PS: Be Unstoppable
"Nothing is More Powerful than an Idea Whose Time has Come"
We all know the success stories. The ones with personalities who often surprise us with a twist in the tale. And despite challenges and vulnerabilities they encounter, surge to the next level with the unthinkable.
Dig deeper and you will realise that they are the ones who believed ‘they can’; who are continuously on a path to unlearn… only to relearn, reinvent, rediscover and become the best version of themselves. Eventually, they rise above challenges, spread their wings wider and take-off for greater heights.
Achievers, who inspire us to ‘Be Unstoppable’.
Once again, BMPA Announces The 16th Edition of paper printed products Industry’s most-coveted Knowledge Seminar
Print Summit® 24 is an ode to the ones with fire in their bellies and passion in their hearts. Individuals who have etched a distinct space in their fields of expertise by looking beyond the obvious, stretching farther and reaching higher. To us, they are the ‘Unstoppables’ who lead through their constant thirst for knowledge, resilience and determination; and in turn push everyone around to Be Unstoppable.
Hosted by the Bombay Master Printers’ Association (BMPA), the Summit is an annual rendezvous in memory of Johannes Guttenberg “the Father of Printing” and master innovator who looked beyond and revolutionised mass printing by giving the movable type press to the world.
Commemorating ‘The Master’ each year with knowledge from pundits across businesses has been a ritual of the BMPA for the past 15 years!.


PS ’24 will take this tradition beyond by staging personas from 2 distinguished panels, amongst other celebrated speakers, to enlighten us with their experiences. Success stories of the unstoppables who found opportunities in challenges, relentlessly pursued their goals and are masters in their own rights.

Printing and the allied business has always been seen as an ‘Industry’ and considered as a male bastion over many years. There were ofcourse exceptions to the rule, and we had notable lady business owners who ran their printing businesses very well. However, since the last few years, like in all businesses, ownership is no longer the sole prerogative of the males from the family, and we are seeing an equal number of lady owners who not only take over the commercial side, but make an equal impact in the technical, creative as well as the marketing arm of their businesses.
