‘War on Wastage’
“Circumstances can be tough… but they cannot stop you from doing what you have underneath… and ultimately ‘what you do’, defines you. Achieving your dream goal is nothing less than mastering the magic trick. ‘The Dark Knight’ fameChristopher Nolan unleashes the act in three parts. The first part is called ‘The Pledge’. It shows you something ordinary; asks you to inspect it, to see if it is indeed real, unaltered or normal. But of course… it probably isn’t. The second act is called ‘The Turn’. That takes the ordinary to do something extraordinary. Now you’re looking for the secret… but you would not clap yet until you get to see the third… the hardest part, the part we call ‘The Prestige’.” Having started her food business from merely 300 to establishing a food business empire of ₹800cr and still counting, Rajni Bector, CMD-Cremica Group of Companies, one of the most successful women entrepreneurs of India mastered it all – The Pledge, The Turn and The Prestige.
Established three decades ago, Cremica Group including Cremica Frozen Foods, EBI Foods, Mrs Bector’s Desserts and Cremica Agro India, has emerged as a leading food brand having a pool of reputed customers such as McDonalds, ITC, Pizza Hut, Barista, Taj Hotels and Cadbury. “The journey has been very good, but the secret of the success lies in the honest hard work in the form of cleanliness & hygiene that we pour in our food products. We are very conscious of cleanliness and food hygiene.
“Latest equipment and tools have been installed wherever possible, across all our premises. Having said that, let me clarify… cleanliness is not only about the area but a ‘clean premise’ stands for the entire system – clean machines, shop-floor and above all clean people that are working at the premise.
“This needs an all-encompassing training. We have in-house set up for cleaning. Thousands of staff work on a daily basis to ensure that cleanliness & hygiene standards and guidelines are being maintained across the premise. Regular training is provided at all levels to ensure healthy organisational development and awareness on the
essentiality of cleanliness & hygiene maintenance.
“In fact, we are creating a slogan in the factory – WOW: War on Wastage. With this message we have also planned to reduce current waste by 50% within the next one to two years. The waste is being reduced wherever possible. And, the premise is now in a process to attain zero discharge tag. Wastewater, post treatment are used in gardening and urinals.”
