It has 27 paint manufacturing facilities, servicing consumers in over 60 countries. Asian Paints is also present in the Home Improvement and Decor space in India.
History
The company was started in a garage in Gaiwadi, Girgaon, Mumbai by four Gujarati friends Champaklal Choksey, Chimanlal Choksi, Suryakant Dani and Arvind Vakil. They all belong to Jain families, and founded the company in February 1942. During World War II and the Quit India Movement of 1942, a temporary ban on paint imports left only foreign companies and Shalimar Paints in the market. Asian Paints took up the market and reported an annual turnover of Rs 23 crore in 1952 but with only 2% PBT margin. By 1967, it became the leading paints manufacturer in the country.
The four families together held the majority shares of the company. But disputes started over the global rights in 1990s when the company expanded beyond India. The disputes resulted in Choksey selling their 13.7% shares and exiting in 1997. Champaklal died in July 1997 and his son Atul took over. After failed collaboration talks with the British company Imperial Chemical Industries, Choksey’s shares were mutually bought by the remaining three families and Unit Trust of India. As of 2008, the Choksi, Dani and Vakil families hold a share of 47.81%. Ashwin Dani, the non-executive director of Asian Paints, died on September 28, 2023, at the age of 79.
In 2013, it acquired 96.48% stake in Berger International Singapore.
In 2022, it acquired 49% stake in Obgenix Software Private Limited (popularly known by the brand name “”White Teak“”).
Manufacturing locations:
The company along with its subsidiaries have 27 manufacturing facilities across 15 countries serving customers globally in over 60 countries.
Marketing and advertising
In 1950s, the company launched a “”washable distemper“”, which was a balance between the cheap dry distemper that peeled easily and the more expensive plastic emulsions. Promoting their brand Tractor Distemper, the company used “”Don’t lose your temper, use Tractor Distemper”” in their advertisings. In 1954, “”Gattu”” – a mischievous boy with a paint bucket in his hand – was launched as mascot. Created by R. K. Laxman, the mascot found appeal with the middle-classes.
The mascot was used only in print advertisements and packaging till 1970s and by 1990s, was also seen on television advertisements. Ogilvy & Mather, the advertising agency associated with Asian Paints, launched marketing strategy by focusing on festive occasions in 1980s with their tag line “”Har Ghar Kucch Kehta Hai“” (Every home says something). In 1990s, the advertisements focused on the home exteriors. The company revamped its corporate identity in 2000s and axed Gattu as their mascot, and later changed its “”Asian Paints”” logo to the shorter “”AP”” mnemonic.

Overview of Indian Stock Market.

BSE and NSE

* Please Visit NSE, BSE websites for latest updated Data.

Most of the trading in the Indian stock market takes place on its two stock exchanges:
the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The BSE has been in existence since 1875.
The NSE, on the other hand, was founded in 1992 and started trading in 1994.
However, both exchanges follow the same trading mechanism, trading hours, and settlement process.
As of February 2020, the BSE had 5,518 listed firms, whereas the rival NSE had about 1,799 as of Dec. 31, 2019.
Out of all the listed firms on the BSE, only about 500 firms constitute more than 90% of its market capitalization;
the rest of the crowd consists of highly illiquid shares.
Almost all the significant firms of India are listed on both the exchanges.
The BSE is the older stock market but the NSE is the largest stock market, in terms of volume.
As such, the NSE is a more liquid market. In terms of market cap, they’re both comparable at about $2.3 trillion.
Both exchanges compete for the order flow that leads to reduced costs, market efficiency, and innovation.
The presence of arbitrageurs keeps the prices on the two stock exchanges within a very tight range.

Trading Mechanism

Trading at both the exchanges takes place through an open electronic limit order book in which order matching is done by the trading computer.
There are no market makers and the entire process is order-driven, which means that market orders placed by investors are automatically matched with the best limit orders.
As a result, buyers and sellers remain anonymous.
The advantage of an order-driven market is that it brings more transparency by displaying all buy and sell orders in the trading system.
However, in the absence of market makers, there is no guarantee that orders will be executed.
All orders in the trading system need to be placed through brokers, many of which provide an online trading facility to retail customers.
Institutional investors can also take advantage of the direct market access (DMA) option in which they use trading terminals
provided by brokers for placing orders directly into the stock market trading system.

Settlement and Trading Hours

Equity spot markets follow a T+2 rolling settlement. This means that any trade taking place on Monday gets settled by Wednesday.
All trading on stock exchanges takes place between 9:55 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Indian Standard Time (+ 5.5 hours GMT), Monday through Friday.
Delivery of shares must be made in dematerialized form, and each exchange has its own clearing house, which assumes all settlement risk by serving as a central counterparty.

Market Indexes

The two prominent Indian market indexes are Sensex and Nifty. Sensex is the oldest market index for equities; it includes shares of 30 firms listed on the BSE,
which represent about 47% of the index’s free-float market capitalization. It was created in 1986 and provides time series data from April 1979, onward.

Another index is the Standard and Poor’s CNX Nifty; it includes 50 shares listed on the NSE, which represent about 46.9% of its free-float market capitalization.
It was created in 1996 and provides time series data from July 1990, onward.

Market Regulation

The overall responsibility of development, regulation, and supervision of the stock market rests with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI),
which was formed in 1992 as an independent authority. Since then, SEBI has consistently tried to lay down market rules in line with the best market practices.
It enjoys vast powers of imposing penalties on market participants, in case of a breach.

Emerging markets like India are fast becoming engines for future growth. Currently, only a very low percentage of the household savings of Indians are invested
in the domestic stock market, but with gross domestic product (GDP) growing at 7% to 8% annually for the last few years, though in the 6% range for 2018 and 2019,
and a stable financial market, we might see more money joining the race. Maybe it’s the right time for outside investors to seriously think about joining the India bandwagon.
