1. It is always a delight to pen down the editorial of the August issue as BLOOM was launched in this
month. This year BLOOM completes eleven years! BLOOM was envisioned with the objective of
disseminating information to enhance the connectedness amongst all employees in the diverse
businesses / functions and promote ‘Oneness’ & ‘Openness’ in the organisation. Today, even after so
many years, it is a matter of great pride that we are able to successfully publish BLOOM month-on-
month and in line with our vision. I'll take this opportunity to thank our Leaders for their valued
guidance and all of you who have sent us feedback and contributions. I extend my special gratitude to
the Regional HR Teams for their continuous support to bring us news across locations, without which we
wouldn't have been able to achieve our goal. It'll be interesting for our new readers to know that the
two Os in BLOOM, overlapping each other emphasizes the need for our Online connectedness towards
greater communication. While the double "O" merged together symbolises and reinforces the spirit of
collaboration and togetherness on one hand, it conveys a sense of continuity and dynamism on the
other. BLOOM shall continue to bring you news and information as always!

India crossed the historic milestone of 75 years of independence on 15th August 2022. Addressing the
nation on the 76th Independence Day, Hon’ble PM, Shri Narendra Modi said that India is the Mother of
democracy, and the world is looking at India with pride and anticipation. He urged all citizens to
embrace the 'Panch Pran’ and take up the responsibility of fulfilling all the dreams of the freedom
fighters by 2047, when the country celebrates 100 years of independence. Speaking of 'Panch Pran', the
first vow is for the country to move ahead with a big resolve and that big resolution is of a developed
India. We have to liberate ourselves from the slavery mind set which is visible in innumerable things
within and around us. This is our second Pran Shakti. The third Pran is that we should feel proud of our
heritage and legacy. The Fourth Pran is unity and solidarity. Amongst 130 million countrymen when
there is harmony and bonhomie, unity becomes its strongest virtue. "Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat" – is
one of the unifying initiatives to actuate the dream of the fourth Pran. Fifth Pran is the duty of the
citizens towards the nation. The Independence day celebrations and Balmer Lawrie's participation in the
Har Ghar Tiranga campaign will be covered in the September 2022 issue of BLOOM. As always, mail
