Radhakrishnan (68), President of Vijay Wires and Filaments (VWF) Group of Companies, partner of Akshaya Nursing Home in Siddarthanagar and a resident of Siddarthanagar here, passed away this morning.
He leaves behind his wife, daughter, son-in-law and a host of relatives and friends. Last rites will be held tomorrow in Mysuru.
Late G Radhakrishnan served as Manager Industrial Engineering at the earstwhile Vikrant Tyres Ltd(now under the management of JK group)
A dynamic person with great enthusiasm and drive to do things right, he was a trained Industrial Engineer from the portals of the National Institute for Training Industrial Engineers, Bombay. He was responsible for establishing systems, procedures, methods required for the smooth running of a large scale multi process manufacturing Company in the automotive tyres manufacturing sector in Mysuru. His inter-personal skills were legendary and had the knack of getting the best out of the most recalcitrant surly employee; His technique was simple and straightforward, take him on board and make him a stake holder in the success of his myriad projects in the then fledgling Vikrant Tyres Ltd. Production planning and inventory control was one department where he excelled by coordinating with the manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, and finance department and he could adroitly do the tight rope walk to keep things going not withstanding the severe finance crunch. All his achievements were without the use of computers. It was my good fortune to have trained under his able guidance during my stint at Vikrant Tyres. May his Soul Rest in Peace.
