Rated by Experts & widely acclaimed by thought leaders, India Leadership Conclave Annual Affair
is just not a leadership forum, it symbolizes the hopes & aspirations of the billion people reflected by
the speakers at the forum. This year's theme & style is an exception to the rule, it is more interactive
& analytical than a stereotype presentation. I hope to present to you something a new, fresh yet
different!
We are discussing on a theme Introspection! . We know how important it is to adapt to changes &
certainlyweareoutinbusinessifwecantperform!
Conceived, conceptualized & developed the brand India Leadership Conclave in the year 2009.It
has been a very challenging yet fruitful journey & the best part of the journey has been to think
differently contrary to the general perceptions of how conclave & award ceremonies are held. I have
been a rebel from the beginning & think 360 degree often to find newer approaches what the rest
find madness & off-beat. The challenges are impossible, yet to me, I have enjoyed every moment of
these last eight editions. This remarkable success of the brand India Leadership Conclave reaffirms
the relevancy and competitiveness of Brand India’s promise. In my opinion, ILC Power Brand
reflects global optimism that Brand India is beginning to address the authenticity of its promise. It
also reflects a desire for brand India to succeed. Whatever it takes! The Leader is born,proven,tested
&admiredbywho's&who'sofindia.Thankyouallformakingithappen.
While there are divergent views on the nature of progress india has achieved both in the country & in
the world, there is a definite unanimity, barring opposition parties natural opposition, in the fact
that India is on a firm foot, the road to progress are fully work in progress post india's historic 2014
elections that swept the country & brought Narendra Modi with a thumping majority. The pace of
reforms & agenda for change is clearly visible. For the first time post india's independence, there
seems to be hunger for bringing a change, change in lifestyle of a billion plus population. But it is not
that easy for sure. India has seen a deficit of governance and implementation. The truth is we need
tangible results after a prolonged reforms paralysis & the present dispensation under the leadership
of Modi knows that mere sloganeering will not work & it will lie in implementation and not just
grand announcements. That would be the best way to revive faith in democracy. Therefore the
th
theme of the much awaited leadership event in india's 9 Annual India Leadership Conclave &
Indian Affairs Business Leadership Awards 2018 is aptly titled as “Introspection” & the venue for
theeventisinMumbaionFriday,the6th ofJuly2018wheremorethan400businessleaders,social

ndia is a country with a glorious past . The rich cultural history still forms the basis of who we are as
a country today. The nutritional heritage that early Indians had from the rich grains we consumed,
our focus post independence as an agrarian economy ,our vast geographical lands coupled with a
large population are all an integral part of our DNA as a nation.
The future belongs to countries like ours , growing at an impeccable pace , encouraging innovation but
also focusing on sustainability. Global issues like environment protection and inclusive growth needs to
be focused on to ensure that the future is bright for generations to come.
The present: This is the age of information and technology advances can neither ignore our past or our
future. Soulfull plugs into this story by being a brand committed to tapping into the rich nutritional history
of India’s grains and focusing on the environment, the consumer, the larger population, the farmer
community and the economy.
Millets are known to be grown and consumed for over seven thousand years but in the last two decades
has been celebrated as a power grain which is a storehouse of nutrition . High in ﬁbre and calcium these
grains are also good for the environment with their low consumption of natural resources and are sturdy
grains that ensure staple farmer productivity.
Consumers in India are today globally exposed , nutrition focused individuals whose access to
information is accentuated due to the technological advances in our country. The consumer looks for
convenience in consumption but also focuses on being responsible citizens with a thrust on satisfaction
and nutrition at the micro family level and environmental and social responsibility at the macro level.
In this backdrop Kottaram Agro Foods was formed in 2011 to innovate and work with organisations like
ICRISAT ,IIMR and other agro research organisations . Kottaram launched Soulfull with the following
objectives .
1. Good for the farmer : Creating value at the grassroots level by taking the humble millet to a larger
stage . Ensuring that farmers are supported in their endeavours to successfully grow the grains best
suited for their lands and to encourage them to cultivate their traditional produce without compromising
on their proﬁtability.
2. Good for the environment : Millets consume less water , depleting the natural resources of the

land at a much slower pace than other agricultural produce and grows naturally in agricultural lands
without relying on environment harming pesticides and fertilizers.
3. Good for the economy : An increased awareness of the nutritional value of the millets ensures the
necessity of truly “Made In India” products . Products that backward integrate to fuel our economy at
every level.
4. Good for the consumer : In this age where consumers have an easy access to unhealthy but
convenient food options , consumers need to have convenient , nutritious and tasty food options that
are available at their fingertips to ensure that India eats healthy .
