Last month, we presented you with an improved look and feel of our magazine Dyes & Chemical Market. In the second issue of the financial year 2017, we are focusing our energy to get new and improved content, new subscribers and new advertisers. We had a great time at the ChemSpec 2017 exhibition in Mumbai, India. Several companies visited our booth/stand and they loved the new avatar of the magazine. Many of them showed a greal deal of interest in our online Inventory Sharing Platform.

Events like ChemSpec help our advertisers to reach their target audience. We had several companies who expressed interest in our improved version for advertising and subscribed to it. Mr. Parimal Parikh has been in media publication business since last 35 years operating from Mumbai and ChemSpec event being in Mumbai helped me to connect with many leaders and members in the dyes, chemicals and pharmaceuticals raw materials industry among his circle. It was a great moment to meet all of you at our stall.

I would like to express my gratitude to our members for being a part of Dyes & Chemical Market magazine for past several years and more to come. We continue to look forward to help market our current and future advertisers to reach their target audience. We also want to assure our advertisers that your marketing efforts will bear fruits and assure our readers that you will get content value and knowledge from our magazine.

We have opened our online Inventory Sharing Platform not just for manufacturers and distributors but also for traders. All advertisers can now post their products on our online platform, where searching is at a click of a button with information regarding the product. As we are aware that the prices keep on changing on a daily, weekly, monthly and quaterly basis, we have kept the option to update them as per your convenience either manually or automated from your ERP system or through your staff or keep the prices and quantity hidden or zero. Advertisers and other online members of our Inventory Sharing Platform can post their products using an excel sheet with a click of a button.

We are also working to get you special reports on the different sectors of the industry like Dyes & Pigments, Cosmetics Industry, Adhesives Industry, Food and Nutrition Industry, Basic Chemicals, Catalyst and Solvents Industry and many more as we tie up with more research agencies in the time to come.

We hope that with the advent of GST in India being fully functional and implemented in the coming months will bring good cheer among people and companies and that our Inventory Sharing Platform will be standardized such that it becomes seamless to do business across the country and get more international attention. We are open for feedback on our Inventory Sharing Platform.

We look forward for your support and feedback in making our publication and online platform most efficient and fruitful to you in the time to come.
