Techno Paints and Chemicals has announced the appointment of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar as its brand ambassador for a three-year tenure, signalling the company’s strategic push to expand its footprint nationally. With 25 years of operations across eight Indian states, the company is leveraging Tendulkar’s recognition to strengthen brand visibility ahead of a planned initial public offering (IPO) and wider market expansion.
Industry analysts note that aligning with high-profile public figures can accelerate brand trust and awareness, particularly in consumer segments where quality perception and legacy play a crucial role in purchase decisions. By associating with a figure of Tendulkar’s stature, the company aims to consolidate its position in India’s competitive paints sector, which is currently valued at around ₹90,000 crore and growing at an annual rate of 5–9 percent. Techno Paints, which manufactures decorative, industrial, and specialty coatings, has also been active in the redevelopment and urban construction segments. Its portfolio includes over 3,000 shades of decorative paints and a focus on special texture finishes and construction chemicals. The company operates a dedicated research and development centre in Hyderabad and a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Pashamylaram, supplying both residential and commercial projects. Current operations span Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Odisha, and Chandigarh, with plans to expand to Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh within the year.
According to a senior company official, revenue is projected to increase from ₹210 crore in 2024–25 to ₹450 crore in the current fiscal year, with a long-term target of ₹2,000 crore by 2029–30. The company intends to raise ₹500 crore through its forthcoming IPO in the 2026–27 period. Experts suggest that this growth trajectory reflects both the underpenetrated domestic market—India’s per capita paint consumption stands at 4.5 litres, below the global average of 15 litres—and the rising demand for sustainable and high-quality coatings in urban development projects. On the execution front, Techno Paints has completed over 1,250 projects, spanning residential, industrial, commercial, and hospitality sectors, covering a painted area exceeding 180 crore square feet. It currently manages more than 5,000 professional painters and is undertaking large-scale projects such as painting 26,065 schools in Telangana. Analysts highlight that efficient project delivery combined with brand-led visibility strengthens the company’s competitive advantage, particularly in a fragmented sector.
By integrating celebrity endorsement with operational scale, Techno Paints is positioning itself to capitalise on domestic growth and explore international markets, including the Middle East in 2026–27. The move reflects a broader trend in Indian manufacturing and real estate-adjacent industries, where brand credibility, operational efficiency, and sustainable product offerings are increasingly intertwined.
