Publisher’s Note

Our magazine Machinery Lubrication India has completed its 7 years with this issue. We’ve published over thousand articles. We always try to publish the most valuable articles and our dear readers take care of the rest, promoting the article throughout the social platforms and sharing it with colleagues’ offline. Sometimes an article instigates new discussions on and beyond our Magazine. When the article gets published, we are absolutely confident that we are delivering value to our readers.

Anniversaries inevitably lead to introspection and retrospection. Since our very first issue (Sep-Oct, 2012), MLI has been devoted to providing value to Lubrication. Our stellar authors deserve credit for sharing their ideas and experiences.

Tailoring our publication to meet the reader’s need – a mission we have always taken seriously. Keeping in mind the changing digital world, we took an initiative in 2017 to feature our magazine across all major digital stands. Readers can visit our website or refer e-book for easy reference of the past issues. We have introduced Face-to-Face section a few months back. This section contains interviews with persons who matters in the field of lubricants, lubrication and reliability and they share their first-hand knowledge with our readers. This has proved to be a popular and successful addition.

While it is tempting to dwell upon an editorial analysis of past successes, challenges, and mysteries, we are happy to announce our newest content. In honour of MLI 7th anniversary, we are introducing new sections like ‘Great pioneers that inspire us’ in which readers will get a chance to know about the life, achievements, research, writings of great pioneers who made a profound impact on industry & academia. Also being introduced is a section titled ‘What if...?’ in which readers will get to understand a particular situation and how the author handled or resolved the situation. We are also planning to introduce a section called ‘Buyer’s guide’ - a comprehensive directory of companies who offer products and services within the machinery lubrication, reliability maintenance, and oil analysis industries. This shall be introduce soon. We hope our readers will equally appreciate these new sections.

We thank our readers for sending their feedback and sharing their experiences reading our magazine, you can read it in ‘From the readers’ section. The reason why this magazine exists and why the articles are even being published is because of you, dear reader, keep reading and recommending Machinery Lubrication India to your friends and colleagues. Having such a large audience, we are fully aware of our responsibilities and we’ll make sure to stay true to our values and principles in future.
