Our PPIC Head, Our Colleague, Our Friend
22 January 2021 – 7 August 2023
There are days a company remembers not because of a milestone or a target achieved, but because of a loss that changes everything. 7th August 2023 is one such day for us — the day we lost Sandeep Chaubey Ji.
A Man Who Held the Line
Chaubey Ji joined us on 22nd January 2021 and took on the responsibility of heading our PPIC (Production Planning and Inventory Control) department — a role that demands precision, patience, and an unshakeable sense of responsibility. Every day, countless decisions pass through PPIC that keep a factory running smoothly: what gets produced, when, in what quantity, and how the material flows to make it all possible. Chaubey Ji carried that responsibility with a quiet dedication that the whole factory came to rely on.
He wasn’t just punching in and out. He was the kind of employee who showed up — every single day, in every sense of the word.
The Day We Lost Him
On 7th August 2023, like any other working day, Chaubey Ji set out for the factory. The staff car that would normally have picked him up didn’t arrive that day — the driver was off. Instead of waiting or turning back, he did what he always did: he found a way to get to work. He set out on his bike.
He never made it.
He met with an accident on the road that day and lost his life — on his way to the very factory he had served so faithfully for over two and a half years.
It is impossible to write that sentence without pausing. A day that should have been ordinary became the darkest day in our company’s history.
Why We Still Remember Him
Loyalty is a word that gets used often and means little most of the time. Chaubey Ji gave it real meaning. He was the kind of colleague who didn’t need to be asked twice, who showed up even when the circumstances made it harder, who took ownership of his department and his people.
Since that day, not one of us who worked with him has stopped thinking about him from time to time — a decision that reminds someone of how he used to plan things, a quiet moment in the PPIC office, an anniversary that passes on the calendar. He is remembered not out of obligation, but because he genuinely earned that place in our memory.
A Tribute, Not a Farewell
We don’t write this to say goodbye — that already happened, far too soon and far too suddenly. We write this because some people deserve to be spoken of, remembered out loud, and not just carried silently.
To Sandeep Chaubey Ji: thank you for your years of dedication, for the trust you built, and for the example you set of what it means to be truly committed to one’s work and one’s team. You are missed more than words can capture, and you remain, and always will remain, a part of this company’s story.
Rest in peace, Chaubey Ji. You will not be forgotten.
