Sharing his thoughts upon receiving the award, Shri Deepak C Mehta reflected on the past accomplishments and expressed his ambitions for the future of India’s chemical industry. In an inspiring and personal message, he said:

“The Indian chemical manufacturing sector is poised for tremendous growth, and Deepak Group will continue to work on Responsible Chemistry for sustainable prosperity. I have always believed that Ethics, Aesthetics, and Economics all go hand in hand. This has been my guiding principle—ensuring that as we grow, we do so responsibly I have faith in the cradle-to-cradle approach—where we see waste not as an endpoint but as an opportunity for regeneration. If you create a surplus, the market will take care of them. So, if you dream of doing something – make it world-scale & world style. As we make in India – we also Make it for India and the World. “
