to normal.
Speaking to UNI, she said though the new government imposed SOPs were implemented in both the manufacturing and distribution sector of Pentagon Tapes but it was realised that the majority of the overseeing and tracking work could be done from home itself after the installation of proper IT infrastructure.
''This advancement has benefited specially for women workers who otherwise have to physically be present at the site to keep a proper track of what was happening. This technique has also helped all our employees improve their productivity as there is a proper track kept of each and every function to ensure the operation runs smoothly,'' she said.
She said,'' COVID 19 pandemic came like a shock to all of us and initially we were not prepared for the halt in the manufacturing and distribution departments, as it requires the presence of humans to carry out day to day activity. Initially all the process had to be stopped until we received a green signal from the government that we could operate again. On restart, we invested in IT infrastructure which ensured that we could have minimum people who would work at the site while all the monitoring work could be done from the convenience of a workstation/home. Initially it was a challenge to educate all the workers about the proper usage of technology to get the desired results, but eventually things started shaping up and currently we can proudly say that things have come back to normal operational capacity in both manufacturing and distribution aspects of the business.''
When asked did she see the role of women in manufacturing and distribution business PAN India, Ms sarika said,'' In the earlier days manufacturing and distribution business in India was dominated by men, but after technological advancements like proper ERP software's, things have revolutionized in the industries. In today's time majorly men are still employed for labour related work whereas women have been trusted with monitoring the whole process with the help of proper IT infrastructure. This allows them to work at the convenience of their home or workstation.''
On adhesive tapes reshaping the bonding solution for manufacturers around the globe, she said from bonding of small applications like sticking a batch of honor on the vehicle to sticking heavy metal and glass panels, there was a need for an adhesive solution which was strong and reliable.
''There were many options available in the market but they all had few limitations like drying up too quickly before it could be entirely used or leaving a residue on either the craftsmen’s gloves or his clothes. As there was a need for a cleaner, cost efficient and reliable options, Adhesive tapes came as a better alternative. These tapes provided the required strength to bond the objects and had an efficient and mess free application routine which ensured great results,'' she said.
When asked how tapes were revolutionizing the tape game for more DIY undertakings for all age gatherings, she said,''
Post COVID lockdown DIY is now a necessity worldwide. Tapes are new age magical solution for DIY in day-to-day applications. It is a versatile tool which can be used right from children school projects avoiding using messy glue to ensuring safe walkways for the senior citizens by creating slip-proof walkways using our anti skid tapes. These tapes also ensure that there is no need for a carpenter or a handyman to derive desired results from them as they are very simple to use.''
On how can tapes be a solution during setting up new home and how can they be helpful in the assembly of articles without the use or hammer or nails, she said,''Adhesive tapes have wide application in setting our homes. Work can be done by oneself without the help of a carpenter or handyman. It is a simple way of bonding saving time, energy and money. Since the beginning of the 21st century Noise pollution is one of the main factors effecting health of the population around the world. When we think of nails and hammer, the first thing which hit us is deadly sound of hammer hitting the nail. We search for peace of mind from very moment when the hammer starts hitting the nail till the work is completed. Adhesive Tapes are the best alternative to Nails & Hammer. They can be used to bond any surface like Metal, Plywood, Decorative Panel, Artificial Stone & so on. It gives instant bonding that is as strong as Nail but with longer durability. It is easy to maintain and replace with minimum time and labour. Apart from domestic use, use of tapes is best alternative to Nails and Hammer for almost all Industrial Applications in automotive, furniture & fixture, white good appliances, solar panels, locomotive serospace, constructions and so on.''
