Dr. Oetker India’s Post

Managing a food manufacturing unit has never been more complex especially for companies with a global presence in over 50 countries. With dynamic supply chain pressures, increased focus on food waste, plastic and sustainability as well as escalating costs being in charge of the manufacturing units is no easy feat.  The annual Global Plant Manager’s meet, held in the German headquarters, this April focused on optimisng manufacturing excellence, driving strategies for International ambient production and common KPI’s besides charting out the vision for digitalisation on the shop floor. The Dr. Oetker India Kaharani plant, the 2nd largest ambient plant in the Dr. Oetker Food Division and touted as a best-in-class manufacturing unit by all visitors, was delighted to be ranked as #1 in Food Waste Management amongst all worldwide plants in the group, thanks to the conscious, consistent and sustained efforts of all team members. Many small initiatives end up making a big difference! Kudos to Jeninderjit Singh, Chief Operating Officer and the team.  #ReduceFoodWaste #SustainabilityInitiatives #ConsciousActions #GreenPlanet

#India has been in focus globally as a trade partner, investment destination and for the skilled work force. The German-Indian trade volume reached an incredible record of USD 33b in the last year! The 11th #IndiaDay, held in #Köln last month attracted a large audience curious about doing business in the subcontinent. Executives across industries including Dr. Oetker, Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen, REMONDIS Aqua , Rhenus Logistics, VisiConsult - X-ray Systems & Solutions GmbH and Bayer shared stories on their market entry, challenges and learnings. "German thoroughness combined with Indian improvisational talent," is the recipe of success according to Oliver Mirza, MD, Dr. Oetker India. After the acquisition of the Indian family-owned brand #FunFoods in 2008, the 130 year old Dr. Oetker company has flourished in India and today the Indian entity ranks 15 in the group's country ranking. It’s success is attributed to the clearly defined consumer segment, a product relevant to the target group, and a clear distribution and pricing strategy amongst others. This year’s India Day, reflected optimism along with a reassurance that this buoyant sentiment is sustainable.

Being part of an international organisation has many perks but also presents some interesting challenges and learnings. As part of celebrating Cultural Diversity this month, Oliver Mirza MD Dr. Oetker India was invited to be a part of the Leader’s Panel on Navigating Cross-Cultural Collaboration along with his colleagues, Alberto de Stasio, MD, cameo spa Italy and Inas Abdel Rahman MD, Tag El Melouk, Egypt Team members from across global offices logged in to hear the inspiring and thought provoking exchange that ranged from what is considered a ‘’normal coffee’’ in different cultures to determining the qualities such as empathy, active listening, curiosity and willingness to move out of one’s comfort zone to successfully lead in a cross-cultural environment. To wrap it all up was the conclusion that what it takes is the mindset to accept and understand different perspectives. The personal anecdotes and experiences shared made for an enriching talk! As Henry Ford said, ‘Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is progress, Working together is success!’ #InclusiveWork #CrossCultureCollaboration #InclusiveLeaders #CultureTalks #DiversityInclusion

The Global IT meet in the Bielefeld Headquarters brought together colleagues from across office locations, to discuss Security, AI, infrastructure besides challenges and opportunities in the roadmap towards digitalisation of the organisation. It was a super opportunity for the Dr. Oetker India colleagues to collaborate with other team members, exchange ideas and contribute to the exciting IT journey into the future. What makes it even better is to visit the sprawling and very beautiful campus in spring, try some local foods and even play a soccer match with colleagues! #AI #CyberSecurity #Digitalisation #Collaboration #CrossCulture #GlobalCompany #OneIT
