When I founded BOTIL I had mixed a heady cocktail of all of the above with my aspiration to create a world-class manufacturing facility in India with both Export Promotion & Import Substitution goals.
Over the decades we have largely adhered to our well-nurtured CORORATE CREDO & I am delighted to note that the New Generation in operational saddle has steered our course in conformance with the same .

At the close of a tumultuous 2024, we step into the New Year with an ardent wish for the New Year to be as EXCEPTIONAL as Team Botil & its well nurtured network of Business Associates are. Here’s to another year of growth and collaboration.
Despite unprecedented multi-dimensional global disruptions in the supply chain, 2024 has been a year of GROWTH & MILESTONES for BOTIL, thanks largely to the unstinting efforts by Team BOTIL & its Business Associates under the dynamic stewardship of a Managing Director determined to take a huge LEAP of FAITH driven by her awesome trust in her Team’s capabilities.
Can 2025 replicate the successes of 2024 for BOTIL. I have every reason to believe it shall. And yet: There’s THE RUB:
-
As In a Football game of 90 minutes, so also in business, there is not enough time to correct an error in judgement. Avoid Snap Judgements & you will always have ample time to SCORE.
-
For the first time in living memory GEOPOLITICS is overwhelming GEO ECONOMICS. It is always Prudent to Plan for the WORST while working for the BEST.
With my Sermon on the Mount thus over , allow me one personal edict for both Team Botil & our valued associates :
WE ARE PROVERBIALLY GIVEN TO MAKING HIGHLY BRITTLE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS WHICH ARE BROKEN WITH COMPLETE IMPUNITY WITHIN WEEKS IF NOT DAYS OF THE NEW YEAR DAY. LET OUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTION FOR 2025 BE UNBREAKABLE WHERE YOUR PERSONAL ASPIRATIONS MEET THE CORPORATE GOALS.
Long-term relationships like ours are built on trust, respect, and shared values. Thank you for another wonderful year, and may 2025 bring even more shared joy and success!!
As an anonymous humourist once said :
“” Here’s to more deadlines, more deals, no“Reply All” disasters, and fewer coffee spills in the New Year””

PERMACRISIS
Our Commercial, Marketing, Planning & Control, Manufacturing, Finance & Accounts, QA & QC, IT, HR & all other supportive functions have shown “TRUE GRIT” in their "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE" mode. Last, but definitely not the least, worthy of deep appreciation are our overseas employees, Business Associates, Sales & Service Agents & their teams whose contribution to the SWIM against the tide has been admirable. All in all, FY 2022-23 has not been a bad year, though not a record year in Top & Bottom lines. While 2023 will still have its challenges, I look upon it as a year of great changes & greater opportunities.

