<p>The growth of Sriperumbudur as a major manufacturing hub is creating opportunities well beyond factory floors, with local small businesses benefiting from the expanding workforce, residential communities and demand for everyday goods and services around the industrial corridor.</p>



<p>From tea shops, grocery and hardware stores to drinking-water suppliers, mechanics and local transport operators, entrepreneurs across Sriperumbudur say their businesses have grown as the town has expanded. The presence of major manufacturers, including Samsung’s Chennai plant, has been part of a broader industrial ecosystem that has brought more jobs, people and economic activity to the area.</p>



<p>Samsung established its Chennai manufacturing facility in Sriperumbudur in 2007. In the years since, the area has seen the growth of factories, housing and supporting services, creating a larger customer base for businesses serving the everyday needs of workers and families.</p>



<p>For longtime local entrepreneurs, the transformation is visible in the businesses they run.</p>



<p>Rajan, who has operated a tea shop in Sriperumbudur for nearly three decades, remembers a very different town.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img width="1000" height="752" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18125437/Tea-Vendor-NR-1000x752.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32998" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rajan: “When I started, the customer base was small and the surrounding area was far less developed.”</figcaption></figure></div>


<p>“When I started, the customer base was small and the surrounding area was far less developed. Today, small houses have given way to flats, more companies and agencies have emerged, and a much larger population now lives and works in the area,” Rajan said.</p>



<p>His shop has grown alongside the neighbourhood, with the steady flow of customers reflecting the wider transformation taking place around him.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Growing Industrial Hub, a Growing Local Economy</strong></h2>



<p>The same evolution can be seen in businesses catering to everyday household needs.</p>



<p>Sathish Kumar, who runs an electrical and hardware store, has seen demand increase as more families and workers have settled in the area.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img width="1000" height="563" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18125425/Elec-NR-1000x563.png" alt="" class="wp-image-32994" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sathish Kumar: “I sell everyday hardware products and supplies. With new construction around, the families nearby always are in need so my business is doing well.”</figcaption></figure></div>


<p>“As more people settled here, the need for everyday products grew,” he said.</p>



<p>For Santhosh, the transformation has changed the scale of his grocery business. What began as a neighbourhood store now serves a much larger community, including employees working at companies nearby. As demand increased, he expanded his inventory and introduced deliveries.</p>



<p>“What began as a small neighbourhood store has become part of the daily rhythm of a much larger community,” he said.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18125435/Shop-NR-1000x667.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32997" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Santhosh: “Since manufacturing companies are located nearby, their workers and familes also started visiting the shop to purchase household items.”</figcaption></figure></div>


<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>New Needs, New Opportunities</strong></h2>



<p>The economic activity surrounding an industrial hub extends well beyond retail.</p>



<p>More people mean greater demand for housing, drinking water, cooking gas, transportation, vehicle repairs and other essential services. Across Sriperumbudur, local entrepreneurs have stepped in to meet these everyday needs.</p>



<p>Mastaan, who operates a drinking-water supply business, has seen demand rise as residential settlements have grown.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="637" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18125440/Water-Vendor-NR-1000x637.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32999" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mastaan: “I am very happy to be able to supply large quantities of water and meet the growing needs of the people in this area.”</figcaption></figure>



<p>“With companies and industrial establishments bringing more housing settlements into the area, supplying water in larger quantities has become an increasingly important part of my business,” he said.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18125429/gas-blur-1000x667.png" alt="" class="wp-image-32995" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Prem Kumar: “As the town developed over the years, the number of customers increased significantly.”</figcaption></figure></div>


<p>Local LPG distribution companies such as Prem Kumar’s and delivery services have similarly grown with the increasing number of households. Automobile repair stations, including Babu’s workshop, are serving more vehicles as economic and commuting activity increases across the area.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="562" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18125432/Mechanic-NR-1000x562.png" alt="" class="wp-image-32996" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Babu: “With increasing commuting activity in the area, my income has also increased.”</figcaption></figure></div>


<p>Transportation has also become an important part of Sriperumbudur’s expanding local ecosystem.</p>



<p>Govindaraj, a longtime resident who operates a bus service, has witnessed the town’s changing mobility needs first-hand.</p>



<p>“Today, my bus carries children going to school and people travelling to work. The growth in the area has increased the need for transportation, connecting homes, workplaces and communities,” he said.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="653" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18125420/Bus-NR.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32993" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Govindaraj: “I drive my bus here for the families and kids to school, and I am very happy about it”</figcaption></figure></div>


