“Libraries are the backbone of any civilized society and form the basis of a well-informed and educated society.”
Manali Petrochemicals Limited (MPL) has taken a significant step in its growth journey by establishing its very own in-house library. The initiative was formally inaugurated by Mr. Chandrasekar Ramaswamy, Managing Director and CEO.
A New Step Forward
At MPL, core values extend beyond professional excellence. The organisation recognises that true progress is rooted in the knowledge and learning of its people. By encouraging reading and self-development, MPL aims to foster an inclusive environment where employees think critically and innovatively.

Fostering Intellectual Growth
This initiative underlines the importance of continuous learning—both within and beyond the workplace. As a science-led organisation, MPL understands the value of staying informed, not only for technical expertise but also for personal and professional growth.
The in-house library has been thoughtfully curated with a diverse collection of books spanning personal development, leadership, and technical subjects. Employees are encouraged to explore their interests and take advantage of the library as a space for daily discovery and growth.
Addressing Digital Fatigue
In addition to promoting learning, reading also offers a much-needed break from screens. With most of our workdays spent in front of digital devices, the library provides a mindful alternative—encouraging deeper focus, reflection, and reduced digital fatigue.
Unlike short-form digital content, books require undivided attention and engagement, helping develop concentration and cognitive depth.
A Culture of Learning
MPL’s investment in this initiative is more than the creation of a physical space—it’s a commitment to building a culture of learning, curiosity, and empowerment. By encouraging reading, MPL is nurturing well-informed, thoughtful, and collaborative employees who are equipped to contribute meaningfully to the organisation’s journey.
This library is a step toward creating a workplace that values knowledge as much as productivity—a place where every day is an opportunity to learn something new.
