Compass elects Jajodia again

In an attempt to revitalize the presence of Compass and enhance it's space in
the IT retail and distribution community in Kolkata, Pawan Jajodia has been
re-elected consecutively for a second term for this year as the Compass
President with Satish Chaudhry retaining his portfolio of the immediate
past-President.

In keeping with the objective of infusing newer ideas into the association
programs, four new faces have been inducted in the executive committee this
time. The new entrants in the EC this year are Kishan Daga of Marc Infonet,
Rakesh Tiwari of Sea Infonet, Sumit Lundia of Starcomp Infotech and Vikash
Sethiya of Sevi Computers.

Talking about his re-election Pawan Jajodia, President, Compass said, “It is
indeed a privilege for me to be re-elected as the President of this prestigious
association. Like previous year, my primary concern will be to strengthen the
association by taking inputs from the experienced members and balancing them
with new entrants. The new members who have been inducted have all remarkable
achievements in their portfolio and I feel that their achievement requires a
fair assessment within Compass. Also, we are planning to expand our focus on the
claims and disputes section both within and outside the association”, he added.

Keeping the same in mind Compass will be deliberating on the disputes of the
defaulters in terms of payments inside Compass with Mahesh Shah heading the
committee on claims and disputes. With one case already solved earlier this
year, the association is undertaking a trial-and-error approach to bring in
claims disputes within its fold. The association is now headed to break free
from its traditional fold into a more proactive stance.

“Claims and disputes regarding payments has always been an issue. Earlier, we
could do little apart from deliberating on these issues. Now, we will be more
active in resolving these disputes. Already we have successfully solved one case
earlier this year and another three have been reported so far. We will be taking
these issues seriously henceforward and will strive our best in resolving these
cases from inside Compass”, Jajodia emphasized.

A 291 member strong association, Compass met on Oct 6 to form its new
Executive Council.
