For the first time in the nine years of the history of Super Shopfloor Awards, a fireside chat was hosted with none other than the esteemed Jury members. The panel of judges, who have been evaluating the nominations behind the scenes; this year, took centerstage and categorically disclosed what goes into deciding the best from the rest and how the platform of Super Shopfloor Awards has evolved in these nine years.
The insightful session kickstarted with Rahul Kamat, Editor – B2B Division, (Worldwide Media), Times of India Group, sharing some interesting facts on the nine editions of Super Shopfloor Awards. Throwing light on the facts, he said, “In the last nine years, we have received close to 18,000 nominations from the manufacturing sector. On an average, we have gone through 2,700 nomination forms and close to 360 companies were recognised during this duration.”
Steering the conversation further, Kamat asked the jury members to share their experiences evaluating these nominations and their key findings. Giving his opening remarks, Bireshwar Mitra, Former Executive Director, Sharda Motor Industries Ltd said, “It was a mammoth journey and not an easy one. Scrutinising each nomination as per the fixed parameters was a huge task for the jury. Over the years, numerous categories were included such as Manufacturing, Quality, HR, CSR, EHS, Supply chain and the latest entrant to the list is digital manufacturing. As a jury, we have done our tasks in a big way, but in future we will keep streamlining it and give our best to do justice with it.”
