largest paint company. Asian Paints operates in 19 countries and has 26 paint manufacturing facilities in
the world, servicing consumers in over 65 countries.

 As a world-class training institution,
Asian Paints Colour Academy helps in
creating modern age paint applicators
and decorators.

Asian Paints has been engaged in training painters on new finishes, techniques, modern paints and
technology since 2005. It all started with the requirement of training contractors for our professional
painting setup - Asian Paints Ezycolour Home Solutions. The training then was focused mostly on

O L O U R A C A D E MY customer service, behaviour at site along with novel ideas of masking and hygiene requirements of site

C evaluation. Initially this training setup was called 'Asian Paints Training Centre' whose training was limited
to the requirements of Asian Paints Ezycolour Home Solutions. In the following years, training painters saw
a genesis in seeding a new finish which required skilled application - 'Royal Play'. Royal Play became the
defector training which was given to already existing painters. The training indeed helped them offer
something new to customers and in-turn earn more from their daily work. In 2008 Asian Paints setup its
first Colour Academy in Chennai to train painters and contractors from the market.
