Message from the President.

Prof. (Dr.) Prakash Mahanwar

President – The Colour Society

Greetings to All Members, Industry Partners, and Well-Wishers,

It is an honour to welcome you to The Colour Society. For over seven decades, this institution has stood as a symbol of knowledge, collaboration, and progress in the world of Paints, Coatings, Inks, Plastics, and Colour Science. Our journey has always been driven by people — students eager to learn, researchers striving to innovate, and industry leaders shaping new possibilities.

Today, we find ourselves in an exciting era of transformation. Sustainability, digitalization, performance innovation, and global standards are redefining how our industry thinks and creates. In this time of change, The Colour Society remains a guiding light — connecting tradition with modernity, experience with curiosity, and science with real-world application.

Our continued mission is to empower knowledge, inspire leadership, and strengthen the technical fabric of our industry.

For many years, our Diploma Programs in Paint Technology and Ink Technology have enabled students and professionals to grow with confidence and clarity. The increasing participation and the success stories of our learners stand as testimony to the value these programs bring to the community.

Our Vision Forward

As we step into the future, we are expanding our educational horizon. In addition to our Diploma programs, we are planning to introducing a series of Online Core Courses — designed to deepen technical understanding, encourage self-paced learning, and make advanced coatings education accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Our vision is simple and powerful:

To build a learning ecosystem where knowledge has no boundaries.

Where students from any city, any background, at any stage in life, can gain the skills to grow, lead, and contribute to our industry.

These courses will not only strengthen fundamentals, but also nurture curiosity, ignite research-driven thinking, and prepare the next generation of professionals who will drive innovation with responsibility and purpose.

As we continue this journey, I warmly invite each one of you — industry colleagues, academicians, young learners, and lifelong professionals — to join hands with us. Your participation, mentorship, ideas, and presence shape the very identity of The Colour Society.

Let us move forward together — to learn more, create more, and inspire more.

Thank you for being an integral part of our Colour Society family.
