Bridging Classroom to Industry: Shetkari Shikshan Sanstha's College of Management Studies and Commerce Visits Zara Globe Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (MELIKA)

Khopoli, Maharashtra — December 16, 2025

In a step towards experiential learning, students of the Department of Management from Shetkari Shikshan Sanstha's College of Management Studies and Commerce recently visited Zara Globe Solutions Pvt. Ltd., the manufacturer of the MELIKA range of industrial coatings and construction chemicals, at its facility in Khopoli, Maharashtra. The visit brought together students specialising in Operations, Business Administration, HR, Marketing, and Finance for a first-hand look at how management theory translates into real-world industrial practice.

A Management Student's Lens on a Manufacturing Business

Unlike a typical technical plant tour, this visit was designed with management students in mind — connecting what they study in the classroom to how a mid-sized manufacturing enterprise actually runs day to day. Students got the opportunity to observe and discuss:

• Operations Management: How raw materials move through production, how quality and output are planned, and the coordination required to keep manufacturing timelines on track.
• Marketing & Brand Building: How MELIKA positions its industrial and construction chemical products, runs multi-channel campaigns, and builds brand presence both online and offline.
• Human Resources: How a growing manufacturing company structures its teams, hires talent, and manages people across production, sales, and support functions.
• Finance & Business Strategy: How a company balances production costs, marketing investment, and growth planning in a competitive B2B market.

This cross-functional exposure gave students a practical understanding of how the departments they study in isolation — HR, Marketing, Operations, Finance — actually work together inside a real organisation.

Highlights of the Visit

• Welcome & Company Overview: The visit began with an introduction to Zara Globe's journey, its MELIKA product range, and its position in the industrial coatings and construction chemicals market.
• Facility Walkthrough: Students were taken through the manufacturing facility to observe the production process behind MELIKA's coating and repair solutions.
• Interactive Session: An open Q&A allowed students to interact with the Zara Globe team, asking questions on business operations, marketing strategy, and career opportunities in the manufacturing and B2B space.
• Vote of Thanks: The visit concluded with faculty and student representatives thanking the Zara Globe team for hosting the session and sharing insights into industrial business operations.
