Unlike a reseller meet “Panchayat” aims to bring together few partners in a given location. The invitees are selected resellers around 10 numbers to a maximum of 20. WeP team spends a quality 3-4 hrs with the selected invitees over lunch or dinner and connects with them on latest products; information on the company, their concerns, offering support and value adds their business in terms of sales.

Ashok Dash, National Sales Head says, “Its an excellent way to connect with channel partners. In a smaller group the interactions are very effective with each participant. The time spent with the partners is very qualitative, which otherwise do not happen in bigger programmes. It helps WeP to be acquainted with the ground realities at the remotest places in the market, identify areas of improvement at the same time connecting with partners to do their bit for WeP’.

Suresh, CEO of Crest & Co., Chandigarh says, “It surely was an information led activity and we would request WeP to conduct such events often. This helps us in building relationship with WeP at the same time enhancing relationship with our secondary partners”.

George Thomas, of Xpertiz Services & Consultants, Kottayam says, “In my 14 years of association with WeP, I feel “WeP Panchayat” is one of best platforms created to connect with partners.

From July 2008, WeP has successfully conducted “139 Panchayat” in 121 Locations in India and is still going strong. WeP Panchayat is emerging to be a strong platform for WeP to introduce the new offerings like Retail and POS to the market place. The responses from the market place are very encouraging.

Speaking at the occasion, the CEO & MD, WeP Peripherals Ltd., Mr. Ram N Agarwal said, “Right from the word go, “Green” is the word that is key to all of WeP Peripheral’s initiatives, be it bringing out Green Consumable products, conforming to RoHS (Restrict the use of Hazardous Substance) or our CSR activities around e-waste management and hence the tie-up with Reva was apparent as another step towards the Green Cause from WeP”.

Mr. Sandeep Maini, Chairman of the Maini Group speaking on behalf of RECC said, “We are proud to partner with WeP on this initiative for the environment, both REVA & WeP are companies who are very environment conscious and take initiatives to ensure that we protect our environment.

“Mirambika School for the New Age” bags the Champion’s trophy at the
WeP Peripherals hosted
‘Green Dreamz 2008’

Bangalore, 31st January 2008: “Mirambika School for the New Age” won the Champion’s trophy at the one-day Inter-school competitive event on E-waste management – ‘GREEN DREAMZ 2008’, organised by WeP Peripherals, India’s leading IT Peripherals Company along with Saahas, a voluntary organisation working with issues related to solid waste.

With about 10 members from each school enrolled for it, there were around 150 school children along with teachers from leading schools in Bangalore who participated in the event.

The Green Dreamz 2008 on the theme of “E-waste Management” started with a Recycling Art competition wherein students were given a chance to create recycled art pieces from e-waste like CDs, batteries and floppies. Then they had the Thematic Treasure Hunt followed by Theme presentations where the teams were given 10 minutes each to present in any form, on “E-waste Management”. The teams had complete freedom to select the mode of presentation and this varied from a skit to a collage of various pictures to a song, play etc.

The winners for the above-mentioned competition were:

1. Mirambika School for the New Age, for Theme Presentation

2. St. Joseph Boys High School for Treasure Hunt

3. Baldwin’s Girls High School for Recycling Art Competition

WeP Peripherals has always supported the cause for e-waste management and was among the first Indian exporters to get RoHS certification that insists on environment friendliness in electronic equipment. WeP’s Green product range is all about reuse of consumables.

Mr. Ram N Agarwal, CEO & MD, WeP Peripherals Ltd, who was present at the occasion said, “We as a company are committed towards an eco-friendly, cost effective and satisfactory E-waste management system for Bangalore. Our green range of products are the first of its kind recycled electronic products. The overwhelming response from the students is one step towards the realization of our goal. It’s been WeP’s endeavor to raise awareness about safe disposal of e-waste and e - recycling and to make children eco consultants.”

In addition to such initiatives, WeP has been collecting e-waste by placing e- bins at key locations in Bangalore. E-waste collected is sent to the authorised recycler for safe disposal. We have around 150 collection centers in schools, colleges, offices, apartments and commercial establishments in Bangalore.

A recent study reveals that near 3.3 lakh tons of e-waste is generated annually in India, while an additional 0.5 lakh ton is illegally imported into the country. However, only 0.19 lakh tons of this is recycled in the country due to poor awareness and insufficient recycling infrastructure. Currently e-waste recycling remains concentrated in the informal sector, which due to poor processing technologies and very small capacities, contributes significantly to pollution and environmental degradation. It is estimated that e-waste generated in India will touch 4.7 lakh metric tons by 2011.

Mr. Henning, Consultant, e-Parisara, Mr. Andreas, Consultant, EMPA, Rohit Jayakaran & Rajesh, Radio Jockey, Fever 104 and Mr. Jayant Gundewar, CSO, WeP Peripherlas were the judges for the event. For both recycled art competition and theme presentations, the parameters considered were concept behind the design, creativity and the presentation.

About Green Dreamz 2008:

Green Dreamz started a week ago with a day’s visit for the students to India’s first authorized E-waste Recycling facility in Karnataka. Based on the visit, the students were then quizzed and contests were held on safe e-waste disposal in the schools for the entire week. For this the materials and prizes were sponsored by the organizers and were given away to the winners in each of the schools.

WeP Peripherals is organising this event in partnership with Saahas, a voluntary organisation working with issues related to solid waste. The WeP – Saahas partnership has been working towards creating awareness and setting up practical measures towards safe disposal of e-waste generated in households and offices.

The global market of High Speed Impact Printer is fast expanding with an estimated figure of around 40,000 printers per annum. Indian market size is currently 10% of the total figure at around 4000 printers per annum, which alone is expected to go up to 5000. Considering the given Global & Indian requirement the exports scenario looks bright.

“With huge IT investments in sectors like Banking, Insurance, Manufacturing, Transportation and Government in India, we expect to leverage on this growth with HQ 2100” says Ramdinsanga Saiawi, Marketing Manager, WeP Peripherals.

Some of the component used in WeP HQ 2100 is presently being imported; moving forward WeP aspires to manufacture them very soon in Mysore itself.

Human health and environmental risk has always been major concern through out the world over use of certain hazardous substances which form a larger chunk of electronics products. This has led European Union to enact the directive on use of RoHS. RoHS is an acronym for Restrict the use of Hazardous Substance, like Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent, Chromium, Polytrominated Biphenyls and Polybrominated Diphenyl Esters. This directive is in force from July 2006, similar legislation is expected to come in practice in China, Japan and various other states in United States. WeP’s aim is to comply with RoHS directive requirement over our global product lines.
