I am very sorry to know the demise of my very good industry friend and source, Shri K V Shetty, Director, IP Rings, India Pistons and other companies of Amalgamations group on August 18, 2011. I convey my heart felt condolence to his family members and colleagues. I sincerely pray God for his Great Soul to rest in Peace.
As a business journalist, I have known Shri Shetty for the last 10 years. I have seen him always sporting smile and treating people with love and affection. He is a doyen and father figure of auto component industry. I have interviewed him as MD, IP Rings as well as ACMA national president.
He was the most active and dynamic ACMA president I have come across in my 30 years of career in business journalism. He was a highly resourceful person with a thorough knowledge of the industry. He was very articulate in communicating industry related issues to Government authorities and media. In his passing away, the Industry has lost a veteran and true friend.
During his life time, Shri Shetty has proudly seen the rapid growth of auto component industry and it was during his presidentship, exports crossed $ one Billion mark ( 2003-04). It was a significant milestone in the industry history. He has also seen the explosive growth of the industry in the south, especially Chennai emerging Detroit of South Asia.
I once again sincerely mourn his death.
