You have to remeber that all this development was done in mid 1980's.A research institute set up with UNDP help was publicising, at that time, that they have successfully repaired a tolling bell of a church and put it back in to operation!
Our success can be attributed to a team of young graduates who came to us with no baggage. They were willing to try any thing new. They were not afraid of failures as Management had realised that when you are working in high technolgy areas some failures have to be accepted.
The other factor responsible for our success was the working atmosphere in R&D. Whenever we met with a problem we used to call for a meeting of all people from various sections of R&D and the problem was thrown open for discussions. Welding engineers suggested solutions to chemical engineers and chemical engineers suggested solutions to manufacturing engeneers etc!. Some times we involved workers to suggest alternate methods of manufacturing. This approach helped us to think out of the box.
In the next blogs you can read the various pathbreaking developments we did in R&D.
