Asahi Kasei Corp. has established Asahi Kasei India Pvt. Ltd. in Mumbai, India, as a base for market research and sales support in India, with operation beginning on March 1, 2013.
India is rapidly emerging as an important economy, with the world’s second largest population offering vast potential as a consumer market. Located in Mumbai, India’s commercial hub, Asahi Kasei India will enable timely and accurate discernment of market needs as the Asahi Kasei Group continues to expand business in India.
