network and service patterns of the paint sector through an
analytical and comparative study of two leading companies-
Nerolac Paints India Ltd. (NPIL) and Asian Paints Ltd.

if any, in the present system and thus recommends
suggestions to improve the same. The project also gives
insights into the various financial terms, norms of the sales
and service departments as per the guidelines of the paint
industry.

company officials on three parameters i.e. distribution
network, service network and sales functioning. The project

of the company. “The sample size of 6 for channel members
and that for the sales people was 2, for each company”.
Firstly, the project discusses the distribution network of the
two companies and the functions carried out by the channel
members. Asian Paints being the largest paint manufacturer

Success and made people really sit up and take notice of the brand. Beginning with the introduction of the new Brush stroke logo, which stands for the
‘Process of painting’.

signal red color, which is the color of Nerolac, is
“Symbolic of eternal joy and hope”.

COMPANY BACKGROUND
Asian Paints
Central institute management and technology lucknow
Asian Paints , established in 1942, is India's largest paint
company and the third largest paint company in Asia. It has
a turnover of Rs 30.2 billion (around USD 680 million) .
The company operates in 21 countries and has 29 paint
manufacturing factories servicing 65 countries .
The company operates several subsidaries such as Berger
International Limited, Apco Coatings, SCIB Paints and
Taubmans. The company manufactures paints for
decorative, industrial, and motor applications.
The history of AP dates back to 1942. It was started by four
entrepreneurs, Champaklal Choksey, Chimanlal Choksi,
Suryakant Dani and Arvind Vakil, as a partnership firm for
manufacturing paints, in a garage rented for Rs 75 a month.
In 1945, the partnership firm was turned into a private
limited company named Asian Oil & Paint Co. Pvt. Ltd. And
in the same year, its turnover touched Rs0.35million.
In the 1940s, it was largely multinational companies such as
British Paints and Jenson & Nicholson that dominated the
Indian paints market.
In order to increase revenue, AP concentrated on the smaller towns ignored by multinationals. In 1954, Asian Paints asked the famous cartoonist R.K. Laxman to create a
Central institute management and technology lucknow
mascot for the company, and from his pen was born – Gattu – which emerged as one of India’s most memorable mascots (Refer Figure I). However, AP’s market research found out that in rural India, farmers who wished to paint the horns of their bullocks preferred to buy paint in small packs. Soon AP came out with 50-ml packs, which became very popular.
Asian Paints Limited ("Asian Paints") is transforming itself to become a major world player in the decorative paints business with particular focus on emerging markets following its acquisitions of controlling stakes in Berger International Limited ("Berger International") of Singapore and SCIB Chemical S.A.E. ("SCIB") of Egypt.
The total investment made by the company in both these acquisitions amount to around US$ 16.8 million (S$29.6 million). Asian Paints announced that it would focus on emerging markets of the world for growth and also that Berger International will be the main growth driver for Asian Paints international operations Focusing on the aspect of increasing shareholder value in Berger International, Mr. Dani said:
"In Berger International, Asian Paints will focus to increase shareholder value by further improving the supply chain
Central institute management and technology lucknow
management in the subsidiaries (Asian Paints supply chain management is considered the best in India servicing around 14,500 dealers directly from 70 sales locations and manufactur ing over 2 ,500 s tock-keeping un i ts (SKUs) .
The success of AP has been attributed to its customer-centric approach and aggressive marketing initiatives, which had changed the way industry, functioned.
AP wanted to be one of the top five companies in the global paints industry by 2007. In order to achieve this goal, it focused on three main areas - building the AP brand in terms of a new product portfolio, changing its logo and packaging.
The new AP was expected to be even more customer-friendly and service-oriented. In order to keep its prices low, AP had to keep its production costs low.
So it undertook backward integration to reduce production costs. In 1987, it entered into joint venture with Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO)
Pentasia Chemicals Ltd, for the manufacture of pentaerythritol and sodium formate - two important intermediates for manufacturing paints.

However, the advent of t int ing machines has considerably eased the distr ibut ion blues. With this technology, a paint company only needs to provide the dealer wi th certain base colors, t int ing machines (which include a dispenser, shaker and a computer) , colorants or strainers, and a color card.
The consumer chooses a part icular shade from the card. The dealer puts the code of the shade in the computer and the computer programme f inds the exact formula for the corresponding color.
TINTING MACHINE
Dealers’ Tinting Machines (DTS)
1. Powerful marketing tool
Central institute management and technology lucknow
2. Making major investment. Already invested Rs. 92-100 crore
Trying that these machines are directly purchased by dealers .The programme ensures that the required stainer gets added to the base paint in the required quantity and the new paint comes pouring out of the tinting machine in the shade chosen by the customer
