Message from President, ISQ

Invitation message President – Indian Society for Quality

Indian Society for Quality takes pleasure in announcing its annual conference for 2022 to be held on December 9 and 10, 2022 in Chennai. After two years of inability to meet in person due to COVID-19 pandemic it is planned to hold the conference this year with much larger physical participation. There would be an opportunity to join virtually too. Participants are encouraged to attend physically to renew contacts, network and learn from each other. Those who can not attend personally will have an opportunity to join virtually.

The theme of the conference is “Quality & digitalization for Sustainability & Innovation” Refer to the narration of theme to understand our intent and the rationale behind it.

While the quality of Indian products and services have improved over the last 20 years or so, the organizations in the developed world seem to have improved even more, resulting in our inability to compete against the best. Even to compete at the current level of competition there is a business need for digitalization, sustainability and innovation.

This is in the context of slow rate of value-added growths of exports from India and the advancement of information and communication technologies (ICT) that provides an opportunity to substantially raise the level of quality and productivity of organizations to become more competitive. In addition, we need to use quality methodologies for sustainable development so essential for prosperity of all living beings in the Planet Earth. All of this requires top management’s visible leadership.

Many eminent speakers are speaking at the conference and ISQ award winners will also speak.

It is expected to be a value adding experience for the participants, speakers, and the organizers. Professionals who practice quality in their respective function eagerly look forward to such annual conference of ISQ.

I invite executives from top management and professionals from all discipline as each one is responsible for quality in their outcomes to participate in the ISQ Conference 2022 to learn and share their rich experience thereby contributing to the quality of products and services being offered by Indian entities.

Janak Mehta
President – ISQ.