<p>Autorickshaw driver Manikandan has experienced a similar shift, with greater industrial and commercial activity bringing more passengers and more movement across Sriperumbudur.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="675" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/18153532/file_00000000321c81f5b467fa75a-1789724242629-1000x675.png" alt="" class="wp-image-33014" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Manikandan: “I have been driving an auto for more than 15 years and I have seen this town grow in front of my eyes”</figcaption></figure></div>


<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Beyond the Factory Gates</strong></h2>



<p>The experiences of these entrepreneurs illustrate how the impact of manufacturing can extend beyond the workplace. A large industrial facility creates employment within its operations, while the people and economic activity around it can also generate demand for a wider network of local businesses.</p>



<p>In Sriperumbudur, that network can be seen every day.</p>



<p>It is the tea shop serving workers in the morning. The grocery store delivering essentials to nearby homes. The mechanic repairing vehicles. The autorickshaw and bus drivers connecting people with workplaces and schools. And the entrepreneurs supplying water, LPG, electrical goods and household products.</p>



<p>Together, they are part of the wider community that has grown around Sriperumbudur’s industrial development.</p>



<p>For entrepreneurs who have lived and worked here for decades, the transformation is visible not just in factories, buildings or infrastructure. It can be seen in the customers walking through their doors, the communities they serve and the businesses they have built over the years.</p>



<p>Nearly two decades after Samsung began manufacturing in Sriperumbudur, its Chennai plant is part of a much larger industrial and community ecosystem.</p>



<p>Beyond the factory gates, local entrepreneurs are building livelihoods around the everyday needs of a growing Sriperumbudur—showing how the expansion of manufacturing can create opportunities that ripple through the communities around it.</p>

<p>Samsung’s Chennai Plant brought together more than 8,000 employees and their family members for a vibrant Family Day celebration, turning the manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu into a lively space filled with music, games, performances and shared moments.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/19092622/029A8294-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32514" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Little ones enjoy a fun-filled ride on the merry-go-round, creating joyful memories at Family Day</figcaption></figure>



<p>The celebration offered families an opportunity to experience the workplace that is an important part of their loved ones’ lives, while recognising the contribution of employees and the support they receive from their families.</p>



<p>For a day, the Samsung Chennai Plant took on a different energy. Employees arrived with their spouses, children and family members, with activities spread across the facility for people of all ages.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/19092952/029A8528-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32536" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Families soak in the celebrations, with little ones enjoying the event from the comfort of their parents’ arms</figcaption></figure>



<p>Children enjoyed attractions including a Toddler Zone, Ball Pit, Maze Runner, Trampoline and Carnival Inflatable, alongside creative activities such as mask making, doodle art and face painting. A foam party, bubble show, 3D show and photobooths added to the festivities.</p>



<p>The main stage brought together music, dance, comedy and employee recognition. The programme featured employee performances, sports and cultural awards, a lucky draw and a DJ-led celebration.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/19092627/Samsung-Day2-copy-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32515" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kids and families make the most of the fun-filled entertainment and colourful props at Family Day</figcaption></figure>



<p>One of the highlights came when Samsung colleagues from South Korea performed a Tamil song on stage, drawing cheers from employees and their families. Leaders from across the Chennai Plant also joined employees in dance performances, adding to the spirit of camaraderie.</p>



<p>For many families, the celebration offered a closer look at the community their loved ones are part of every day.</p>



<p>“It was a wonderful experience for our family. There were activities for everyone to enjoy, and it was really nice to see employees and their families coming together and celebrating as one Samsung Family,” said the husband of Lomavathi, a shop-floor employee at Samsung Chennai Plant.</p>



<p>Organising a celebration for thousands of people required teams across the plant to come together, coordinating registration, transportation, food, safety, activities and gift distribution.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/19092703/Samsung-day1-copy-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32522" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A collage of happy families capturing special moments and making memories together at Family Day</figcaption></figure>



<p>“A big event inside the factory is not easy to organise, but the team managed everything very well. The volunteers, safety team, food arrangements and time management were excellent,” said Prasanth, a shop-floor employee.</p>



<p>At the heart of the celebration was a message of gratitude from Sunghyun Hoon, Managing Director, Samsung Chennai Plant, who thanked employees and their families for their contribution and support.</p>



