A Century of Growth and Innovation
Reflecting on the journey, Mr. Abhijit Roy, MD & CEO of Berger Paints India Ltd, stated, “From our inception in Bengal to reaching our centenary milestone, we have remained committed to the state’s economic progress.

Founded in 1923 with a modest facility in Howrah, Berger Paints has grown into a global leader, now ranked as the 7th largest architectural coatings company worldwide.
The company has played a vital role in some of India’s most prestigious projects, from painting the Indian Parliament House and Vande Bharat trains to the Kolkata Metro and Wankhede Stadium.
