The last month has been extremely hectic-at work and at home. As I struggled with dividing time

between work and home [like most of you], I pondered about how we as women constantly face

limits of time.

We juggle multiple responsibilities to achieve an “ideal” work –life balance, as we don’t want to be

perceived as less dedicated to our work. Please remember that is OK to give yourself a break

sometimes.

Since not all our members are on social media - I decided to repeat some of the posts / news

available online–.

The Maritime Magazine has published a very nice article on “Women Changing the face of World

Shipping”. Please read it online on http://www.maritimemag.com

Also a very nice article on Why the Shipping Industry Needs to deliver a Unified Message.

Ladies, please join and “like” our WISTA India and WISTA International Facebook site

I urge all of you members to go to the brand new WISTA International website

http://wista.net/en/site/home and login. Upload your photo and your professional details, so that

you can benefit with the contacts of WISTA sisters in other countries and they can connect with

you.

WHAT’S THE BUZZ? Here’s a round-up of what’s been happening in WISTA India in the past couple of months.

IN CHENNAI …

On 8th June 2013, WISTA Chennai held a meeting at the Presidency Club, presided over by

Ms. Sanjam Sahi Gupta, the President of WISTA India. The gathering saw the coming together of 12

Chennai members.

The meeting commenced with Ms.Sushmita welcoming the members and the guest speaker for the day - Mr. Sumant Mehrish, President of German Express CFS. Being a witty and excellent orator, Mr. Mehrish shared some interesting stories of his experience where women were more capable of adapting to tough and changing situations than men.

This was followed by a presentation on the Montreal Conference, as presented by Ms. Vinita Venkatesh, with the aim to spread awareness about the upcoming conference and to encourage members to register for the same. Ms. Sanjam Gupta addressed the gathering, firstly delivering the much deserved appreciation to Vinita and Sushmita for all their efforts at organizing the meet and getting the Chennai chapter going, followed by updates on the AGM and Annual Event at Mumbai. Prior to the vote of thanks by Ms. Gopi Priya, the enthusiastic and innovative Chennai ladies took upon the kind gesture of asking Ms. Sanjam to release a WISTA Flag for the occasion. They presented one to her and Mr.Mehrish (who sponsored the flags for all the Chennai members) . Ms. Sanjam holds this flag close to her heart, and has it perched proudly on her work desk!

MEET YOUR WISTA SISTER

In this section, we aim to introduce a WISTA member from another city, so that we get to

know each other a little better. Meet Ms. Manisha Thaker, Regional Manager – Gujarat,

Atlas Logistics Pvt Ltd, Baroda.

Ms. Manisha did her post-graduation in Home Science from the prestigious Sardar Patel university of Vallabh Vidyanagar. She got an opening in the field of customer service with Atlas logistics Pvt ltd during the year 2000, an area very different from her academic background, and is a part of this company till date. She chose to further build up her career in shipping and logistics by beginning right from the grass root level. She has grown professionally, climbing the ladder of success and is now the Regional Manager for the state of Gujarat.

She is based in Baroda – in charge of business development, logistics /supply chain for Gujarat branches and her main focus is on freight forwarding, projects and break-bulk cargoes, being a specialist in the movement of odd shaped and overweight cargoes within and outside the country. She possesses a keen interest in freight forwarding, project logistics and ship chartering and gets the opportunity to travel overseas for agent networking and business development. With a working experience of 13 years, she has been invited as the key speaker for various events and seminars on break-bulk movements, handling projects, warehousing and other key areas of logistics. Manisha‘s vision is to capture the strategic advantage of India’s longest coastline and develop the coastal areas of Gujarat to make it the growth engine of the State.

IN

MUMBAI…

The Mumbai

WISTA ladies

decided to hold a

networking meet

and spend an

evening

together, to take

a break from the

monotony and

just relax with

their fellow

members, at an interesting joint called Café Zoe in the happening area of the city. This is what Ms. Zinnia

Mandrekar (seen standing second from left in the photograph) had to say about this wonderful evening,

which also happened to be her first WISTA event- "Being my first meet with the WISTA ladies, I didn't know

what to expect when I entered Café Zoe. But, as soon as I met the WISTA gang I knew this was going to be

a fun evening of mixing work with play. It was a privilege for newbies like me to engage in enriching

conversations with the stalwarts of the industry. Hearing about their experiences, sharing my own over a

tall glass of ice tea and sandwiches was just ideal. I will surely look forward to more of such interactions as I

thoroughly enjoyed myself."