<p>“This is all thanks to your hard work. And most of all, thanks to our families who always support us with love. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. Our employees and families are our most important asset. Your happiness is Samsung’s future,” he said.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/19092718/029A8566-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32525" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A young participant proudly waves the Indian national flag amid the celebrations at Family Day</figcaption></figure>



<p>Samsung’s Chennai Plant has been an important part of the company’s manufacturing journey in India since 2007. Located in Tamil Nadu, the facility manufactures a range of consumer electronics and home appliances for consumers in India.</p>



<p></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/19092806/ZD5D8751-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32534" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Samsung Chennai Plant employees bring their energy and talent to the stage with a lively performance</figcaption></figure>



<p>Family Day celebrated the people behind that journey — the employees whose work contributes to Samsung’s operations every day and the families whose support makes that possible.</p>



<p></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/19092729/ZD5D8445-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32527" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">It was a house full at Samsung Chennai Plant with over 8000 people attending the event</figcaption></figure>



<p>As children moved between games, families gathered for photographs and employees cheered their colleagues on stage, the Chennai Plant became more than a workplace for the day.</p>



<p>It became a celebration of one team, one community and one Samsung Family.</p>

<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="608" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/04125305/Main-4-1024x608.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32365" /></figure></div>


<p>Ahead of Samsung Family Day 2026, employees come together through creativity, giving back and shared experiences that reflect the culture behind one of Samsung’s largest manufacturing facilities.</p>



<p>For millions of consumers, Samsung is known through the products they use every day. Behind those products, however, are thousands of people whose ideas, collaboration and dedication bring them to life.</p>



<p>At Samsung’s Chennai manufacturing plant, that spirit extends well beyond the production floor.</p>



<p>As the plant prepares for Samsung Family Day 2026 on August 15, employees have spent the past week participating in a series of activities designed around creativity, teamwork and community impact—bringing together colleagues from across departments and cultures before they welcome their families to the workplace.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/04125300/Main-2-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32363" /></figure></div>


<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Giving Back Together</h2>



<p>The centrepiece of this year’s celebrations was Joy of Giving 2026, where nearly 2,000 employees transformed the campus into a vibrant community fair.</p>



<p>Food streets, game stalls and employee-led activities created an atmosphere of celebration, with every purchase contributing towards charitable initiatives supported by the plant. More than a fundraising event, Joy of Giving reflected a shared belief that collective action—no matter how small—can make a meaningful difference.</p>



<p>“Joy of Giving was one of the most memorable events I’ve been part of. There were so many food and game stalls, and what made the experience even more meaningful was knowing that every purchase would help someone in need. It was a wonderful way to have fun while contributing to a larger cause,” said D Lomavathi from SMD group.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/04125303/MAin-3-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32364" /></figure></div>


<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Creativity Finds New Purpose</h2>



<p>Elsewhere across the campus, factory materials found an unexpected second life.</p>



<p>During the Junk Art Competition, employees transformed production scrap and recycled materials into sculptures inspired by innovation, artificial intelligence and the future. The creations demonstrated how imagination can turn everyday materials into something meaningful while reinforcing the importance of sustainability and resourcefulness.</p>



<p>Many of the artworks will remain on display across the campus, becoming lasting reminders of the creativity that exists throughout the organisation.</p>



<p>“Seeing everyday factory materials transformed into beautiful sculptures was inspiring. It reminded me that creativity and teamwork can turn simple ideas into something extraordinary. It made me feel proud to be part of Samsung,” said Vasanthi Muthukrishnan, an Operator at Samsung Chennai Plant.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Workplace That Celebrates Every Talent</h2>



<p>The celebrations also highlighted talents rarely seen during a normal workday.</p>



<p>Employees took to the stage for music, dance and cultural performances, while colleagues from across the plant came together to cheer them on. The performances reflected the diversity of the Chennai plant and created opportunities for employees from different teams to connect beyond their day-to-day responsibilities.</p>



<p>At the same time, the One Team Cricket League brought together Indian and Korean employees in mixed teams, celebrating the collaboration that defines everyday life at the plant.</p>



<p>The energy across the plant was incredible. The Talent Show brought together people from different departments, each sharing something unique. It truly reflected the vibrant culture we have at Samsung,” said Vetrivel V, Operator at the plant.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="574" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/04125256/Main-1-1024x574.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-32362" /></figure></div>