Kottaram Agrro Foods Pvt Ltd has created the following products under the brand name Soulfull that
gives consumers options to bring back millets into their homes. Innovation has been the backbone of
Soulfull’s products , backed by consumer research on tastes and ensuring a zero compromise on
nutrition or commitment to the farmers and environment. 15 products launched in seven years and still
innovating with these factors at the forefront .
Ragi Bites : Crunchy pillows of Ragi , filled with a dollop of cream available in four variants (chocolate,
vanilla, mango, strawberry) . This brings back Ragi or finger millets to the breakfast tables of our
youngest consumers. Ragi porridge traditionally fed to children because of its high Calcium and protein
content was disappearing from our households . Soulfull’s Ragi Bites innovated to make Ragi more
exciting in this game changing product that was launched in 2013.
Ragi Flakes : Crisp pure Ragi discs available in a natural and a mild fruity banana flavor.
Millet Muesli : Muesli fortified with the goodness of millets in three flavours – Diet , Crunchy and Fruity .
Multigrain Loopies – The power of Jowar, Oats, Ragi, Wheat and rice is rings of chocolatey goodness.
Oat Millet Meal : A ready to cook meal in single serve pouches made from foxtail millet in four variations :
Veggie Delight, Pepper and Spice, Millet Masala and Hot & Sour.
Rago : Combining the goodness of Ragi and Oats in a diabetic friendly crunchy pillow.
Desi Muesli – For the first time ever Soulfull has launched a muesli that captures Indian flavours in two
exciting variations : Masala and Chatpatta.
Smoothix : Soulfull’s 2018 summer launch is a ready to drink all natural breakfast mix that is made from
12 grains and high on protein , fibre and essential nutrients.
The above products are a start of a journey. A journey where innovation and sustainability go hand in
hand . We strive to develop and as a category leader in developing millet breakfasts encourage all food
innovators to follow our mantra of nutrition and global responsibility before profit.

he method by which a drug is delivered can have a significant effect on its efficacy. Some drugs have an
optimum concentration range within which maximum benefit is derived, and concentrations above
or below this range can be toxic or produce no therapeutic benefit at all. On the other hand, the very
slow progress in the efficacy of the treatment of severe diseases, has suggested a growing need for a
multidisciplinary approach to the delivery of therapeutics to targets in tissues. From this, new ideas on
controlling the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, non-specific toxicity, immunogenicity, bio-recognition,
and efficacy of drugs were generated. These new strategies, often called Novel Drug Delivery Systems
(NDDS), are based on interdisciplinary approaches that combine polymer science, pharmaceutics, bio-conjugate
chemistry, and molecular biology. Dramatic changes have been introduced, with new technology and new
devices now on market.
In some cases traditional capsules and ointments have been replaced by osmotic pumps, wearable ambulatory
pumps, electrically assisted drug delivery and host of other delivery methods based on various polymer
technologies. In some cases the new drugs require new delivery systems because the traditional systems are
inefficient and ineffective. Some therapies may become very site specific and require very high concentrations
of drugs in selected sites of body, as more controlled drug delivery systems will be available very near
future. New drug delivery system development is largely based on promoting the therapeutic effects of
a drug and minimizing its toxic effects by increasing the amount and persistence of a drug in the vicinity of
target cell and reducing the drug exposure of non-target cells1,2,3&4.
Novel drug delivery systems can include those based on physical mechanisms and those based on biochemical
mechanisms. Physical mechanisms also referred as controlled drug delivery systems include osmosis, diffusion,
erosion, dissolution and electro transport. Biochemical mechanisms include monoclonal antibodies, gene
therapy, and vector systems, polymer drug adducts and liposomes. Therapeutic benefits of some new
drug delivery systems include optimization of duration of action of drug, decreasing dosage frequency,
controlling the site of release and maintaining constant drug levels12,13&14.
Among drug carriers one can name soluble polymers, micro particles made of insoluble or biodegradable natural
and synthetic polymers, microcapsules, cells, cell ghosts, lipoproteins, liposomes, and micelles. The carriers can
be made slowly degradable, stimuli-reactive (e.g., pH- or temperature-sensitive), and even targeted
(e.g., by conjugating them with specific antibodies against certain characteristic components of the area of
interest).
Targeting is the ability to direct the drug-loaded system to the site of interest. Two major mechanisms can be
distinguished for addressing the desired sites for drug release: (i) Passive and (ii) Active targeting. Drug
Delivery Carriers Colloidal drug carrier systems such as micellar solutions, vesicle and liquid crystal dispersions, as
well as nanoparticle dispersions consisting of small particles of 10–400 nm diameter show great promise as drug
delivery systems. When developing these formulations, the goal is to obtain systems with optimized

drug loading and release properties, long shelf-life and low toxicity. The incorporated drug participates in
the microstructure of the system, and may even influence it due to molecular interactions, especially if the drug
possesses amphiphilic and/or mesogenic properties19&20. Liposomes Tiny pouches made of lipids, or fat
molecules surrounding a water core widely used for clinical cancer treatment. Several different kinds of
liposomes are widely employed against infectious diseases and can deliver certain vaccines.
