Founder and Chairman: Supriya Lifescience Ltd.

 CHEMEXCIL was set up by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, in the year 1963 with the objective of promoting exports of dyes, inorganic and organic chemicals, cosmetics and lubricants among others, to various countries abroad. The Council comprises 4800 members, with exports of around USD 22 billion of chemical items under its purview. My motive of getting CHEMEXCIL appointed as a nodal agency for 'REACH Regulation', was to help member exporters to pre-register and register their products in EU countries. I have also effectively worked to include the reimbursement of 50% of ECHA registration fees to the Chemical exporters that was given only to Pharma based companies. I worked strenuously to provide 'Product Registration' for Agro Chemicals and also pioneered the Chemical Inventory Program which enhanced the working of the entire Chemical Industry. This program helps track the chemical inventory from beginning to end and addresses all of the special issues associated with storing, using, and disposing of hazardous materials.
