Saji pillai

Saji joined the Audio Cassette industry in the 1980s when the industry was at its peak. Soon he became well known in the industry for his passion to deliver best quality products approved by the likes of musician AR Rahman, directors Mani Ratnam, Sooraj Barjatya, Karan Johar and ghazal maestros Jagjit Singh and Pankaj Udhas.

His passion, sincerity and integrity paid rich dividends when he was called to join Sony Music in 1996 to set up their Audio Cassette plant in Mumbai. As the Plant Manager he received his training at Sony Holland. He then set up and commissioned a world-class facility with which Sony launched international quality standard audio cassettes in India – Vande Mataram, Kuch Kuch Hota Hain, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and international artists Michael Jackson, Michael Bolton and Mariah Carey to name a few.

He played a major role in Sony’s expansion with the establishment of a new plant in India which manufactured CDs, DVDs, and Bluray Discs that matched the high European standards which was made possible due to the training received at a Sony plant in Austria.
