about IASAP

How we started....

In June1986, Kashmira Jijina and Geeta Rao, participated in the Secretary of the Year contest in Mumbai, where they met, Mrs. Homai Mehta, All India President of NIPS - India, who informed them about the Mission and Vision of NIPS (now IASAP). She emphasized the need for more chapters to be a part of this organization which gave birth to Pune chapter being a part of NIPS.

As I take on this new role, I also want to congratulate and thank our new elected committee to serve along with me for 2018-19 term.

Looking forward for all your support and do attend the monthly meetings and our special celebrations/events in large numbers from time to time.

Pune Chapter

NIPS Pune Chapter was born on 24th April 1987 and the chapter was inaugurated by Mr.J.N.Desai, VP-Bharat Forge Ltd in the presence of All India President, Mrs.Homai Mehta, at Hotel Blue Diamond. Mrs.Florence Boodle took the mantle as the first Chairperson. Personnel Managers from various companies in Pune, along with their secretaries, were special invitees at this function.

The 60 member attendance from our HQ - Mumbai NIPS was a great encouragement for many from Pune.
