In December 2018, Advance Valves’ Mr Uma Shanker and L&T Valves’ Mr NV Venkatasubramanian were acknowledged for their outstanding and long-term contributions to the Indian valve industry when both gentlemen were inducted into the Hall of Fame recently established by the CII Valves and Actuation Division.
According to Mr Ramesh Babu (Chairman, CII Valves and Automation Association and MD, Velan Valves India), the Hall of Fame enables proper recognition to be given to individuals who have dedicated their careers to the valve industry in India. During the CII’s Valve Conference, he announced that “Mr Uma Shanker, Advance Valves founding chairman, and Mr NV Venkatasubramanian, former CE, L&T Valves, are to be inducted to the Hall of Fame in grateful appreciation of their many years of dedication to the valve industry of India.”
