Merging business acumen and capital with talent, Ruchira Printing and Packaging company, a group company of Ruchira Group has recently invested in finishing equipment and has grabbed one of the hottest growth figures in the printing and packaging area. And capital investment is likely to be a blueprint for the future for this print packager.

"Yes, we have achieved a 40% growth and a turnover of Rs 23-crore last year and are targeting to up the turnover to Rs 40-crore mark during this year," said Luck Garg, one of the directors at Ruchira Group.
