Even as a student studying in a school in Delhi, Raghunathan’s ambition was always to pursue a vocational education that would lead him to become a mechanical, electrical, or civil engineer. There was keen competition in those days for admission to these courses, and colleges offering such courses were few and very expensive, too. Unable to face such challenges, Raghunathan enrolled in a course in Textile Technology at one of the local government colleges with little disappointment.
After completing his course in textile technology, he entered the textile industry as a shop floor supervisor at one of the composite mills in Ahmedabad. He soon realized and used to say that it was fascinating and absorbing work. Cotton and similar fibres of widely varying parameters require one to use statistical tools for processing. In short, he used to say that there was an art in handling the workforce, a science, and logic to understand the process technology, application of statistical tools, and a great emphasis on scientific management since this industry was operating on small margins.
He has presented many technical papers, contributed articles to textile magazines, and conducted refresher courses for fellow technicians and managers. He also has extensive knowledge of technical textiles, having served as the head of the technical textiles manufacturing unit for a decade.
Raghunathan is also a curious learner and will take any opportunity to listen, learn, absorb, and retain any topic of interest. He got a postgraduate diploma in management at the age of 75. Such is his drive for learning. Equally so, he is interested in sharing and guiding others who need help, and this book is one such attempt.