During cancer treatment they encapsulate drugs, shielding healthy cells from their toxicity, and prevent their
concentration in vulnerable tissues such as those of patient kidneys and liver. Liposomes can also reduce or
eliminate certain common side effects of cancer treatment such as nausea and hair loss. They are form of vesicles
that consist either of many, few or just one phospholipid bilayers. The polar character of liposomal core
enables polar drug molecules to be encapsulated. Amphiphilic and lipophilic molecules are solubilized
within phospholipid bilayer according to their affinity towards phospholipids.
Hydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic, polymeric networks capable of imbibing large amounts of water or
biological fluids. The networks are composed of photopolymers or copolymers, and are insoluble due to the
presence of chemical crosslinks (tie-points, junctions), or physical crosslinks, such as entanglements or
crystallites. Hydrogels exhibit a thermodynamic compatibility with water, which allows them to swell in aqueous
media. They are used to regulate drug release in reservoir-based, controlled release systems or as carriers in
swellable and swelling-controlled release devices. On the forefront of controlled drug delivery, hydrogels
as enviro-intelligent and stimuli-sensitive gel systems modulate release in response to pH, temperature,
ionic strength, electric field, or specific analyte concentration differences. In these systems, release can be
designed to occur within specific areas of the body (e.g., within a certain pH of the digestive tract) or also via
specific sites (adhesive or cell-receptor specific gels via tethered chains from the hydrogel surface). Hydrogels as
drug delivery systems can be very promising materials if combined with the technique of molecular imprinting.
Nanoparticles (including nanospheres and nanocapsules of size 10-200 nm) are in the solid state and are either
amorphous or crystalline. They are able to adsorb and/or encapsulate a drug, thus protecting it against chemical
and enzymatic degradation. In recent years, biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles have attracted
considerable attention as potential drug delivery devices in view of their applications in the controlled release of
drugs, in targeting particular organs / tissues, as carriers of DNA in gene therapy, and in their ability to deliver
proteins, peptides and genes through the peroral route.
Classification of nanomaterial’s , Nanotubes They are hollow cylinders made of carbon atoms. They can also be
filled and sealed, forming test tubes or potential drug delivery devices. Nano wires Glowing silica nano wire is
wrapped around a single strand of human hair. It looks delicate. It is about five times smaller than virus
applications for Nano wires include the early sensing of breast and ovarian malignancies. Nano cantilever. The
honey comb mesh behind this tiny carbon cantilever is surface of fly’s eye. Cantilevers are beams anchored at only
one end. In Nano world, they function as sensors ideal for detecting the presence of extremely small molecules in
biological fluids.
Nanoshells are hollow silica spheres covered with gold. Scientists can attach antibodies to their surfaces,
enabling the shells to target certain shells such as cancer cells. Nano shells one day also are filled with
drug containing polymers. Quantum dots Quantum dots are miniscule semiconductor particles that can serve as
sign posts of certain types of cells or molecules in the body. They can do this because they emit different
wavelengths of radiations depending upon the type of cadmium used in their cores. Cadmium sulfide for ultra
violet to blue, cadmium selinide for most of the visible spectrum and cadmium telluride for far – infra red and near
infra-red. Nano pores Nano pores have cancer research and treatment applications. Engineered into particles,
they are holes that are so tiny that DNA molecules can pass through them one strand at a time, allowing for highly

precise and efficient DNA sequencing.
By engineering Nano pores into surface of drug capsule that are only slightly larger than medicines
molecular structure, drug manufacturers can also use Nano pores to control rate of drug’s diffusion in body.
Gold Nanoparticles These nanoparticles, seen in transmission electron micrograph image, they have solid
core. Researchers at north western university are using gold particles to develop ultra-sensitive detection
systems for DNA and protein markers associated with many forms of cancer, including breast prostate cancer.
Bucky ball is common name for a molecule called buckminsterfullerene, which is made of 60 carbon
atoms formed in shape of hollow ball, discovered in 1985. Bucky balls and other fullerenes because of their
chemistry and their unusual hollow, cage like shape extremely stable and can withstand high temperatures.