Sea Ports Knowledge Series Event Partner:

WISTA India was an event partner at the Sea Ports

knowledge series Outlook & Emerging Challenges –

Ports & Shipping, held on 10th July 2013, at the Nehru

Centre, Mumbai. We were represented by our General

challenges.

This is a modular program with eight week-long modules spread over 23 months on a regular basis and supported by a virtual platform, where individual/group

assignments and group discussions enhance the learning process. It aims at giving participants up-to-date insight into shipping economics and modern management theories and their application in the maritime sector. Students study the material in

THE STYLE QUOTIENT

We got Ms. Mamta Deval to share certain tips

with us - what she had to say was extremely

practical and made perfect sense! Read on to

identify your personal style, and to bring out the

stylish woman in you!

Clothing and Personal Style

Be Yourself! Everyone else is taken – Oscar Wilde

Human beings have a photographic memory.

We listen with our eyes.

Research shows that 83% of communication is visual.

Your clothes speak before you do and make a statement without saying a word.

The elements of visual image or personal appearance are:

Clothing, including accessories.

Grooming, including body hygiene, hair, skin and nail care, and makeup.

Body Language, including figure or body type, personal colouring, posture, eye contact,

facial expressions, gestures, manners, and general etiquette.

Together, these elements create a unique and memorable image which leads to an

impression in the mind of those who see you. This impression is automatic and instantaneous.

It is formed in seconds.

Every clothing item contains 5 design elements – line, shape, colour, texture and pattern.

Each of these elements conveys a message. For example, darker colours are advancing in

nature and make the wearer appear more authoritative. You need to be aware of the message

you wish to communicate, your role and the occasion and dress accordingly.

Clothing directly affects the way you think, the way you feel, the way you act, and the way

others react to you. You need to give time and attention to your clothing and appearance,

especially when:

You are meeting someone for the first time and they do not know you.

The other person’s opinion or reaction is important to the achievement of your goals.

Your mood or confidence level needs a lift.

Keep in mind the 4 A’s of personal appearance:

Appropriate: Nothing about your appearance is distracting

Authentic: Looking true to yourself

Attractive: Looking at you is a pleasant experience

Affordable: Reasonable cost in time, money and effort

Ask yourself the following questions:

Who am I going to meet? Who is going to see me?

What will I be doing?

When will I be going?

Where will I be going?

What do I want or need to accomplish?

What message do I want my clothes to make?

It is important to think about these questions in advance as it will help you to plan ahead

while deciding what to wear.

While putting together your outfit, any one element or accessory should be the dominant or

the focal point (which attracts attention), everything else should be subordinate. Too many

dominant points create confusion and make your appearance distracting.

Has this happened to you? – You see someone who has similar physical characteristics like

you wear something and they look attractive and in harmony. However, when you wear the

same outfit, it does not create a similar impact. This is because each of us is unique and has

our own personal style.

Personal Style consists of the following 3 dimensions of an individual:

Physical Characteristics – Your body build, figure type and personal colouring.

Personality Traits – Your values.

Clothing Characteristics – Elements of design, i.e. line, shape, colour, texture and

pattern.

It is important to not only present your physical self appropriately and attractively but

also be authentic by being true to your values. Manipulate the clothing characteristics to

strike a balance and create a powerful impression.

An understanding of the ancient Chinese concept of Yin

and Yang will help you to understand personal style. Yin

and Yang are two opposing but necessary characteristics

in nature, like the sun and the moon, fire and water.

Yin represents subordinate, receding, receptive, gentle

traits while Yang represents dominant, advancing,

assertive traits. Since Yin traits are usually associated

with women and Yang traits with men, people often

confuse Yin and Yang as feminine and masculine.

It is very rare to find a person who is exclusively Yin or exclusively Yang. Most people, like

the symbol, are a combination of both, with one type dominant and the other type

subordinate. Both are equally important and interdependent.

