Romil Jain, alumnus of Jaipuria Noida, leads war on plastic!

Jaipuria Institute of Management Noida fired the first shot in its war on plastic by holding a bag making competition with the event judged by Jaipuria Noida graduate Romil Jain, sponsor of the event and Director of Meenakshi International which has developed an oxo-biodegradable plastic product. At the heart of the plastic problem is the ever-present plastic bag – hence the student’s alternative bag-making contest held last month at Jaipuria Noida, an event backed by the National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN). Who better to judge the competition than a Jaipuria alumnus, a man whose company has developed a rapidly biodegradable plastic alternative? Romil Jain said he looked for creativity, innovation, long-term commitment to their creation and presentation when judging the students efforts.
Asked how he came up with the oxo-biodegradable plastic product, he said they found plastics were a major concern when it comes to products adversely affecting the planet and worked with Wells Plastics UK, to come up with a creative alternative.
They then presented it to the European industry, received a positive response and then looked at the potential in the Indian market for such creative solutions in the area of plastic. He then approached students, alumni and faculty at Jaipuria Institute of Management Noida, found the students were really enthusiastic and excited about bringing about a change in the way we look at plastics and the product has grown from there.
Asked about the inspiration behind the product, Romil, the first Jaipuria student to go for a student exchange to Finland, cited friends he met abroad, companies he worked with there, his parents and teachers – “So this product is the result of that student exchange program!”
The non-profit National Entrepreneurship Network was established in 2003 with a mission to create and support high-growth entrepreneurs, driving job creation and economic growth in India.
NEN has more than 70,000 members in 30 cities and gives support to start-ups and early-stage entrepreneurs through entrepreneurship education, access to mentors and experts, fast-track access to incubation and funding and learning tools and materials. It is also partnered with more than 470 top-tier academic institutes in India to help them develop entrepreneurship ecosystems on campus, which develop and support new and future entrepreneurs.

Jaipuria Noida alumnus Romil Jain credits alma mater for his success

Jaipuria Institute of Management Noida alumnus Romil Jain, entrepreneur and Director of Meenakshi International, visited his alma mater as a guest lecturer, to speak on plastics and judge the initial action in the institute’s war on plastics. Jain, whose company has developed an oxo-biodegradable plastic product, said he found plastics were a major concern when it comes to products adversely affecting the planet and worked with Wells Plastics UK, to come up with a creative alternative. Plastic is a major industry in India, he said, pointing to the Plastindia 2012 Eighth International Exhibition and conference to be held in New Delhi February 1-6.
In India, he said, plastic consumption has increased from 7.5 million tonnes to 15 million tonnes and the country will become the third largest consumer of plastic in the future. Consumption of plastic has grown and the concerns center around the disposing of the product, he said, but the industry is coming up with new technology to help people and to use plastic in a better way without harming life on the planet and jeopardizing society.
Speaking on life out in the business world, Jain said it is a matter of survival of the fittest. Tough competition exists he told students and if practical knowledge is not present, a student will suffer as he will switch jobs and will not be able to learn anything.
He stressed the need for practical knowledge but also said self evaluation is important, noting everybody works individually and a person should have good knowledge and personality to succeed in the long run.
Jain said his working motto is “plan not for today but for tomorrow” and told the students to never be afraid of hurdles – every problem has a solution.
“Just believe in your own self and be positive,” he said.
As for his success, he gave credit to the Jaipuria Noida faculty, his colleagues, the college environment and awesome opportunities which he received. As the first student to go for an exchange program in Finland he thanked Dr. J.D Singh, Director of Jaipuria, for making the impossible possible.