<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead to Family Day</h2>



<p>The celebrations are building towards Samsung Family Day 2026, when thousands of employees will welcome their families to experience the workplace where they spend much of their time.</p>



<p>For many, it is an opportunity to share not just where they work, but the culture they help create every day.</p>



<p>Whether through giving back, creating art from recycled materials, performing on stage or playing together on the cricket field, the week has reinforced what makes the Chennai plant more than a manufacturing facility—it is a community built on collaboration, respect and shared purpose.</p>



<p>As Samsung marks 30 years in India, the celebrations offer a reminder that its journey has always been shaped not only by technology and manufacturing, but by the people behind them. At the Chennai plant, those people continue to build products, friendships and stronger communities—together.</p>

<p>Strengthening its community engagement in Tamil Nadu’s key manufacturing corridor, Samsung India today announced a new skill development initiative for women in the Sriperumbudur region, aimed at enhancing livelihood opportunities and supporting local economic participation.</p>
<p>Samsung has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bal Raksha Bharat (Save the Children, India) to roll out a structured vocational training programme for 200 women from Santhavellore and Sirumangadu villages in Kanchipuram district.</p>
<p>The 12-week programme, scheduled between April and September 2026, will provide hands-on training in professional tailoring, followed by government-recognised certification. Participants will also receive sewing machines upon completion, enabling them to pursue income-generating opportunities and micro-entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>“Tamil Nadu has consistently been a leader in industrial development and skill creation. At Samsung, we are proud to contribute to this vision by enabling women in the Sriperumbudur region with skills that can drive self-reliance and entrepreneurship. Our focus is on creating long-term, sustainable impact at the grassroots, aligned with the state’s broader goals of inclusive economic growth,” said <strong>SH Yoon, President, Samsung Chennai Plant</strong>.</p>
<p>The programme is part of Samsung’s broader CSR commitment in India and reflects its continued focus on inclusive development in regions where it operates. Sriperumbudur, one of Tamil Nadu’s fastest-growing industrial hubs, has seen significant transformation over the years, and initiatives like these aim to ensure that local communities benefit from this growth.</p>
<p>By investing in grassroots skilling and women’s empowerment, Samsung is contributing to Tamil Nadu’s broader vision of inclusive industrial development and strengthening the socio-economic fabric of communities around its manufacturing ecosystem. Marking 30 years in India, Samsung continues to strengthen its commitment to advancing education and digital inclusion.</p>

