Tender leaves and flowers of purple mountain saxifrage plant emerging through solid rocks is epitome of a resilient life. The plant is responsive to challenges and is rising against odds.
A successful business endures, sustains and grows like the plant. It is our endeavour to see that we build a resilient, responsive and rising business. The gift of Values binds us and helps us in this journey.
Let me pray not to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.
- Rabindranath Tagore

70 years of operations
Incorporated on September 05, 1947, the story of Atul is closely linked to that of independent India. The Company is the first private sector enterprise of the country to be inaugurated by its first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. It was established to generate employment on a large-scale, create wealth in rural areas and become self-sufficient in selected chemicals then totally imported.
Atul has been serving the society since its incorporation in step with the tradition of its legendary Founder, Kasturbhai Lalbhai.

A business model is not a mere representation of the operations of an organisation, but is one that is endeavouring to create, deliver and capture value. Ultimately, it is tested against time and adversity. When an organisation and its approach sustain through volatile and uncertain business cycles and still create, deliver and capture value for the stakeholders, then they can well be called a model business.
Our business model puts the customer at the centre of the business and decision-making and provides a foundation for future growth. We strive for innovation and excellence in select chemistries to delight our customers with our consistently superior quality, competent prices and valuable technical services. We aim to create lasting value and deliver benefits to our customers and the economies and communities we operate in.
