The PMS get-together co- Ordination Team and Dear Colleagues,

Thinking of you all on this special day, the first-ever get-together for our Popular Mill Stores family in Ernakulam on May 25th. Though miles away in reaching this significant milestone. It truly warms my heart to reminisce about our PMS journey since 1979, the guiding influence of the late Mr. K.P. Paul (Founder and Managing Partner), and the partnership of Francis Paul, John Paul, and Saju Thomas. The invaluable experience we all gained at Kuttukaran Group remains a cherished part of our shared history. I fondly remember my job interview conducted by the late Shri. K. L. Mathew (then DGM) and Shri. P. T. Jose (Purchase Manager and now Managing Partner at Benz), in the presence of our dear Pylettan. My career began at P. A. Paravattani. (Immediately after my joining partion with Mr. Thimothy youngest partner of Shri Pylettan took place and majority of the staff gone P.A Madras). I stick on with Pylettan.While working at PA ekm I was looking after purchase of tools for Popular workshop and garages and hence, partner John Paul ear marked me first staff of PMS 4 months prior to it's launch. Daily afternoon session he take me to PMS for Tag writing,keep materials in relevant section.I had the opportunity to work across nine branches and travel through nine states in India for materials procurement. I was fortunate to work directly under all the partners, especially enjoying five continuous years alongside Pylettan. With the experience I gathered from kuttukaran group I had the opportunity to work state of Qatar, New jersey (U.S) and Winnipeg (Canada). Wishing everyone a wonderful reunion filled with laughter and cherished memories. Cheers to the incredible legacy of PMS and the remarkable success each of you has achieved! Sincerely yours,

EV Francis
