Asian Paints Expands Deployment of o9’s Artificial Intelligence to Procurement
Asian Paints has successfully transformed its procurement planning by implementing o9 Solutions’ cloud-based, artificial intelligence platform. o9 and Asian Paints partnered to engineer the “Purchaser’s Workbench” platform specifically for the latter’s unique business needs.
The Purchaser’s Workbench provides Asian Paints with advanced exception based coverage monitoring and visibility to potential stockouts, which are determined by intelligent rules that vary by raw material categories. With full visibility into inventory, planners can run what-if scenarios, and determine prescriptive options, such as expediting a purchase order, creating a new purchase requisition, or directing an inter-plant transfer of material. The options selected are communicated back to the ERP system in real time.
“Like so many other areas of our platform, the Purchaser’s Workbench puts the right information in front of the right people, at the right time, so that they can make smarter decisions faster than ever before,” said Chakri Gottemukkla, CEO and co-founder of o9 Solutions. “It provides essential decision-management support that ensures adequate coverage of raw materials and facilitates discussions with suppliers.”
Prior to its go-live with Purchaser’s Workbench, Asian Paints successfully implemented the o9 platform for a sales intelligence program that supported more than 1,000 mobile users, as well as a demand planning process that refined statistical forecasts by incorporating market intelligence from the sales people geographically dispersed in the field. Because of this bold expansion, Asian Paints now has real-time visibility into all of its key data points, sales personnel can have more informed conversations with their dealers, and those personnel are achieving a new level of trust in their market.
“Asian Paints selected us for three reasons: They are a technology leader that selects best-of-breed vendors, o9 delivers next-generation planning capabilities, and our track record of wide user adoption instilled them with a sense of trust for this deployment,” said Sanjiv Sidhu, chairman and co-founder of o9. “Doing business with Asian Paints is thrilling and I wish them continued success in their digital transformation journey.”
Asian Paints had sales of $2.59 billion for 2017. Architectural/decorative coatings comprised 90 percent of sales and industrial and automotive coatings comprised the rest.

Financial Results
“The Decorative paint business in India registered double digit volume growth in the current quarter with improved demand conditions. Material prices continued to witness an upward trend thereby exerting pressure on margins which was mitigated to an extent by the price increases taken. Good demand conditions in the Auto OEM and General Industrial business segment led to improved performance of the Automotive coatings JV (PPG-AP). The performance of Industrial Coatings JV (AP-PPG) saw an improvement in the current quarter based on good growth registered in the Powder Coatings segment.
“In the International Operations, Units in Nepal, Bangladesh and Oman witnessed good topline growth. Overall performance of the International portfolio was impacted by unfavorable demand conditions, issues around availability of forex in certain key units along with rising input price pressures across markets. Both the segments in the Home Improvement category viz. the Kitchen (Sleek) and Bath (Ess Ess) business, delivered good topline growth in the quarter,” said K.B.S. Anand, managing director and CEO.
The Asian Paints Colour Academy
The Asian Paints Colour Academy is equipped with modern facilities such as fully equipped classroom with modern A/V facilities, clean and fully equipped modern workshops for hands on trainings, inspiration area and contractor resource center in order to continually upskill existing painters into specialists.
The Academy also provides vocational training to unskilled youth on basic and specialized painting techniques to enable them to develop marketable skills. The Colour Academy operates in three formats:
Asian Paints partnered with the National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) to strengthen the delivery of this program to both unskilled and semi-skilled individuals. While Asian Paints provides technical know-how, prepare training content and deliver training modules; NSDC monitors, evaluates and certifies participants who complete the training program. On successful completion, participants are awarded an NSDC certification based on National Occupation Standards set by NSDC’s Construction Sector Skills Council. Painter training is structured professionally and includes a mix of theoretical, practical demonstration and hands-on learning with a regular schedule of assessment to track progress. All courses delivered are aligned to NSDC’s National Occupational Standards certification. All courses are certified by the Govt. of India. The contractors can undergo advanced trainings at a later stage in their city. Asian Paints has till now given NSDC certifications to 9,000 painters/contractors.
Colour Academy is now transforming itself into a pure vocational training setup delivered through a collection of modules – which together enhance specific skills. This will equip individuals with self-employable skills or develop specialist skills to provide additional painting and allied services. Going forward we plan to further expand the scope of this project.
Asian Paints had sales of $2.60 billion for 2016. Architectural/decorative coatings comprised 90 percent of sales and industrial and automotive coatings comprised the rest.
“The decorative business segment in India registered a low double digit growth in the current quarter after witnessing some recovery from the impact of demonetization,” said K.B.S. Anand, managing director and CEO, Asian Paints. “Raw material prices have moved up over the last two quarters necessitating price increases to protect margins.
Good demand conditions in the auto OEM and general industrial business segment led to improved performance of the automotive coatings JV (PPG-AP). In the industrial coatings JV (AP-PPG), industrial liquid paints, road marking paints and powder coatings segment registered good growth.”
He noted that the company’s international business performed well aided by strong performance in markets like Nepal, Jamaica, Fiji, Oman and Bahrain. “Egypt was impacted by the devaluation of the local currency; whereas shortage of raw materials on account of unavailability of foreign exchange affected Ethiopia operations,” Anand stated. “Both the segments in the Home Improvement category viz. the Kitchen (Sleek) and Bath (ESS ESS) business, delivered good topline growth in the quarter.”
Asian Paints has launched its new painting service called Ezycolour Home Solutions with the intention of taking the pain out of painting.
In the form of a musical satire, the brand changes the perception of a home-owner who expects the painting team of Ezycolour to miss their deadline. The film aims to change viewers perceptions on how a company can deliver on-time service.
Amit Syngle, presiden, Asian Paints said, “The consumer proposition of “On-time painting” solves a perennial issue of delays in home décor and creates an instant connect.
The use of mechanized tools from Asian Paints ensure we always finish the work on time. This has been brought to life brilliantly in the film by the creative team.”
Asian Paints Names Intense Ocean Color of the Year
Asian Paints announced Intense Ocean as it 2017 color of the year. The color is described as greener than blue, bluer than grey. The green, stable and enduring like the color of the Anahata Chakra (the heart chakra in yogic tradition); the blue, deep and calm; and the grey undertone, mature — brightening the soft and softening the harsh. “If the pursuit of balance had a hue, it would be this. Reflecting the mood of a people waiting to exhale, Colour of the year paints the hope and resolve of the times we live in, in one fluid stroke,” Asian Paints stated.
