The idea of collaborations, conferences, meeting targets isn'trevolutionary. But when we bring in a 'role-model' approach,we begin to make a difference. This was evident when Surya Trade Wings brought laurels to the Group by winning an award for the Best Performing Site for the entire North East Region from Principal Partner P & G. On its innovative high was Surya Care by entering into a tie-up with Big Bazaar chain of stores for sharing the shelf space with the best of the brands in the wellness domain. As ever, SPL made its presence felt among the best in the industry in the most comprehensive pharma platform, CphI India. The participation there became all the more memorable when Abbot India Limited, one of the international leaders in pharma sector, awarded SPL for their timely delivery and quality service. On the product portfolio front, SPL's Formulations division enhanced its reach and range by foraying into skin care. Surya Healthway was all high with the launch of its juices under the label Seasons. RFGL is going great guns as it bags a prestigious order from tractor giant Tafe. The huge response received to the Fearless Family Campaign shows that VIVA's marketing strategy clicked well with customers. The previous few weeks were also peppered with fun as our education vertical Surya World frolicked through competitions, organised enriching lectures and celebrated Lohri at the campus. The pace of activities is as dynamic as ever all across

The year 2012 is of special significance for us as it marks the entry into twentieth year since we started our eventful journey of Surya Corp in 1992. It is, therefore, an opportune time to reflect on the nature and quality of accomplishments thus far, and the underlying drivers of our growth trajectory. As I introspect, I feel that the transformation from a fledgling enterprise to the scale that Surya Corp is today, has been powered by the Vision that has provided the overarching inspiration; the Values that have served to guide thought and action; and the Vitality of the team that has enabled excellence in strategy formulation and execution. Vision Envisioning to emerge as a leader in all the businesses has always been a hallmark of Surya and we articulated the Vision that characterises our Company's value chain relationships, imparts a larger purpose, requires each of Surya's business to attain leadership on the strength of innovation, excellence and competitiveness and thereby, imparts meaning to individual endeavour. Values Values refer to the institutional standards of behaviour that strengthen commitment to the Vision, and guide strategy formulation and purposive action. The Core Values of Surya are shaped around the unwavering commitment to integrity, transparency, excellence and quality. Innovation and abiding concern for stakeholders are at the heart of Surya's value system and the combination of these Values have determined the choice of Surya's strategy. Vitality A compelling Vision and strong Values by themselves could not have radically transformed Surya without the Vitality, the Surya team. It is the team that has enabled robust strategy formulation and execution. In these days of unfolding challenges, the Vitality, the team is rather the most critical enabler. To a striking degree, all businesses today are based on people and ideas. It is the Vitality, the team and the ideas that are manifest all through, whether it is strengthening competitive capability, the deepening consumer insight, the breakthrough innovations in products and processes, the ability to harness technology, the quality of service we deliver and adaptiveness to continuously leverage market opportunities. And all this absolutely depends on the talents of all of us and the value we bring to every assignment, every day . But the bigger question is how to bring value to every assignment, every dayThis happens only when we have ownership towards the assignment, as a team member give more than hundred percent, transcend 'this is not my job' mind-set, and show a higher level of connection and commitment. Inspired by Vision, driven by Values, powered by Vitality, the journey of the past two decades has been most rewarding for the entire Surya team. However, to take the company to the next level, what is really required is our commitment to stay the course of a challenging strategic path, and our willingness to go an extra mile to provide a cutting edge by adding value to whatever we do. The future belongs to those who can inspire, ideate, innovate and exercise their own brand of leadership by assuming ownership and personal accountability. In sync, I encourage you to put your best foot forward and deliver the best to take advantage of this huge opportunity called Surya.

Handy tips to make winters more enjoyable

Contributed by Tanu Gupta Viva Team

Cold foggy mornings, glistening dew on the velvety leaves sky arrayed with feathery clouds and the feeble yellow disc called sun trying vainly to warm the chilly air- are the amazing things about winters. It can be lots of fun if you are well prepared for the winters by taking certain safeguard measures. In cold weather, you require more calories and spices such as ginger and garlic to provide heat to your body Most of the body heat is lost through the head, so preferably wear a hat that covers ears as well The winter proves to be particularly rude towards the skin. Ensure that you moisturize your skin adequately everyday, before stepping out into the cold Wear sun block to protect yourself from the sun, the UV rays of the sun rays are as harmful even in winters Wash your hands regularly to protect yourself and your family from possible flu viruses If possible, use a humidifier. It helps in controlling the level of humidity indoors. This will help reduce a feeling of dryness during the winters The juices of the herbs like holy basil, and cassia applied topically to the skin are an effective protection against the rude and dry winters
