Paints is aiming higher than its current position as the third-largest paint maker in the country, following its acquisition of AkzoNobel’s decorative paints business.

MD Parth Jindal tells Business Standard in an interview. He outlines the key strategies being put in place to break into the top three.

AkzoNobel’s global CEO, Gregoire Poux-Guillaume, shares the company’s future plans in India after its partial exit, including a sharper focus on powder coatings, which have wide industrial applications. Excerpts:
