Besides helming operations at Vakil and Sons, Arun Mehta, in his capacity as the president of BMPA and AIFMP, endeavoured to make technology accessible by organising Pamex in different parts of the country – Bombay (now Mumbai), Bangalore (now Bengaluru), and Calcutta (now Kolkata). In addition, Arun Mehta masterminded one of the first Indian print industry surveys when he was at the helm of the AIFMP. A tribute by Ramu Ramanathan.
