Mumbai, Aug 07, 2015 : India has been chosen to host the 46th International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) that has been organized by the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE). The Olympiad aims to educate and broaden the perspectives of the international intelligentsia on the socio-economic and cultural aspect of the host country. Keeping this objective in mind, the 285 member-delegation, consisting of students and professors from across the world as well as local organizers, recently visited the state-of-the-art manufacturing unit of the Godrej Locking Solutions and Systems factory in Vikhroli, Mumbai to underscore the technological progress that is being made in India.

The delegates were given an in-depth explanation into the ingenious processes involved in the manufacture of our products. We hope that the tour was insightful and informative.”

Commenting on the visit, Assistant Professor, Aniket Sule of HBCSE and Convener of the International Physics Olympiad 2015 said, “In our attempt to provide an understanding of the industrial prowess of India, we could think of no other company as impactful as Godrej. The delegates were captivated by the detail-oriented processes involved in the locks manufacturing factory. It is no wonder why this completely Indian company is the face of modern Mumbai and has a long standing reputation.