<p>In the industrial belt of Sriperumbudur — a region that has transformed into one of Tamil Nadu’s most important manufacturing corridors — Samsung’s Chennai plant is quietly shaping another story of progress. Workers who began on the shopfloor have now stepped into leadership roles over time.</p>
<p>As Samsung completes 30 years in India, its long-term presence in Tamil Nadu reflects not only manufacturing scale, but sustained investment in people.</p>
<p>Several employees who joined as entry-level technicians have progressed into specialist and supervisory roles across procurement, utilities and production — demonstrating how structured training, internal mobility and mentorship are enabling upward career movement within the plant.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_31070" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31070" class="wp-image-31070 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cover-chen.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="562" /><p id="caption-attachment-31070" class="wp-caption-text">Rajaram S, <span>Thamizh Selvi K</span>, Karthick N and V Prabasan from Samsung Chennai Plant in Sriperumbudur</p></div></p>
<h3>Growth Rooted in Opportunity</h3>
<p>For Karthick N, an associate in the Indirect Procurement Team, the journey began as a Production Employee in the AC plant, working at a basic technician level. Like many early-career professionals, repetition sometimes brought moments of boredom. But instead of standing still, Karthick chose movement — learning new processes, exploring different responsibilities, and steadily reshaping his path.</p>
<p>“Every experience I learned made me progress,” he said. Structured learning interventions like CLAS and CDP training programmes became defining moments, helping transform consistency into confidence. Today, he speaks not just of career progression, but of purpose. “I feel proud to work for Samsung. My work has meaning.”</p>
<p>That sentiment echoes across the plant.</p>
<p>At Samsung Chennai plant, the Associate designation represents a significant career milestone earned through years of experience, skill-building, and formal assessment. Employees typically progress through multiple operator and technician levels over 12 to 15 years, gaining deep technical expertise and operational understanding.</p>
<p>Those who further invest in higher education can qualify for structured programmes such as Career Development Programme (CDP) and Career Level Assessment (CLAS).</p>
<p>At the heart of many such journeys lies reinvention.</p>
<p><span>Thamizh Selvi K</span>, Associate in System Stock management Team, joined Samsung Chennai in 2007, fresh out of higher secondary education. For her, the job represented more than employment — it marked “the turning point” for her life and family.</p>
<p>Her early years in the PBA team were defined by skill-building and multi-stage exposure. Over nearly 15 years, she evolved from line operations to line management, guided by leaders who recognised both effort and potential. The Internal Job Posting (IJP) opportunity eventually opened the door to R&D — a long-held aspiration.</p>
<p>Even when the transition involved temporary financial adjustments during GET training, she chose belief over hesitation. “I saw it as the beginning of achieving my dream.”</p>
<p>Today, holding an MBA earned while working, she reflects on a journey built on perseverance, continuous learning, and organisational support. “If you have talent, commitment and a supportive work environment, opportunities will come.”</p>
<p>Similarly, when Rajaram S, Associate in Utility – Mechanical & Civil Team joined as a Technician, the transition into a new environment brought its own learning curve. What stands out most in his memory is not the challenge, but the support. “The guidance from managers and the team gave me confidence,” he said.</p>
<p>Over time, his responsibilities expanded — from basic duties to planning, coordination, and team leadership. Continuous pivotal assignments proved to be breakthroughs, allowing Rajaram to demonstrate his capabilities on a larger stage. “These opportunities helped me grow technically and personally. Today, I make decisions with greater confidence.”</p>
<p>Growth, here, is rarely accidental.</p>
<h3>Internal Mobility as a Pathway</h3>
<p>For V Prabasan, Associate, Indirect Procurement, who joined almost two decades ago, in the CRT TV line, the plant initially felt like “a small family.” In those early years, with fewer teams and a single plant, collaboration came naturally. “Everyone felt like close friends,” he recalls.</p>
<p>What continues to shape his journey is the discipline embedded in the workplace culture. “Samsung’s standards brought more punctuality, discipline, and clarity to my life goals.” Encouraged to move beyond manual processes, Prabasan went on to develop an automated HS Code Management System, simplifying workflows within import purchase operations — a reminder that innovation is not confined to R&D labs.</p>
<p>Across these stories runs a common thread — not dramatic leaps, but steady progression enabled by training, mentorship, and a culture that encourages employees to stretch beyond defined roles.</p>
<p>Professional growth here is deeply personal.</p>
<p>For Karthick, it means security and happiness for his family. For Rajaram, maturity and confidence in decision-making. For Prabasan, discipline and clarity of vision. For <span>Thamizh Selvi K</span>, not just career advancement, but becoming an example for the next generation.</p>
<p>Their advice to newcomers is strikingly similar: stay curious, stay consistent, keep learning, prioritise safety, and trust the journey.</p>
<p>Because at Samsung Chennai plant, careers are not merely built.  They are grown — from within.</p>

<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-30721 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Logo-PII.jpg" alt="" width="1462" height="348" /></p>
<p>Before sunrise each day, buses roll out across villages and townships around Kancheepuram district, carrying hundreds of women to one of Tamil Nadu’s largest electronics manufacturing hubs — the Chennai plant of Samsung India.</p>
<p>On the shop floor, amid assembly lines and testing units, these women are doing more than building devices. They are building futures.</p>
<p>This year marks three decades of Samsung’s presence in India — a journey often measured in products, innovation and exports. But inside its Chennai facility, another milestone is visible: the growing number of women shaping the factory floor and redefining what manufacturing looks like in Tamil Nadu.</p>
<p>For Kavya, part of the employee relations team, the plant is a space of growth. With a background in psychology, she works closely on employee well-being initiatives.</p>
<p>“Here, I’ve learned and evolved,” she says. “Colleagues become friends. The workplace feels like family.”</p>
<p>For Sangeeta, who has spent around a decade at the plant, the turning point was transportation. Long commutes once meant stress and safety concerns. Company-arranged door-to-door buses changed that.</p>
<p>“It gave me confidence,” she says. “When travel is safe, you can focus on your work.”</p>
<p><div id="attachment_30822" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-30822" class="wp-image-30822 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cover-chennai.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="564" /><p id="caption-attachment-30822" class="wp-caption-text">[L-R] Sangeetha and Rekha from Samsung Chennai Plant have spent over a decade there.</p></div></p>
<p>Across Tamil Nadu’s industrial corridors, safe commuting has quietly become a key enabler for women entering manufacturing roles.</p>
<p>Then there is Rekha from the Visual Display line who has been with Samsung Plant in Chennai for last 18 years. Her motivation is simple: her mother.</p>
<p>“I want to give her everything she ever wished for,” she says.</p>
<p>Two decades of stable employment has allowed her to support her family with dignity — a sentiment echoed by many first-generation industrial workers in the region.</p>
<p>As Tamil Nadu strengthens its position as an electronics manufacturing powerhouse, the image of the factory floor is evolving. In Sriperumbudur, women are present all across production, quality control and operations — contributing not just to output, but to communities.</p>
<p>Three decades into its India journey, the company’s progress in Chennai is reflected not only in scale, but in stories of independence, safety and self-belief — one shift at a time.</p>

