It gives me immense pleasure to learn that India Operational Excellence Conference (IOPEX)
2018, is being held on 26 November 2018 at Hotel Le'Meridien, New Delhi. Operational
Excellence is the cultural transformation and technical enablement of business that aligns the
management of people, processes and assets with key metrics and strategic objectives. In present
era of volatile market and cut throat competition, Operational excellence is becoming a must for
global organisations to remain competitive & sustainable. Successful Operational Excellence
strategy pursues continuous improvements in process, capacity building, asset integrity
management, innovation & business architecture, helping organizations rise above disruptors
and thrive in the years ahead.
Themed “Reliability, Innovation, Excellence”, India Operational Excellence Conference 2018 will
bring together personnel from Operations, Asset management, HSE, Sustainability, Human
Capital, Operational Risk and Operational Excellence from leading organisations under one roof.
The IOPEX 2018 will comprise of case study / presentations from thought leaders, panel
discussions and technical sessions addressing a wide range of pertinent topics. The delegates,
participants shall be benefitted from all these deliberations as well as sharing of ideas, knowledge
in the conference
It would have been very enriching for myself to be present amongst all of you, listening and
sharing views on this very interesting and pertinent subject, however, due to some unavoidable
circumstances, it would not be possible for me to attend the Conference. My sincere apologies for
the same.
I, as Chairman of Conference Advisory Committee, welcome all the Delegates, Speakers, Session
Chairs and all Special Invitees to this IOPEX 2018 Conference and wish the Conference a grand
success with all your support and participation.

Dear Industry Colleagues,
A decade back in 2008, six of the world's top ten publically traded corporations by market
capitalisation were energy companies. with Exxon Mobil being the world's most valuable
company worth over USD 430 billion.
A decade later in 2018, times have changed with six of the world's top ten companies now being
technology companies. Whilst Exxon Mobil is still among the top at number 10, with a valuation of
USD 350b, tech majors like Apple, Amazon and Google are now worth over USD 800b !!
The above statistics was just one of the many examples highlighting that the world is witnessing
change and a dramatic reshuffling of the corporate world-order as further pace of change reaches
all-time highs.
The bottom line is that to survive, companies, teams, and the leaders within them must perform at
an entirely new level of efficiency. A new breed of managers who are able to marshal the latest
technologies towards the steep demand of their customers and their companies. Managers who
leverage real-time analytics, work automation, and collaborative work to get 10X more done with
existing resources, whilst borrowing from agile methodologies and figuring out how to scale these
processes across their large teams and across their companies. Managers who use these new
work practices to drive cultural change in the organization, inspiring teammates, and building
lasting competitive advantage for the on-demand era.
In a single phrase, these managers need to achieve a new level of “Operational Excellence” that we
believe is a crucial element of success in today's economy.
Brining together nearly 200 professionals from Operations, Asset management, HSE,
Sustainability, Human Capital, Risk and Operational Excellence from leading organizations under
one roof, I am sure the 1st edition of International Operational Excellence Conference 2018 will
foster the exchange of knowledge, ideas & technology on a range of topics whilst helping
managers & organisations mitigate risks that they face everyday in their drive towards process
efficiency and operational excellence.
I convey my best wishes to all the participants including the Speakers, Delegates, Exhibitors &
hope that you will find the conference both enjoyable and valuable whilst also enjoying the
architectural & cultural beauty of New Delhi.
