Dear Friends,
This marks the first time we have undertaken an advertisement with a truly unique and impactful approach—a value-added difference that is deeply significant. It is a reminder of the importance of giving back to the society we live in and appreciating the blessings we often take for granted.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Vikram Desai, whose brilliant idea made this initiative possible. His vision to create an advertisement emphasizing the importance of observing safety guidelines and saving lives has not only raised awareness but also elevated our security association’s standing by proposing a collaboration with the Goa Police.
Working hand in hand with the police aligns perfectly with the essence of our work as private security operators. This partnership adds immense credibility to our efforts, and we are truly grateful for their cooperation.
A big thank you to the following individuals and teams for their contributions:
Mr. Vikram Desai: For conceptualizing the advertisement and the idea of collaboration with the Goa Police.
Our President, Mr. Chandrakant Gaonkar, and Treasurer, Mr. Sameer Torascar, for their leadership and support.
Our Advisors, Mr. Gurcharan Singh and Mr. Nicholas De Souza, for their valuable guidance.
The Goa Police: For their support and timely permission, which was critical to making this initiative a success.
The Times of India Team, especially Ms. Krenza Dsilva, for her dedication and late-night efforts to ensure everything came together seamlessly.
Confidant and their team for their essential contributions.
A special note of appreciation goes out to all the members who agreed to proceed with this advertisement despite the higher costs this time. Your trust and collective decision-making have set a strong foundation for the impactful work we aim to achieve this year.
The year 2025 has begun on a high note, and this advertisement is just the beginning. Our dynamic members are already brimming with ideas for impactful events that will benefit our association as a whole and each of us individually.
Let us seize the opportunities before us, leverage our collective talent, and make 2025 a remarkable year for all.
Thank you, and may God bless us all.
Warm regards,
Mario Dickson
