MOU SIGNING CEREMONyREPL and Jianyi Group: Collaboration for BIM and Big Data Services

“Start early and begin raising the bar throughout the day.”

Each day provides equal opportunities to everyone. But those who capitalise on it, become the real achievers. They also have the will to rise above the opportunity missed and without delay grab the next opportunity that comes their way – for success belongs to the early starters. REPL being an ardent believer of this thought, has plethora of opportunities in store for you and the onus lies on you to take these opportunities in your stride!

While we work diligently for our clients, it is also imperative that we work in unison as a strong team and stand for one another not just in times of need but as a norm. That is the core spirit of teamwork. It is in times of tough business environment that the true strength of a team is tested. With the correct mindset, we can overcome whatever comes our way and can make way through it. You always create

opportunities, they don’t just happen. Usually before any project goes onboard, we improvise and brainstorm for ideas and find out different ways to go forward with the execution. This collaborative effort has created benchmarks for REPL.

I would like to share an important recent development. We have signed an MoU with Chinese company JianYi Group for BIM & Big Data Services. JiyanYi Group (www.chinabim.com) is a conglomerate engaged in areas covering s&t venture capital investment, smart city, BIM cloud platform, real estate, etc. This association will bring new opportunities for us in terms of latest technological applications in real estate and infrastructure.

Sincerely,

Pradeep Misra Chairman & Managing Director, REPL

Me & MyselfI did my early schooling at Dehradun, Allahabad and Lucknow. I completed my Masters in Economics. Legal and Marketing subjects always attracted me hence I completed my Bachelor of Laws and Masters in Business Administration. I belong to Lucknow but my professional career made me to move out of Lucknow and I started my career with the automobile sector and subsequently moved to reputed engineering, consumer durables, consumer electronics and real estate companies. I travelled extensively within India as well as overseas which helped me to build my skills of observation and correlation. Throughout the course of my career, I have always been extremely dedicated and taken my work very seriously. It was through this intense focus that I was able to master my craft and figure out what I was really good at.

My REPL Journey When the offer for REPL, came I was working with a real estate company. The challenge was to start a new vertical of strategic marketing for real estate. Resources were limited and challenges were big. I had full faith in the leadership and the team. It’s been an incredible adventure and a wonderful experience, and I don’t regret a single moment in this journey. I can only be grateful and look forward to continually evolve, learn and grow with the organisation.

My Vision for OrganisationThe divisional team is disciplined, determined and dedicated, and each team member contributes to achieve set targets and goals. With new projects lined up, I definitely feel the growth of division is imminent.

I would like to see REPL, in the next few years to be the most trusted and respected professional service brand recognised by our clients and prospective customers worldwide for delivering excellence and providing world-class solutions.

My FamilyI belong to Lucknow and my better-half is from Delhi. My son is an engineer from BITS Mesra and MBA from IIFT, New Delhi. My daughter is a B.Tech. from DCE and is pursuing her MBA from IIM (Kolkata). I can say, I am blessed with a wonderful family.

My Memorable EventsLife is a roller coaster peppered with so many unforgettable incidents, moments, landmarks and events that naming one shall be too difficult.

Interesting Facts about MeI am transparent and I do my very best to share information with my team that they are supposed to know. My team also reciprocates in the same way. On personal front, I will just say that life is a journey full of interesting anecdotes and there are so many of these and we keep sharing these once in a while.

ADVENTURE AT WORK!It was the month of February in 1989, when I had completed 21 days working with RITES and was made its new DGM only five days back. I was also appointed the Site In-Charge for a `25 crore worth Rail Transportation Project for Tenughat Thermal Power Project being built by Tenughat Vidyut Nigam Limited in the erstwhile state of Bihar, now in Jharkhand. It was a prestigious project which involved verifying the proposed alignment in DPR, its actual site survey, providing inputs to design office and quality assurance of major earth work, minor/major bridges, etc.

It was my first visit to the area, and though known to be trouble prone, the scenic beauty of the dense Sal forests, hillocks and meandering rivulets awed me.

My survey team and I decided to go for a reconnaissance survey of the proposed alignment, covering about five kms. of the approximate 28 kms. As we walked, after leaving our vehicle about 500 mts. away, a group of 12-14 people, armed with lathis and spears, appeared suddenly from nowhere. It was about 2:30 in the afternoon and we were stunned as the nearest village was about 3-4 kilometres away. I had a small five member team among whom, there was one new junior engineer from South India, who hardly communicated in Hindi.

After travelling for about 200 mts., the group was

joined by few more people, intimidating and ordering us to follow them. Left with no choice, I asked my team to keep their cool and not to feel afraid, though I was equally terrified. I was also ridiculed by the mob when they kept saying, “Bada angrej aya hai”.

Unaffected, I started talking to them to understand their motive. They made us walk for about 5-6 kms. to their tribal village, affected by poverty and unemployment. Since we were very thirsty, I asked them to offer us some water before we started talking. Even though the people were very abusive, I kept my control and confidence. One of the junior engineers almost fainted thinking we all would be killed. Seeing his condition, I reasoned with the group to set him free. It was lucky for us that they considered and I understood the mob could be won over. I realised that these people wanted employment for their six boys. To this, I negotiated it to three boys and the whole episode had a happy ending. As it was already dark, they also escorted us to the main road.

What I learnt that day, “It is not easy to be a leader and leadership is not a copy book exercise and every situation has different solutions.”

MIVAN CONSTRUCTION SySTEM Globalisation has also precipitated many innovations, one being, “aluminium framework systems” (MIVAN System), which is used for mass housing construction. This system of aluminium framework is a flat, durable, cost-effective and also produces quality work.

Uses of Mivan Framework• 3S system of construction - speed strength and

safety• Column and beam construction are eliminated • Walb and sales are cast in one operation • Specially designed, easy to handle, light weight

pre-engineered aluminium forms• Fitting and erecting the portion of shuttering

Advantages• Minor framework require relatively less labour

• Increased durability and higher seismic-resistant

• Less number of joints and reduced leakage

• Smooth finishing of walls and slabs

• Uniform quality of construction

• Faster completion and negligible maintenance

Limitation• Finishing lines are seen on the concrete surface

• Due to box-type construction, contraction cracks

are likely to appear

• Heat of hydration are high due to shear walls

• It is rigid in design. Once paced, any alteration

becomes tough later

Efficiency at Workplace: In the practical work environment, sometimes, chasing perfection becomes illusory and results in wastage of resources and time. It becomes important to keep a time limit and work accordingly with the available piece of information. That is the way one can focus on productivity and move onto the next assignment.
