LIVE example of company where “Heart Count” matter more than “Head Count” by shear genius of Shri Mondkar. Long time back as student of management read book “Maverick” of Ricardo Semler your blog bring out we have Mavericks very much here in Thane. Would love to meet and visit such “Enlightened & Empowered Shop Floor”

So very true Vivek. Culture is a reflection of the beliefs of the founders and leaders whether consciously articulated or evolved through rituals and practices. And that is why leaders have to role model the values of the company.

It was indeed wonderful to read how Mr. Mondkar built his firm – trust, distribution of wealth created and respect for his employees. It is a powerful story for anyone starting their business to read and practice. Thank you for the share, Mr. Patwardhan!

Sir, What strikes me most is the five matriculate workers running the most profitable factory in the stable. That’s not a feel-good story — it’s what becomes possible when accountability and information flow to the people doing the actual work.

The ‘People, Processes, Results’ sequence is deceptively radical. Most organisations invert it under pressure. That HyTech has never made a loss in 48 years suggests the sequence isn’t idealism — it’s the more durable path.

The reformation over retribution approach also stays with me. Asking *why* rather than *how* when something goes wrong requires a leader who has genuinely resolved whether people are fundamentally trustworthy. Most never fully do.

Thank you sir for profiling leaders who make us recalibrate what’s possible.

The entrepreneur, Hemant Mondale, is essentially a human being par excellence! Everything stems from there. It would be a dream to work in such an organisation and for such a man! His manufacturing and business philosophy is Japanese.
You have captured the story so well. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely write-up VSP…it is interesting to observe a pattern in such powerful stories. More often than not the founder comes from a “been there done it” hands-on experience. This is a key differentiator as the elements of coaching and mentoring are seen embedded in the risk taking survival instinct and business acumen of the promoter. Reformation over retribution requires trust which is a less seen in proprietary systems. The spirit of Act Like an Owner is visibly institutionalised.

Truly idealistic! Few have the courage to be so
