Assessment of Paper factory unit in Dharamsala by Mr. Pankaj and his wife.

During the workshop, I met with Mr. Pankaj who did the living wage calculation of the artisans of our producer organization.
He is one person who is always keeping me informed of the things happening around and which would help us grow...either in capacity building, availing resources, business growth.
I discussed about the recent workshop by Mr. Vip Kumar on business planning and told him how I would like for the producer organizations to look again into their business strategy and if possible make some changes. The workshop by Mr Vip Kumar was quite a revelation and it pushed me to think about the sustainability of all our producer organization.
Pankaj ji knows all the organizations very well and is always ready to help us to grow. When I told him that I need to do something with the groups and that my funds are restricted. Without a second thought, he agreed to provide service for free. His wife is a chartered accountant belonging to the corporate world....said she will look into their business strategy.
The group that we will assess is the paper factory unit in Dharamsala. I spoke with Tsering Phuntsok, the Manager who gladly agreed to invite them.
Thank you so much, Pankaj ji for all your help and guidance.
It means a lot!
