The industrialist who fused artistry and geometry

This happened when the country was used to importing colour.

He took over Camlin from his father, Digambar Dandekar. Camlin started in 1931 as an ink manufacturer and then started selling office stationery.

Talking about his brother, Chairman Dilip Dandekar said artists were not open to using Camlin's colours because they doubted the quality of the products. But, he convinced artists to use Camlin colours and also told them the company gave the guarantee for their paintings and that the colours would last.