Meaning “Extended Period of Instability, Insecurity, & Uncertainty “
How so very appropriate when after Two Years of a Pandemic shaping the Immediate Future, the respite was short-lived & overtaken by multi-faceted crises ranging from Commodity Price volatility, Oil price uncertainties, Unprecedented Climatical disruptions, Logistical nightmares, & most significantly, the Ukraine conflict & Geo-Politics in its aftermath.
For a Company such as ours, delivering high standards of Quality & Service in over 50 countries, the going has been tough. Our Team, as always, have given much more than their best to swim against the tide led by a resolute leader.
In order for us to turn crises & challenges into opportunities for strategizing our Growth it is also important for us to redefine our VISION to complement our Never say die Mission of “PERMATENACITY" (a good new word for Editors at Collins to consider as the Word of the Year 2023).
Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) is a framework for assessing risks to a company's operations related to large-scale, long-term environmental, social, and governance issues. It is becoming evident, if one were to scan best practices globally, that we need to incorporate ESG into our overarching RISK MANAGEMENT Plan. Being ahead of our times in many of the exhaustive ESG attributes, ESG integration through an early self-audit should not be as disruptive as one would normally believe. Indeed Risks & Opportunities often do intersect.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is as yet in a nascent, often fearfully skeptical, phase of its deployment as a tried & tested Technology to augment Quality, Productivity, & Customer Delight. No existing ERP system has so far been able to address a seamless integration & deployment of AI into a Company's operations. However, GENERATIVE AI has been around for a while & can easily be deployed to harvest cognitive attributes inherent in many in our Team, to shoot for New Heights in Product Development & in Preparing Non-Technical users for Technological orientation. Steps taken, howsoever tentative at present, are gratifyingly a start “devoutly to be wished.”
According to PLATTS, Commodity Prices globally when indexed to a 1990 Base of 100 had peaked at 280 in 2022 & is now at 210. Astute Buying practices have made a welcome entry in our Company, transcending so-called Price Negotiation to a notch higher application of mind to understand the supplier's cost make-up, with a close watch on optimal material-utilization.
It has been wonderful to see the fresh orientation in our R&D Team to design products with one eye on Customer/User delight & one on Internal Production Process capabilities. The transition from Trouble Shooting when in use to foreseeing & addressing the same before deployment has been phenomenal.
Armed with a Bouquet of 9 API Licenses, Augmented Techno-Commercial skills, & a well-drawn Road Map for Market Development; Product Development; & Logistics-Optimization, TEAM BOTIL is poised for Sustainable Growth, with the following GOAL-POSTS:
-
DIGITALIZATION: Completed through our CAD-CAM upgrades & self-engineered Safe & Secure transit system for CAD Drawings to get transmitted digitally to the Machine Shop. Effort is on for Digitalizing our Eco-System of Suppliers, Vendors, Agents & Business associates in over 50 countries.
-
GO GREEN: We have always been ahead of the curve in this segment & intend to intensify our efforts.
-
SKILLING: BOTIL has historically been the Training Centre for Technically skilled personnel, widely spread in the Industry in several countries, & the tradition shall continue with primary focus on new & innovative technologies.
As I sit down to write my welcome message for all distinguished visitors to our website, I am reminded of a most quotable quote from one of the Great Thinkers, Swami Vivekananda:
“NO PROBLEM IS INSOLUBLE, NO DEFEAT IS FINAL."He goes on to assure each one, caught in the role of a Christopher Columbus, sailing strange uncharted seas, that safety & success are assured if we steer the course with the compass of “DEDICATION & HARD WORK."
And that is exactly what TEAM BOTIL, of which I am unabashedly proud, has accomplished under the stewardship of a Dynamic Managing Director, through the past three years of PINCER MOVEMENTS in each battlefield, of Rising INPUT & Operating Costs, Exchange Rate Fluctuations, Geo-Political Dynamics of Trade & Economic Sanctions, & widespread Buyer-Preference for Price stability in a volatile & turbulent eco-system.

“IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE FUTURE, YOU MUST CHANGE WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN THE PRESENT" — Mark Twain
Most Companies older than two decades have hitherto relied on Tried & Tested Business Models of Success to extrapolate their strong track record to Predict a STABLE Future. And yet, as many case studies across Industries have demonstrated, the Future need not any longer look like the Past. Contexts change, Technologies Change at awesome speed; Data Analytics replace back-of-envelope numbers crunching, Geo-Politics impact Global aspirations; & most importantly, Customers’ Purchasing Models change with greater weightage to a Systems-driven Ecosystem. And with each such change, old rules no longer apply.
“STABILITY & NOT CHANGE" IS THE MOST DANGEROUS STATE TO BE IN: The message in a recent global survey on managing disruptions is truly reflected in irreversible market share erosions for names that at one time were seemingly unassailable.
We, at BOTIL, are well placed under the stewardship of a dynamic Managing Director, ably supported by a team of young & old professionals, to scale the inevitable incline of transforming the Company in all its operations to a systems-driven drum beat of managing disruptions. The Team's multi-pronged strategies transcend mere software/hardware investments & data churning to a more holistic Eco-System transformation, including, though not restricted to, reskilling, remodeling, & reorienting all stakeholders to participate meaningfully in the endeavor. I wish her & her capable team all success & assure all our Customers, Suppliers, Service Providers, & most importantly, our Employees that they may look forward to rewarding outcomes through this endeavor.
As Oscar Wilde once said, “I am tomorrow what I establish today, just as I am today what I established yesterday.”
H.L. Khushalani
Transitioning to an independent marketing consultant for 26 oil field equipment manufacturers, he later formed a joint venture with Baker Oil Tools ( A division of Baker Hughes Inc ) USA to manufacture drilling equipment in India, which began commercial production in 1988-89. This venture was rebranded as BOTIL Oil Tools India Pvt. Ltd. in 1995 following divestment of Baker.