To identify your personal style, think about what you like and what you don’t – on others and

in stores as well. Analyse the elements (line, shape, colour, texture and pattern) of these

clothing items. Take time to experiment with your clothes. Try out different looks, a

different accessory or a new colour. Observe how you feel while wearing those clothes; be

aware of how you act and how others react to you. This will help you discover what you like

and will help you to develop and understand your personal style. You will know what works for

you, what doesn’t and why!

In the Spot Light

WISTA India was started with

an aim to provide an avenue to

the women in this tough industry

to shine bright, and to ensure

that their efforts received the

well-deserved recognition.

We have among us, such a star,

who has proved her grit and

efficiency by being an industrial

toughie and a loving mother at

the same time – Ms. Shantha

Martin, the Regional CEO for NVOCC vertical for

Allcargo Logistics Limited heading the Indian

Subcontinent and Middle East, responsible for 23

offices in 5 countries, and also the Joint Secretary in

the Executive Committee of WISTA.

On popular demand from fellow WISTA members, we did

an interview with her, to find out how Ms. Martin (who

also recently won the title of ‘Leading Woman in

Logistics’ at the International Women Leadership Forum)

maintains her cool despite her varied responsibilities,

and serves as a role model for the other women in the

industry.

-Your work and travel schedule are extremely hectic. How do you

manage home and family despite this?

“Team work applies at home too - me and my husband share the

responsibilities of home and family, and the times when I am

travelling my husband manages not just take care of himself but my

daughter too, and he does a very good job of it!! I also try to

effectively manage time by prioritizing work and home schedules.”

-When you take leave to look after your daughter, is the organization

supportive vis a vis other male counterparts who don't take any

paternal leave?

“My organization has been very supportive in allowing me the

flexibility I desire, and my male counterparts had no issues expressed

with this, and I never held them back in seeking any paternal leave

either.”

Ms Martin joined Allcargo

Logistics Limited in 2003 as the

National Import Manager.

Allcargo was then an SME in the

logistics sector, a sector which

was unorganized but held great

future promises as India emerged

as one of the economic giants of

the future. She grew in ranks year

on year from GM, VP, CEO of

India and CEO for Indian

Subcontinent and Middle East.

Ms. Shantha Martin is a Science

graduate and holds an MBA in

marketing from T A Pai

Management Institute, Manipal.

She started her career with Reed

Elsevier PLC, a British

Multinational publishing house,

and gathered herself the

distinction of working for diverse

sectors and later with the French

hospitality multinational, Accor

Corporate Services, as a Branch

Manager before joining Allcargo.

Under her leadership the NVOCC

division of Allcargo Logistics

Limited has won the leading

Consolidator of the Year

consecutively for the last 3 years

and also the Logistics Company of

Year 2010.

She was adjudged the runner up

in the Leading women CEO

category of the Women Leaders

of India awards organised by I -

Global in 2010. The All India

Business Management

Association recognised her

contribution to the National

Development through her field of

work and conferred upon her the

“Bhartiya Vikas Ratan” in

February 2011.

-Do you think that women take the majority of responsibility in child rearing? Would you encourage a more

equal role for both parents?

“Our society has come of age now, and in a metropolis like Mumbai such roles are largely shared, it is true

that it will take a while for the mindsets to change, especially in smaller towns and the rural India, and I'm

optimistic that as India progresses our outlook will also progress.”

-What message would you give to other young women who aspire to reach top management positions?

“Don't sleep and dream; don't sleep over your dreams ... dreams turn into reality only when we are fully

awake to it!! Women need to be aware of the potentials they have within themselves and they need to

continuously strive to create a position they rightfully deserve to be in and not wait for any special

allocations. One must bring in this self- realized potential to the workplace and contribute thus to the

diversity of talent within the organization .Being focused on what she aims to be and consistently working

towards it gets her to what she aspires.”

-How would you define your leadership style?

“Create more leaders, allow innovation, communicate openly, encourage and reward good team work.”

-What was the crucial decision you took, which helped shape your career?

“Moving out from security and comfort and taking on challenges by working in diverse industries from

healthcare to data base and event management to hospitality to logistics.”
