President Message

Built on 30+ Years of Experience. Growing on Trust.

When we started ICATA, the idea was simple: take 30+ years of experience in the tape and adhesive industry and turn it into something real a platform where manufacturers, traders, vendors, and converters could actually support each other and grow.

Six years later, I’m proud of how far we’ve come.

Today, ICATA is more than an association. It’s a working network. We’ve launched industry-wise member listings on our ICATA website so your company gets the recognition it deserves. We’ve started the ICATA Newsletter to keep everyone informed and connected. And this year, we’re taking ICATA to you — with city-wise member events across India to share knowledge, build relationships, and strengthen our presence on the ground.

We’re also stepping up where it counts. From EPR regulations on BOPP to the everyday challenges our industry faces, ICATA is now a collective voice that reaches the Government. Because one company can be ignored. An entire industry cannot.

Serving as President of this Association continues to be a privilege. The next phase for ICATA is about one thing: delivering more value to you. Whether that’s technical webinars, policy advocacy, export support, or new ways to collaborate we will keep listening, and we will keep acting.

ICATA was built on experience. It grows on trust. And it will succeed because of you.

Let’s keep building this, together.

President ICATA
