Your Color specialist since 1972
From Christmas themed cookies to chocolate modaks(an Indian sweet), colours are the wizards that assist our sense of sight to fool our other senses. Human taste food with their eyes long before it is served to tantalize the taste.
An instrumental ingredient, color also reflects the quality of the food and the ingredients behind a food product. A psychophysical phenomenon, color's presence is undeniable across food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industry.
Just like a vibrant dish with explosion of colors definitely seems a feast of flavor for our taste sense,shiny eyeliners and metallic glitters appeal to our eyes.
Color reflectiveness not only helps us to differentiate in the appearance of matte, translucent and transparent products, it also helps in differentiating the intensity of pharmaceutical products.

Non-executive Chairman
Starting in the company as an intern in 2008, Mahesh was put through the grind by his father Mr. Ramakant Tibrewala. From commercials to other aspects of finance; from sales to marketing; from HR to quality control: he was made to go through intensive training in all departments of the company.
After 2 years of training, he was absorbed in the sales division and started visiting customers across the world, giving him exposure of different cultures and thought processes.
This travel has been his biggest learning curve and has sharpened his vision for Roha Dyechem on a global scale. Having proved his abilities in the sales division in 2 years, his father slowly backed out of the day to day operations and handed over the entire Commercial department to him.
After an initial few months of struggle, Mahesh found his feet and made the most of this opportunity to showcase his skills and develop as a leader in the organization. Under his stewardship of the commercials department, Roha Dyechem, today has more than doubled revenues with profits having grown almost 4 times.