<p>At Samsung Chennai plant, the workday recently took on a cheerful new twist. Amidst buzzing production lines and changing shifts, laughter and cheers echoed around the newly inaugurated Multi-Sports Arena. The occasion?</p>
<p>The much-anticipated Gully Premier League—a cricket tournament designed not just to bring sports into the factory but to spark joy, nostalgia, and togetherness among workers.</p>
<p>More than just a game, this initiative is part of Samsung’s larger mission to build a Great Place to Work, celebrating the spirit of collaboration and play across all shifts and teams.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-29292 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/DLP05859-e1749615299478.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Cricket, but Make it Gully Style</strong></h3>
<p>Forget stadiums and white kits. Here, cricket is played the gully way—with deft flicks and swinging deliveries, hand-made scoreboards, enthusiastic commentary from colleagues, and rules that changed with the wind and umpire’s sense of humour. The format was simple and inclusive:</p>
<p>Each shift could nominate one team of six players</p>
<p>Larger departments could nominate more teams</p>
<p>All shift employees were encouraged to participate</p>
<p>The response was electrifying—48 teams, 72 league matches, and 288 employees who left their work shoes at the door and stepped into sneakers and spirit.</p>
<p>“I haven’t played cricket since school. But the moment I picked up the bat, it all came rushing back,” said Karthik from Washing Machine Line. “The crowd, the cheers, the chaos—it felt like home.”</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-29289 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/GCL.jpg" alt="" width="2843" height="1479" /></p>
<h3><strong>Making Room for Everyone</strong></h3>
<p>What made this league even more special was the focus on the sense of togetherness. Alongside the main matches, there are dedicated categories being planned for all lines—ensuring everyone felt welcomed on the pitch.</p>
<p>Gopi, from Refrigerator Line, said, “It wasn’t just about who hit the most runs or took the best catch. It was about seeing a usually quiet colleague take on captaincy, or someone from admin stepping in as a last-minute substitute and bowling the match-winning over.”</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-29290 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/20250508_1631370-e1749615349707.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="750" /></p>
<h3><strong>New Grounds, New Bonds</strong></h3>
<p>The Gully League also marked the inauguration of the new Multi-Sports Arena, a vibrant space that now stands as a symbol of wellness, fun, and shared purpose. From laughter-filled team huddles to last-ball thrillers, the Arena quickly became the new favourite hangout for employees.</p>
<p>“For me, the best part was the crowd. People from all shifts came to watch, cheer, and even bring snacks,” said Sivabalan from the Smart Facility Group (SFG). One team even had cheer slogans printed for fun. We all forgot the Chennai heat and just had a blast.”</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-29291 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/in/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/20250425_150552-e1749615378443.jpg" alt="" width="4000" height="2252" /></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Bringing Samsung Values to Life</strong></h3>
<p>Events like the Gully Premier League aren’t just recreational—they reflect Samsung’s core values: People, Excellence, Change, Integrity, and Co-Prosperity. They encourage employees to lead with energy, grow through collaboration, and build bonds beyond the workstation.</p>
<p>“It’s easy to say we’re one team. But on the field, you feel it,” said Srinath from R&D team. “We high-fived, strategized, laughed—and went back to work feeling lighter.”</p>
<h3><strong><br />
And the Game Goes On</strong></h3>
<p>With 24 teams moving into the knockout stage, anticipation is building up for the quarterfinals, semifinals, and the much-awaited grand finale. And while one team will eventually lift the trophy, everyone walks away with memories, smiles, and a stronger sense of belonging.</p>
<p>So, here’s to the gully spirit that brings us closer—and many more innings of fun, teamwork, and friendly banter at Samsung!</p>

