Vivek Chinoy
President, IPMMI
It is a privilege to take on the responsibility of serving as President of IPMMI at a time when the packaging industry is undergoing remarkable transformation.
India today stands at an exciting intersection of manufacturing excellence, technology, innovation and global opportunity. For IPMMI, this creates both an opportunity and a responsibility: to become an even stronger platform for our members and a more influential voice for the Indian packaging machinery industry.
My vision is simple: Connect. Learn. Grow. Together.
We will focus on deeper member engagement, stronger industry collaboration, technology adoption, knowledge sharing and skill development. We will create more opportunities for meaningful interaction between machinery manufacturers, packaging converters, brand owners, institutions and technology partners.
Equally important is taking Indian packaging technology to the world. Our industry has tremendous engineering capability, entrepreneurial energy and innovation. IPMMI must help showcase these strengths globally and create opportunities for our members to collaborate, compete and grow beyond borders.
Our National Advisory Board, Managing Committee and members bring together an extraordinary depth of experience. I believe our greatest strength will come from combining this collective wisdom with the energy and ideas of the next generation.
IPMMI is not defined by a President or a committee. It is defined by its members.
I therefore invite every member to participate, contribute ideas, share knowledge and become an active part of this journey.
Together, let us build an IPMMI that creates opportunities for its members, strengthens our industry and makes Indian packaging technology increasingly respected across the world.
It is a privilege to assume the responsibility of Vice President of IPMMI. Having spent over two decades in the packaging industry, I have witnessed the remarkable growth and transformation of Indian packaging machinery manufacturers and their increasing contribution to global markets.
I am grateful for the trust placed in me and look forward to working closely with our President, Mr. Vivek Chinoy, the Managing Committee, and our members to further strengthen IPMMI as a vibrant platform for industry collaboration, learning, and growth.
The packaging industry is evolving rapidly through advancements in automation, digitalization, sustainability, and artificial intelligence. These changes present significant opportunities for Indian manufacturers to innovate, enhance competitiveness, and expand their global footprint.
Over the coming years, my focus will be on supporting initiatives that create greater value for our members, encourage skill development, promote technology adoption, strengthen industry-academia engagement, and enhance the visibility of Indian packaging machinery manufacturers worldwide.
Together, with the collective experience, expertise, and commitment of our members, I am confident that IPMMI will continue to play a meaningful role in advancing our industry and creating new opportunities for growth.
I look forward to this journey and to contributing to the continued success of IPMMI and its members.

Collaboration is the heart of innovation, and together we can address industry challenges such as sustainability and efficiency, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Working closely with government bodies, we advocate for progressive policies that strengthen our industry and enhance its global competitiveness. Above all, our efforts remain cantered on the end user—ensuring that every innovation serves their needs and expectations.
