All Great Things Start Small

The company has come a long way since its small beginnings in 1942. It was set up as a partnership firm by four friends who were willing to take on the world's biggest and most famous paint companies operating in India at that time. Over 25 years, Asian Paints became a corporate force and India's leading paint company. Driven by its strong consumer focus and innovative spirit, the company has been the market leader in paints since 1967. Asian Paints manufactures a wide range of paints for decorative and industrial use and also offers Wall Coverings, waterproofing, adhesives, and services under its portfolio. The company is also present in the Home Improvement and Decor segment and offers bath and kitchen products. The company also introduced lighting, furnishings, and furniture to its portfolio.

Recently, the company entered into a definitive agreement with Weatherseal Fenestration for the acquisition of a 51% stake. Weatherseal, incorporated in March 2022, would be engaged in the business of interior decoration and furnishing, including manufacturing uPVC windows and door systems. Asian Paints also entered into a definite agreement to acquire a 49% stake in Obgenix Software, commonly known as White Teak, which is engaged in the business of decorative lighting products and fans.
