How would you define “success” for someone in your chosen career?

Like we had been dreaming to establish our Indian brand against the foreign multinationals like waters, shimadzu and Agilent, we are happy to share we are successful after decades of struggle, now many customers in India are accepting our products rejecting others.

Sir, what do you consider the most important contribution of your academic experiences have made to Analytical Technologies Limited?  What was your role?

Answer:Academic qualifications help you achieve your goals much easily compared to the one who’s not qualified , but what’s important is the passion , dedication , commitment more than the qualifications and certificates. As fas as our company ATL is concerned all the requisites like academic and passion, dedication, commitment helped. My personal role was to find solutions to make India self-sufficient and to provide import substitutes in highly innovative Analytical and scientific technologies space through our companies and brands like ATL and Multiple Labs.

Sir sometimes it’s just not possible to get everything on your to-do list done. Tell me about a time your responsibilities got a little overwhelming. What did you do?

Answer: The most challenging project was the Lab setup project we did for BSTI ( Bangladesh Standards Testing Lab), owned by the Bangladesh government  where we set up standards testing labs for Food Safety, Water Testing, Chemicals Testing, Cement and bricks testing , and precision metals testing. This project made our teams more robust and forced to find solutions through innovation.
