The Industrial Association Lassipora was set up in year
2012 .
However, the association’s origins date back to 2006 when its founding forefathers came
together to form the first association of its kind in the Kashmir valley, which was
initially formalized as the Industrial Unit Holders Association Lassipora (IUHAL).
For
the last one and a half decade IAL has played a pioneering role as a helmsman, steering

Association Lassipora has always recognized the fact that in the new environment of
society, industry and business, the need for Corporate to internalize and demonstrate
their responsibilities to the society in which they operate is no longer a matter of
debate.

VIEWPOINT
By Renowned Business Personalities
IGC Lassipora is a major multi-sectoral industrial estate in Jammu and Kashmir and probably the biggest in Kashmir engaged in manufacturing and processing of goods, including the local produce. Over time the Industrial Association Lassipora has become the main player at the estates working with various agencies for the development welfare of the unitholders. It is heartening to know that IGC Lassipora is coming up with its own website, which, I hope, will become a digital interface between the industrialists, development agencies, researchers, and other stakeholders working for the betterment of industrialisation and economic growth in Kashmir. It is expected that the website, with time, will become the main source of information for researchers, would-be entrepreneurs and investors for steering the growth engine of Kashmir.

Lassipora estate is not an amalgamation of unit-holders; it is the blend of blood and sweet, honest earning and endurance. Many unit holders I have encountered during my adventure in the estate, I have seen their sufferings, hardships, and sense of inadequacy in response to highly volatile situations around them. If any unit is successful despite such many hiccups, it is a tremendous effort, energy, and determination.
The experiences I gained are the treasures of my life.
I feel delighted to have the vibrant industrial association, caring and working for every unit, small or big.
The launch of the website was a longtime need that will certainly provide an open window to the world about us and our life’s endeavors.
Let success be our destiny and let us be the harbinger of hope for our budding entrepreneurs.
Industrial association Lassipora has been growing by leaps and bounds in the recent times. Some years back the limited number of units that existed in the estate were facing hurdles on a regular and daily basis. However, the estate has steadily shown a marvelous growth trajectory over time. The contribution of the estate in the economic activity of Jammu and Kashmir has been rising by leaps and bounds and the local self-employment and industry specific employment has seen a tremendous rise, much of which is accredited to the IGC itself. I have seen the estate bloom in industrial activity over time and the role of the present leadership can’t be under-estimated. I wish the estate and its present leadership all the best. Based on my experience, I contend that if the development work continues to grow at the current pace, the face of indigenous industrialization in J&K is going to witness a major sustainable structural shift within the coming decade

Digital platforms are the gateways to present day economies. Mapping our industrial capacities with digital superhighways can exponentially improve our abilities to remain relevant and compete at a larger scale. Importantly it can unleash the domestic potential as well which is systemically essential for an otherwise import intensive economy like ours (J&K).
