Company Brief

Neelikon’s emergence as a major dye producer is attributed to its Managing Director, Mukund Turakhia. Mr. Turakhia is a renowned Chemical Engineer, with a 40-year association in the dyestuffs and chemical industry. He was responsible for introducing indigenous technology for the production of food dye in India in 1973-1974. For this, he was presented a National Award from the President of India. He has also received the Highest Export Award from CHEMEXCIL - A Government of India Export Promotion Council, for the export of Synthetic Indigo Dye (1977-1978).
