Managing Director

Hello,

William Hawke here. Thanks for the click. I’m Managing Director of L.B. Associates (Pvt) Ltd. I’m a Canadian who has been permanently domiciled in India for over fourteen years.

We are often asked, “What does the ‘etc’ mean at the tail end of your buzz line – Contract Publishers etc?” Well, actually, we’re entrepreneurs and are therefore several things. To date, this includes activities hidden under the button links above.

Take contract publishing for instance. We’ve been producing customer magazines for various organizations since 1996. Most of the publications that we produce are advertising supported and therefore represent no financial burden to the client. As of December 2010, clients from 95 countries worldwide have outsourced publishing related work to us here in India, where they can get high quality work done at less than half the cost than if it was done in the West.

Also, we’ve noticed over the years that the Indian public is uninformed about Africa. This prompted us to create the Indo-African Society with the objective to “Create an Awareness of Africa in India.” Our website and publishing services under the name of the ‘Society’ are well received within a circle of people that count in developing Indo-African relations.

We also have four regular magazine of our own – Diplomatist, Creature Companions, People and Management and food Marketing and Technology.  ‘Diplomatist,’ our customer magazine, focuses on current affairs, with a few human interest and tourism articles thrown in. ‘Creature Companion’ is related to pet care. ‘People and Management’ focuses on Human Resources Development and ‘food Marketing and Technology INDIA’ is on the Indian food processing industry. All of these publications are circulated India-wide.

We are also the organizers of the annual India International Pet Trade Fair (IIPTF). Now, small Indian manufacturers of pet products who can’t afford to exhibit in pet trade fairs abroad, have one of their own right here in India. The fifth edition will be held in January 2011 and will occupy twice the space as IIPTF-2110. Delegates from 21 countries attended IIPTF-2010. We expect more this year.

Now I invite you to investigate our series of websites by clicking your way through the above links.

Thank you
