By fostering collaboration, Samagam aims to drive business growth in an increasingly dynamic industrial landscape.
Addressing Industry Transformations
With India’s industrial sectors undergoing rapid transformation – driven by rising demand, technological advancements, sustainability goals, and evolving regulations – Samagam provides a valuable platform for stakeholders to exchange insights and explore solutions to navigate these changes effectively.
Ahmedabad Chosen for the Inaugural Edition
Ahmedabad was strategically chosen for the launch event because it is a hub for beauty and personal care manufacturing. It also has a strong presence of D2C brands and a robust contract manufacturing ecosystem. This ecosystem serves both domestic and international markets.
“As markets evolve rapidly, the need for innovation and collaboration has never been greater,” said Vishal Sharma, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Godrej Industries (Chemicals).
Sharma added, “With our legacy of expertise and innovation, we are proud to launch Samagam—not just as a business initiative but as a collaborative platform that brings stakeholders together to shape the future with sustainable and forward-thinking solutions”.
Strengthening Presence in Gujarat
Godrej Industries (Chemicals) has had a strong presence in Gujarat since 1996. Its Valia facility plays a key role in the state’s industrial ecosystem. In 2024, the company expanded further by acquiring the ethoxylation unit II of Shree Vallabh Chemicals in Kheda. This acquisition enhanced its production capabilities.
The company is committed to sustainability. It focuses on innovation and industry-specific solutions. It continues to support Gujarat’s thriving industrial base. This makes Ahmedabad an ideal location for Samagam’s launch.
Nationwide Expansion of Samagam
Following the Ahmedabad event, Samagam will extend to other key industrial hubs, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Kolkata. As per the press release, the strategic expansion aims to ensure broader participation and deeper industry engagement across multiple sectors.
