Re: PS Sharma

[S.V.Raman]

PS was not only my colleague but also a good friend during our years in the Sewri factory when he was initially  in the Engineering and later moved to production (Surf). 

I recall he was very cooperative as well as collaborative. 

He  had an unique sense of humor which he leveraged to overcome difficult situations (which were plenty in those days) .

I am grateful for having had a friend like him.

Wonderful and fitting eulogy from Muktesh for PS Sharma. 

I got to know him when he moved into Brookefids as GM Technical for the Oils and Dairy fats business. He was a down to earth and passionate leader. He would always get involved in projects with full verve and energy. He spoke his mind and fought for his people and point of view. Never let his disagreements on issues affect the personal relationships. 

He was a proud member of HLL family. His was a Levers family - both his son and son - in - law had significant innings in the company on their own merits.

I enjoyed his company and continued to be in touch till recently. He was a regular attendee at our alumni meets across the cities. 

May his soul rest in peace. Heartfelt condolences to his family.

Just got some very unfortunate news: “Heartbroken to inform you that my father, Mr PS Sharma passed away this afternoon. 🙏Sunil Sharma”

Many of you may recall that PS Sharma (Purush) was in HUL in the technical function from the 70s through the 90s. In the 80s I was fortunate to work alongside him in the Exports Department over several years.

PS as we called him was one of the cadre of great people that built the Unilever business in India - honest to a fault, exceptionally loyal, highly driven, willing to take any challenge - all this with a humanity towards staff and workers and a friendly manner with colleagues. I really loved working with him and we travelled on many unfamiliar roads, from Kandla and personal care products to Varanasi and carpets. I can recall so many flights, car rides, factory visits, dinners and fun evenings.

After he retired he always kept in touch and would visit his daughter and son-in-law in the US and his sons in Singapore and India. A few years ago his wife passed away from an illness and he leaned on his children and old friends as he coped with his tragedy.

PS was much more than a capable engineer and business executive. He had a very level head, a quiet but intense manner, the ability to innovate around constraints and build relationships. Gone with him are shared memories of an extraordinary time in the company’s and country’s history - one marked by shortages of resources and foreign exchange, retrograde government policies, but none sufficient to hold back the will of honest companies like HLL.

A sad day indeed, but I suppose one that the relentless drumbeat of time makes inevitable. Those of us who knew and worked with PS can celebrate his life and look back with gratitude that we had the chance to know him.

With utmost respect to the memory of PS Sharma,

Muktesh Pant

So sorry to hear that PS is no more. Heartfelt condolences to the family.

I had the good fortune to work with him in spells in the last 50 years. He got on well with all his colleagues be they in any part of the company Engineering, Production, Exports . He worked well with them and earned their respect be it in HLL or BBLIL. He was not only an efficient Engineer, an ambitious and good manager. It was a pleasure working with him . An example to be emulated .
Only time the great healer will help to blunt the loss. May God give the family the strength to bear the loss. May his soul rest in peace
Warm regards

I never worked with him, but got an opportunity to meet him once at Rajpura factory when he came to meet Mr. K C Vyas. In that short meeting I understood his simplicity. There was no need to show a friendly attitude with whom he never worked & never met earlier. I was very much impressed. Also heard many stories of him from the people who knew & worked with him.

May his soul rest in peace.
