… by Mr Ravi Guturi, Director, Bondada E&E Bharat’s industrial transformation is being powered not only by manufacturing scale and infrastructure expansion, but by something less visible and equally critical: measurement integrity. From renewable energy systems to smart urban infrastructure and advanced lighting solutions, performance claims must be validated through reliable, standardised testing. In this ecosystem, NABL accreditation plays a defining role. For industrial testing laboratories in Bharat, particularly those serving high-growth sectors like lighting, NABL accreditation represents more than compliance. It reflects technical competence, global alignment, and long-term credibility. As the country strengthens its quality infrastructure and export ambitions,…

… by Gaurav Singal, CEO, Eastman IMPEX In the world of modern construction, durability, precision, and cost efficiency define the success of a project.

Ashok Kadsur, Co-Founder, Melento (formerly SignDesk), in conversation with Efficient Manufacturing Magazine Q. Why do fragmented workflows and manual approvals remain a major bottleneck in manufacturing, despite years of digital transformation? Most digital transformation digitises forms, not decisions. Manufacturing still runs on siloed systems, email chains, and human checkpoints that don’t talk to each other. The workflow is digital, but the intelligence isn’t. Fragmentation persists because systems automate steps, not outcomes. Until decisions become contextual, connected, and accountable across plants and partners, manual approvals will continue to throttle operational speed. Q. How does Melento’s collaborative intelligence model balance AI-driven speed…
