Our story

Ratan Behari Agrawal founded RB Colour in 1951. Over four decades he built it into the business known across India as Cock Brand — a name that means festival colour to a dealer network now more than ten thousand strong.

The manufacturing came first and still sets the pace. Colour is made on a corn-starch base with chemical-free raw materials, tested at intake, tested again during production, and checked before it leaves. The same plastics capability that makes pichkari for the Indian festival season makes water gadgets and toys for buyers abroad.

Garg Global Innovative Limited is the company that holds that manufacturing today. It runs three brands, sells its factory capacity to buyers who bring their own designs, and is part of a larger group of family companies working in colour, spices and food.

Anything genuine from the early decades — the first premises, an old pack, the founder at work.

A scan of a real print, imperfections kept. Seventy-five years is the strongest claim on the site and it currently has no picture.
