Kansai Nerolac needs fresh coat to improve margins

Weighed down by stiff competition, the company has shed 1,172 crore over the past two weeks in mcap.

India's largest decorative paint company in terms of mcap, expects double-digit growth in the industrial segment and aims to maintain margins, but its performance in decorative paints could suffer amid competition.

The company's Q4 revenue rose by 3.5 per cent compared to the same period last year but was below consensus estimates.

The decorative paints business grew 10 per cent in volume but the value growth remained flat due to a negative price and product mix effect of 9-10 per cent. The company reduced prices when it had a higher proportion of commodity products such as putty.

Indian GCCs: Captives to e-twins

Global capability centres (GCCs) in India have come a long way from the early 1990s when they were referred to as 'captives' of their global headquarters (HQs) to today, when they are emerging as the 'digital twins\" of their HQs, replicating the work done at their parent organisations and adding more value than ever before.
