COEP scholars visit the Premier Factory

On 25th February, the Vinod Doshi- COEP scholars had an interesting day visiting the Premier factory. The day started with an interactive presentation that was shown to the scholars and gave them a detailed idea about what Premier Ltd. was all about. The scholars learn about the history of the company and also about all the manufacturing processes that take place in the company.

An interactive session on “How much do you know about Premier?”

Post this the scholars were taken around each division of the factory and a detailed explanation of each unit was given. This helped them to get a better understanding of the manufacturing processes also details about other engineering processes that are undertaken at Premier.

The scholars had a blast when they got the RiO experience. It truly was “Different”. The scholars sat in the car, posed in front of the RiO and enjoyed the feel of the SUV. They flaunted their RiO experience in front of their college friends and others. The photos have been uploaded on our respective face book pages, and the envious onlookers would like to experience the same.

Plans for other such interactions are shaping up.
