FlexoGurukul: Training in flexographic printing

When you review the top flexo printers all over the world, you hear names of companies who have multiple factories, machines number ranging in hundreds and a team in place to manage all this. This is a phenomenon we do not get to see in India.






 
India does possess able entrepreneurs who are willing to take their companies to global levels.Although the necessary financial capital is available to achieve this, yet we need to strengthen and empower the human capital required to realize the perceived vision and global scale aspirations. Although some initiatives have been taken, we still have a long way to go.







FlexoGurukul is one such attempt to fill the gap that this industry suffers in the field of training. It is a seminar based program which aims to impart technical knowledge in flexo printing with a very unbiased approach.




 FlexoGurukul is being created in partnership with FlexoExchange.com, a company based in USA andrecognised for the training services provided in the field of flexographic printing. It is headed by Frank Burgos who has been in this industry for the last 30 years. Ever since 1997, when he founded FlexoExchange.com, he has served as the moderator of FlexoExchange's technical forum, troubleshooting print problems and offering advice to thousands of members from across the globe. Many of his articles can be found on FlexoExchange.com, covering topics as wide-ranging as attitude to blending and working of inks efficiently. In addition, he has created a YouTube channel dedicated to flexographic printing; UglyFlexo.com He has produced over 90 educational video tutorials.


FlexoGurukul has been designed to start-of as a technical seminar/training session over a period of 2 days. Frank has already charted the program for the next 4 sessions to be conducted over a period of 2 years. We plan to have 2 sessions every year, one in the summer and another in winter. We plan to target every company in the flexo business in India and South Asia to attend these seminars. The target audience consists of Owners, General Managers, Plant Managers and Production In-charge. The platform is being designed to scale up, in the future and to provide the industry with all the necessary information on infrastructure required to have a stable and a structured training forum.
