Onsite Seminar IV

Namaste blog followers! After having enjoyed a cultural intensive weekend, we started off the business week with full energy and motivation. Although we needed to leave some of your fellow delegates behind us due to bellyache, we the remaining 12 delegation members headed off to a 2.5 hours bus journey to our first company visit of today, which was Kohinoor Food – the biggest basmati rice producer of India. We not only had the chance to see the production site and got to know the numerous steps in the production process of basmati rice, but we also could taste the real flavor of the Kohinoor rice. It has been amazing to learn more about the early branding in the 80s of Kohinoor Food as well as the fact that around 1’000 tons of rice leave the plant each day!

After a delicious lunch we continued our journey to the next meeting at Blaser Swisslube India, which again did last for quite a while. However, we bridged the travelling time by chatting with each other or even catching up some sleep. Also, some have been enjoying an interactive session on how to tie a tie, instructed by one of our delegate, which was very much appreciated by some male delegates who were not experts yet in this regard;)

We planned and also arrived at 5pm sharp at the office of Blaser Swisslube (pretty good time management if you take usual Indian traffic conditions into account!) and the whole delegation has been keen on interacting with Blaser employees during the presentation session, which was followed by a very tasteful Indian dinner.

I am convinced that today was a truly enriching business day for the Focus India participants and it made us even more excited for the coming visits.
