Dear Members,
The last quarter of 2025-26 was filled with a number of programs and also the last flagship event of GEO. We received a large number of entries for our 4th GEO Excellence Awards, across four categories. We thank our esteemed jury members for their valuable time and contribution, and selecting the worthy winners. The Awards nights was graced by the presence of our Chief Guest, Capt. Raghu Raman. The highlight of the event was that Gujarat Employers Organisation honored its three stalwarts, namely Mr. S.K. Raizada, Mr. Yash Pawar and Mr. Sanjay Suthar, for their invaluable contribution to the organisation and their pioneer role in shaping the growth of GEO over the several decades. We remain truly grateful for their unwavering commitment and affection for the organisation.
The month of February also saw the members of GEO and GENX visit the factory of JSW MG Motor India PVT. Ltd., organized by GEO. It was a very well attended program and the participants had a great learning experience.
Keeping in mind the importance of the New Labour Codes, GEO organised a special session for all the owners and promoters of your organisation as well as GENX members. We thank our GB member, and Sr. Vice President (HR & IR), Shri Bhupinderji for agreeing to conduct this session for our member’s benefit.
This last month had seen various uncertainties and supply-chain issues due to the West Asia crisis. The situation has been handled quite well by our government, but the industry is facing huge challenges. The MSME sector is especially affected, due to rising costs, and unavailability of raw materials. Many small units as compelled to close down. Like other industry bodies, GEO is also trying to help its members by giving required guidance, policy advocacy to the government and labour-related matters, where need arises.
Gujarat Employers Organisation has lined up several programs and events for the coming new year of 2026-27. With the new team of office-bearers, under the leadership of Mr. Sunil Shah, taking over, I am sure the members must be excitedly looking forward to the leadership going forward. I wish them all the best and am confident that the organisation will grow to greater heights.
With Regards,
Niraj Patel
