INDUSTRY PROFILE &
COMPANY PROFILE
COMPANY PROFILE
Established in 1923, Berger Paints India Restricted (in the future alluded to as
Berger), has constructed a 'heritage' to turn into a leading paint producer in India and
is one of the main 15 worldwide paint organizations regarding income. We are
bringing hassle free home painting administrations that changes each home, while
keeping our clients protected and agreeable. Throughout the long term, we have
acquired the trust of our partners, including providers, sellers, clients, vendors,
shoppers, workers and investors which has filled in as the groundwork of our drawn
out organizations, as we keep on thriving in the powerful paint industry. With 25
assembling plants (counting plants of auxiliaries) in India, alongside two in Nepal,
one each in Poland and Russia, we guarantee opportune stock and predominant
quality items. Our container India presence is fortified by a hearty dispersion
organization of north of 60,000 vendors and retailers and 184 stock stations, which
empowers us to arrive at clients across private, business and modern areas.
Today, we offer a different arrangement of excellent paints for both modern
and enhancing use, alongside creative arrangements, for example, waterproofing and
express canvas administrations. With development at the front line and scaling the
business to have an enduring effect on the world, we have taken huge steps for the
most recent few decades. This has supported us in fostering an imaginative product
offering up, finding some kind of harmony between keeping our clients cheerful and
financial backers enchanted. At Berger, we have consistently strived to entwine the
supportability plan into our business goals and considered maintainability center a
vital driver of long haul esteem creation.
For the benefit of the Board and the whole administration group at Berger, I'm
profoundly thankful to every one of you for being a piece of our groundbreaking
process for almost a long period. As we consider Berger's excursion across many
years and its significant effect on India's paints and coatings industry, we are loaded
up with trust, positive thinking and a profound feeling of obligation to maintain the
heritage.
I have had the honor of being a piece of this excursion starting around 1991,
when I took over as the Director of Berger Paints to assist with graphing its excursion
to significance.
We had sincerely committed to a responsibility then to endeavor to meet the
ever evolving needs of our clients, regardless of what the difficulties. This expected
us to be at the vanguard of advancement, quality affirmation, and consumer loyalty in
the business.
Our progress in reliably meeting client assumptions has been the chief
justification for our proceeded with outcome in such a long time. In this cycle, we
have been helped by many exceptionally energetic and serious colleagues, who went
past their extraordinary mission at hand to demonstrate their value and arise as the
main impetus of the association.
It has hence been an issue of extraordinary pride for me to have managed the
thirty years during which Berger rose from being the loafer No. 5 in the Indian paint
industry to being among the four biggest paint organizations in Asia and among the 7
biggest beautifying paint organizations on the planet. Together, we painted Berger's
lively story of development.
Presently coming to the higher perspective that unfurled before us in FY23,
the Indian economy has without a doubt endured the worldwide log jam far superior
than numerous different economies of tantamount size and haul. At Berger, we
watched out for our development pipeline, both for sending off new items and for new
administrations, and have been very effective in bringing to the market a wide exhibit
of fruitful arrangements.
Given the condition of the world economy and the full scale financial climate,
we were aware of the should be monetarily mindful even as we benefited from all
suitable open doors for development. Different measures were taken to hold working
costs under control and to keep up with our record of productive development. This
was upheld by dispatches of well-informed and imaginative items, client amicable
administrations, improved item definitions, profoundly proficient stockpile pipeline
and extending dissemination reach.
We have seen wonderful development somewhere in the range of 2001 and
2023, outperforming the Gross domestic product development by a decent measure.
Nonetheless, we have never attempted to speed up development by playing the value
card and coming down on our regarded clients. Indeed, even as incomes were jogging
at 22x in this period, our benefits in a similar period developed at an uncommon pace
of 33x.
This equivalent period hurled the difficulties of demonetization, GST and
Coronavirus. Nonetheless, where others saw an emergency, we saw an open door. We
remained consistent with our authoritative ethos of zeroing in on the buyer and
improved altogether, putting accentuation on administrations and arising item
sections, and developed while conveying heavenly and productive development to our
partners.
Where productivity meets greatness We constantly embrace state of the art
advances that further develop fabricating efficiencies and take on earth mindful
assembling rehearses. For example, our most recent plant at Sandila in UP, that
became functional in February this year, is totally computerized and a zero liquid
release plant. Large numbers of our previous plants have been overhauled and
retrofitted with fresher advances particularly rooftop top sun based power plants
coming about in 66,41,152 kwh of power created through sun oriented power in FY
22-23.
Our dispersion reach has filled essentially lately with Berger adding north of
8,000 retailers in the last monetary year alone and proceeding to add more
consistently. Today, we utilize a critical degree of digitalization to drive effectiveness,
improve expenses and upgrade client experience. We utilize advanced instruments for
project the board, market observation, project assessment, variety determination,
planning and invoicing, including information examination to comprehend client
conduct and market patterns.
Moreover, Darwin Box for human asset the board and for production network
the executives have been among the numerous arrangements carried out, which have
sped up decision-production altogether. The utilization of simulated intelligence
empowered arrangements is very pervasive across capabilities and we are additionally
utilizing it to improve the customer administration experience. We are likewise
persuaded of the need to additional upgrade the level of digitalization across the
association.
Reinforcing our image value Berger appreciates sizeable brand value among
Indian purchasers, because of the inborn client centricity in its center business values,
upheld by a reliable showcasing effort to its customers. At Berger, we perceive the
need to consistently associate with, draw in, illuminate, teach our clients and utilize
both conventional and trendy media to do as such.
We endeavor to recount convincing stories utilizing appealing characters and
organized client encounters. A portion of our brands likewise have big name
powerhouses yet these choices are painstakingly taken as we are cognizant of the
requirement for our promoting to reliably mirror our character, fundamental beliefs
and the extraordinary selling recommendations of our image.
Laying out an unmistakable brand character is significant as it builds up brand
review in the personalities of customers. For almost hundred years, our dynamic
heritage has woven an embroidery of trust, greatness and development, contacting the
existences of millions of individuals in India and a lot other topography. It has been a
significant excursion of marvelous development and devoted execution, crossing an
endless flow of achievements.
We have achieved 22x deals development in 22 years and 33x working benefit
development in 22 years, building up our industry height and brand notoriety.
Heritage for us is certainly not a static word, however a call to steady activity and
effort to partners to construct a greater, better and bolder Berger Paints.
Upheld by a favorable full scale financial climate, government's accentuation
on framework improvement, young Segment with yearnings, and simpler admittance
to credit, we are hopeful of astounding development in volumes and worth added
items before very long. Engaged by a lively heritage, we are speeding up our
development direction with center around item and cycle development, execution
greatness and partner trust.
The portion of advanced media in our arrangement has been step by step
expanding, similar to the pattern around the world. Computerized promoting spends
have risen four-crease over the most recent two years and will go on in a similar
direction.
The extravagance item portfolio is being created utilizing the computerized
course. Augmenting esteem across topographies Our expressed mission is and
provoking workplace to our groups. Away from India, we stick to similar culture of
development and seriousness in different geologies where we are available. We are
available in Nepal, Russia, Poland and through step-down auxiliaries, in the UK,
