Mr. Abhishek Sahi, Operating Head, HCIL

Dear Friends,

I am Abhishek Sahi from Honda Cars India Purchasing Operation.

I have Joined HCIL in 1999 and since then I am a part of this Organization.

Effective 1st April 2024, I have taken charge of Purchasing Operations.

It gives me extreme pleasure to interact with you through this edition of engage.

The incredible work done by Club in last 25 years has totally justified its aim of promoting team spirit and close-knit communication network within suppliers.

This forum was built on robust grounds of knowledge sharing and collaborative growth. It is an amazing experience to know how the club effectively operates through the self-sustaining model where suppliers are contributing their time and effort for the benefit of society. All the activities are regularly being managed by coordinators and closely monitored by all Executive team through quarterly meetings.

The core concept of the club is focused on skill development and engagement of our supplier associates for which we have specially developed trainings like Leadership Development, Financial awareness, and Shop floor continuous improvement.

The trainings like zero defect imparting best of class knowledge in area of Quality and helping our suppliers to make improvements on their respective shop floors.

Finance training strives to impart financial knowledge to middle management which helps in better execution and decision making from company bottom line point of view.

Keeping in mind about the need of human resources, Supplier club has initiated Leadership development training from last year. This training program has been applauded by everyone and great participation is being witnessed.

I am also overwhelmed to see huge number of participations in Kaizen and QC Competition. This innovative and creative thinking of the participants clearly shows how effectively they have adapted kaizen theory in their regular work.

I would like to request all Supplier Partners to take maximum advantage of these programs and send maximum number of associates from your respective companies to reap benefits of this wonderful club.

I am thankful to all Executive members and coordinators for their continuous effort and support towards supplier club activities.

I look forward to strong collaboration and mutual growth.

Lastly, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Watabe-san, whose unwavering support over the past 2.5 years has been instrumental in the club’s post-COVID growth. Your belief in and dedication to our activities have truly helped the club flourish year after year.

Best Regards,

Abhishek Sahi.
