Vending has been chosen as the theme for this issue of CHANGE as we wanted our readers to know more about this new business of Godrej. In India, Vending Machines (VMs) have only recently made inroads to our office & retail sector. These sectors have correctly sensed the need for creating opportunities for self-service themselves, as only then they are more likely to be happier with the services consumed. Interactive encounters at VMs help create a sense of belonging.
Anil Verma Head Edit Board
Godrej Vending business has a Joint Venture partner in Veromatic International B.V., the Netherlands. Rajiv gives us an overview of the business opportunities in the global and Indian market. Sorab Parekh tells us about the Vending story so far at Godrej and similarly all other contributors share with us their views about different aspects of the business. The role and contribution of the J.V. for our business is well articulated in the features by Manish. An indepth interview of Mr. Kees Verhoef, the founder of Veromatic makes an interesting read with many lessons for us.

Feroz Katila and Anuj Sahu have written a fascinating piece on self-service and its modern day convenience. Vrunda, our Archivist rounds up the coverage on Vending by tracing its history. And lastly, Parampal lays down “rules” for the behaviour at Vending Machine so that the experience is rewarding. In our Home Base section, we have interesting write-ups on Godrej Appliances launching two new products from our Eon range-Front Loading Washing Machine and Game LCD TV. These launches showcase the outcomes of our newly adopted philosophy of ‘Designed By Curiosity’.

GSS has launched India’s first Wireless Surveillance System in Hubli and Dharwad which has received much praise from the law reinforcement agencies. Our Aerospace business has for the first time in India indigenously developed PYLON system which measures the radar cross-section signature of aircrafts. All these stories showcase the change happening at Godrej. Godrej Material Handling was recently applauded for the 20 years long strong effort in building and sustaining strong relationship with United Breweries. Latika Khosla tells us how colours help us build a brand.
