The pandemic caused challenges for the global population as well as the Indian economy, but Avery was able to weather the storm because of their commitment to providing exceptional services and giving worker safety and well-being top priority. They are well-positioned to handle the pandemic's problems thanks to their solid supplier connections and operational skills.

They owe their adaptability and resilience to their employees, who consistently pushed limits and devised innovative ways to address the pandemic's obstacles. That they have been consistently ranked as one of the best places to work in India for the past three years should come as no surprise, even during the pandemic.
Numerous new trends have emerged in the sector.

The innovation that this industry consistently offers to its clients and the satisfaction that results from their work delight Saurabh the most about working in this field. His constant pursuit of innovation to create a better tomorrow is what keeps him going, whether it's their wash-off labels that allow glass bottles to be circular or their linerless labels that cut down on waste.
Along with their future aspirations, Avery Dennison is dedicated to empowering employees to reach their full potential and fostering innovation inside the organization. Avery Dennison envisions growing its footprint and effect in India while also contributing fairly to the growth and development of the nation, given the potential growth prospects presented by the country's broad talent pool and market landscape.
