DRAWDOWN

FIFTY YEARS OF COATES OF INDIA  1947-1997

by

Sujoy Gupta

DIC unusual attribute is its profound sense of history. This book, traces its root back to 1877.

Although DIC India was formally born on April 2, 1947, it had been preceded since 1937 by the lesser presence of its parent in this country. This presence, too, took six decades in its making.

The whole story is one of extraordinary personalities, startling ups and downs, tumultuous changes and uncertinities and also of a remarkable success.

By commemorating its Golden Jubilee with this volume, DIC India pays its founders a well deserved tribute, acknowledges the richness of its past heritage and at the same time makes a quiet statement of confidence in the future.