<p>At Samsung’s Chennai factory, leadership isn’t confined to titles or offices—it lives on the shop floor. It’s reflected in everyday actions by members of the Samsung Employee Welfare Federation (SEWF), who are quietly powering meaningful change through dialogue, support, and teamwork.</p>
<p>Sathish A, Suresh P, Chitra K, Prakash, Vadivelan, Senthil Kumar, Ravichandran, and S Karmegam form the core of SEWF. Their behind-the-scenes efforts have been instrumental in bridging communication between workers and management, especially during periods of operational change.</p>
<p>Through consistent engagement and honest feedback, these representatives played a key role in driving recent wage increases—an outcome that reflects not just performance, but a shared commitment to fairness and collaboration.</p>
<p>“Being on the committee changed my perspective,” shared Senthil Kumar. “It’s not just about raising concerns—it’s about solving problems together. That mindset has strengthened our whole team.”</p>
<p>On the floor, they defuse tensions, amplify quieter voices, and ensure no one is left unheard. Their steady presence builds trust, boosts morale, and helps create a workplace where people feel valued.</p>
<p>“We may not make speeches, but we show up for each other,” said Vadivelan. “When things improve for everyone, it feels like a collective win.”</p>
<p>For Chitra K, the youngest member, it’s about helping others grow. “When someone who’s always been silent finally shares an idea—you know they feel safe. That’s when change starts.”</p>
<p>SEWF is more than a committee—it’s a catalyst for a positive, people-first culture. Its members are trained to listen, mediate, and ensure communication flows across the factory floor.</p>
<p>“Sometimes, people just need to know they’re not alone,” said Ravichandran. “I try to be that person.”</p>
<p>As Samsung continues to foster a culture of care and collaboration, the work of these quiet leaders reminds us that true leadership doesn’t always stand in the spotlight. More often, it stands right beside you—listening, guiding, and lifting others forward.</p>

<p>The occasion brought together the entire Samsung workforce and their loved ones in an expression of unity. With a full day of festivities planned, the event was an unforgettable showcase of Samsung’s commitment to its people and the rich cultural diversity that defines its workplace.</p>
<p>“Our workforce is the backbone of our success, and today, we celebrate not just our workers, but their families as well. The strength of Samsung lies in the strong bond we share with each other, and days like these remind us that we are not just a company but a family,” said SH Yoon, Managing Director, Samsung Chennai Plant, expressing his heartfelt appreciation in his welcome speech.</p>
<p>The day kicked off with a spirited Chenda Melam performance, a traditional percussion ensemble from Kerala, setting the tone with its powerful, rhythmic beats. As the resonant sound of the chenda drums filled the air, workers and their families were greeted with refreshments, laying the groundwork for a day that blended work and family in a meaningful celebration.</p>
<p>One of the highlights of the day was a surprise video where families welcomed the workers, creating emotional moments for many. Balamuni, the wife of a long-time factory employee, said, “This day made us feel like we are part of the Samsung family. My husband always speaks about how much he values working here, and we got to see firsthand the sense of community that exists within the company. The factory tour was especially exciting for the children—seeing where their father works filled them with pride.”</p>
<p>Families were treated to a guided tour of the factory, offering a glimpse into the state-of-the-art facilities where their loved ones work each day. The tour, followed by a lunch gathering, fostered conversations between families, workers, and management, further deepening the sense of camaraderie.</p>
<p>The event also featured two lively photo booth sessions, ensuring that everyone took home memories of the day. In the second half of the day, a fun fashion show took center stage, with workers and their families showcasing their creativity. As cheers echoed through the plant, the joy and energy were palpable.</p>
<p>Divakar, Operator, PBA & SMD at plant, shared his thoughts: “The Family Day event made us feel valued. It’s not every day that our families get to understand what we do and see where we spend most of our time. Today, they got to experience a part of our lives that is usually separate, and that means a lot to me.”</p>
<p>The day concluded with prize distribution, group photos, and a lucky draw, but the lasting takeaway was Samsung’s commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and pride within its workforce.<br />
The event was a testament to Samsung’s people-centric culture, where employees and their families are placed at the heart of the company’s success.</p>