Applications Bucky balls may see widespread use in future products and applications, from drug delivery
vehicles for cancer therapy to ultra-hard coating and military armor. Bucky ball – antibody combination delivers
antitumor drugs. Bucky balls to fight allergy. v Bucky balls as powerful antioxidant and also inhibitor of HIV.
Demerits v Bucky balls hurt cells. v Bucky balls have high potential to accumulate in living tissue. v Difficulty of
targeting drug delivery location24,25,26,27,28&29. Carbon nanotubes Carbon nanotubes can be modified to
circulate well within the body. Such modifications can be accomplished with covalent or non – covalent bonding.
Modifications can increase or decrease circulation time with in the body. Carbon nanotubes show no significant
toxicity when they have modified so as to be soluble in aqueous, body type fluids. They enter readily into the cells.
Cancer cells in tumors are larger than normal cells and also exhibit leakage. Large molecules which circulate
slowly can leak into and accumulate in cancer cells. Carbon nanotubes carrying active agents have been
demonstrated in animal studies to do this. Researchers have also used carbon tubes to deliver the precursors of
active drug, which they call a pro drug, eg : Cisplatin
Dendrimers are precisely defined, synthetic nanoparticles that are approximately 5–10 nm in diameter.
They are made up of layers of polymer surrounding a control core. The dendrimers surface contains many
different sites to which drugs may be attach and also attachment sites for materials such as PEG which can be
used to modified the way of dendrimer which interacts with body. PEG can be attached to dendrimer to
‘disguise’ it and prevent the body’s defense mechanism for detecting it, there by slowing the process of break
down. This fascinating particle holds significant promise for cancer treatment. Between capillary blood and
alveolar air (air-blood barrier). Transdermal drug delivery avoids problems such as gastrointestinal irritation,
metabolism, variations in delivery rates and interference due to the presence of food. It is also suitable for
unconscious patients. The technique is generally non-invasive and aesthetically acceptable, and can be used to
provide local delivery over several days. Limitations include slow penetration rates, lack of dosage flexibility and /
or precision, and a restriction to relatively low dosage drugs.
Parenteral routes (intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous) are very important. The only Nano systems
presently in the market (liposomes) are administered intravenously. Nano scale drug carriers have a great
potential for improving the delivery of drugs through nasal and sublingual routes, both of which avoid first-
pass metabolism; and for difficult-access ocular, brain and intra-articular cavities.

ajesh Exports Limited (REL) is the world’s leading and the only vertically integrated gold
company with presence in the entire gold value chain from mining to consumer retail.
Jasvantrai Mehta shifted to Bangalore from Rajkot in Gujarat in search of a Job, after working for several
years he set up a small jewellery ancillary business of his own wherein he used to supply ancillary items
to jewellers in Bangalore and other parts of south India. Brothers Rajesh Mehta and Prashant Mehta
joined their fathers business in the year 1985 and started learning the various aspects of jewellery
business. At that time the entire jewellery business in India was in the unorganised sector. Rajesh Mehta
and Prashant Mehta visualised a huge opportunity in organising the jewellery business in India and set
up a small but the first organised gold jewellery manufacturing facility in India in the year 1989. As an
initiator the challenges were huge but both the brothers were undeterred and put in tremendous hard
and innovative work to ensure the success of the organised gold jewellery manufacturing facility. Both
the founders decided to explore the export market with the newly manufactured products and due to
their consistency in quality and service the products were accepted in the international market.
Rajesh Exports was formed as a partnership firm in the year 1989. The demand for the products kept
growing in the international markets which prompted expansion of the manufacturing facility. The firm
went public as Rajesh Exports Limited in the year 1995 to raise funds for expanding the manufacturing
facility. REL consistently maintained it’s position as the largest exporter of gold jewellery from the
country and won several international and national awards for it’s sterling export performance. REL
continued it’s expansion and in the year 2001, REL set up the world’s largest jewellery manufacturing
facility at Bangalore.
REL setup a world class gold refinery in India in the year 2009and in the year 2014 REL started it’s own
retail brand in the name of SHUBH Jewellers and set up 81 retail jewellery stores in the state of
Karnataka. In the year 2015 REL acquired Valcambi, the world’s largest gold refinery at Switzerland by
overcoming global acquisition interest and bids.
Currently REL is a global corporation with operations ranging from gold mining, gold refining, gold
bullion wholesale, gold jewellery manufacturing, gold jewellery wholesale, export and gold jewellery
retail under it’s own retail brand. REL is the world’s only fully integrated gold jewellery Company from
mining till retailing. REL is also the world’s largest gold company wherein REL processes close to 1100
tons of gold jewellery per annum with consolidated revenues in excess of USD 35 billion per annum. REL
is one among the only seven Indian Companies listed in the global fortune 500 Companies.
