“The distance between number one and number two is always a constant. If you want to improve the
organization, you have to improve yourself and the organization gets pulled up with you.” – Indra Nooyi
The second quarter results as per the accounts adopted for the quarter ending 30th September 2019
were announced on 11th November 2019. The results were approved by the Board in its Meeting held in
Kolkata on the same day. The total income registered for the second quarter was Rs. 404 crores. While
the Profit Before Tax (PBT) stood Rs. 45 crores for the quarter ended 30th September 2019, the Net
Profit (PAT) was Rs. 38 crores. The financial results are not encouraging and our performance needs
attention. All of us need to buck up as the true measure of the value of any business leader and
manager is performance. Though there is a global economic slowdown, we have to identify ways and
means to increase our turnover and profits, sustain our position as market leaders in the different
segments we operate and continue our endeavour to be future ready.
The 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi was celebrated on 2nd October 2019. To mark this
occasion, besides organising various 'Swachhata Hi Seva' activities, we have been running a three-
month social media campaign - #AbNahiTohKab - on Balmer Lawrie Facebook
(https://www.facebook.com/balmerlawrie/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/Balmer_Lawrie) pages to
spread the message of Swachhata and ‘Say No to Single Use Plastic’. The campaign will culminate on
31st December 2019. Vigilance Awareness Week was observed from 28th October to 2nd November
2019. This year the theme was 'ईमानदारी - एक जीवन शैली / Integrity - A way of life'. We will bring you
glimpses of the various programs in the December 2019 issue of BLOOM.
On 31st October 2019, our country paid tribute and celebrated the 144th birth anniversary of Sardar
Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron Man of India. As we all know, Sardar Patel was Independent India's first
Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister. He was instrumental in making a united India from the 565
semi-autonomous princely states and British-era colonial provinces. The birth anniversary of Sardar
Vallabhbhai Patel is observed as Rashtriya Ekta Diwas or National Unity Day. This day was introduced
by the Government of India in 2014. This year, National Unity Day has a special significance, as it
marks the completion of the task of making Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh an integral part of India
by abrogating Article 370. This truly represents the dream of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel of an integrated
India. Quami Ekta Week is being observed from 19th to 25th November 2019. The Quami Ekta Week is
celebrated to foster and reinforce the strength of public harmony and national integration. The week-
long celebrations help to reaffirm the old traditions, culture and faith to promote tolerance and
brotherhood and communal harmony in a multi-religious and multi-cultural country like ours. As always,
please send your feedback, contributions and suggestions to mukhopadhyay.mohar@balmerlawrie.com.

Bloom November 2019

  • 1. BALMER LAWRIE MONTHLY BULLETIN ONLINE “The distance between number one and number two is always a constant. If you want to improve the organization, you have to improve yourself and the organization gets pulled up with you.” – Indra Nooyi The second quarter results as per the accounts adopted for the quarter ending 30th September 2019 were announced on 11th November 2019. The results were approved by the Board in its Meeting held in Kolkata on the same day. The total income registered for the second quarter was Rs. 404 crores. While the Profit Before Tax (PBT) stood Rs. 45 crores for the quarter ended 30th September 2019, the Net Profit (PAT) was Rs. 38 crores. The financial results are not encouraging and our performance needs attention. All of us need to buck up as the true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance. Though there is a global economic slowdown, we have to identify ways and means to increase our turnover and profits, sustain our position as market leaders in the different segments we operate and continue our endeavour to be future ready. The 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi was celebrated on 2nd October 2019. To mark this occasion, besides organising various 'Swachhata Hi Seva' activities, we have been running a three- month social media campaign - #AbNahiTohKab - on Balmer Lawrie Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/balmerlawrie/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/Balmer_Lawrie) pages to spread the message of Swachhata and ‘Say No to Single Use Plastic’. The campaign will culminate on 31st December 2019. Vigilance Awareness Week was observed from 28th October to 2nd November 2019. This year the theme was 'ईमानदारी - एक जीवन शैली / Integrity - A way of life'. We will bring you glimpses of the various programs in the December 2019 issue of BLOOM. On 31st October 2019, our country paid tribute and celebrated the 144th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron Man of India. As we all know, Sardar Patel was Independent India's first Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister. He was instrumental in making a united India from the 565 semi-autonomous princely states and British-era colonial provinces. The birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is observed as Rashtriya Ekta Diwas or National Unity Day. This day was introduced by the Government of India in 2014. This year, National Unity Day has a special significance, as it marks the completion of the task of making Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh an integral part of India by abrogating Article 370. This truly represents the dream of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel of an integrated India. Quami Ekta Week is being observed from 19th to 25th November 2019. The Quami Ekta Week is celebrated to foster and reinforce the strength of public harmony and national integration. The week- long celebrations help to reaffirm the old traditions, culture and faith to promote tolerance and brotherhood and communal harmony in a multi-religious and multi-cultural country like ours. As always, please send your feedback, contributions and suggestions to mukhopadhyay.mohar@balmerlawrie.com. Mohar EDITORIAL Vol. 9 Issue 11 November 2019
