Shri Harcharan Singh

Born in Lyallpur (now Faislabad) in Pakistan, Mr. Harcharan Singh completed his education with Masters in Chemistry (honours) in 1960 from Punjab University. Thereafter, he worked with Sriram Institute of Industrial Research (SRIR) as a scientific officer for five years, where he was actively involved in research in the field of polymers and polymer additives.

Not content with the challenges offered to him at SRIR, he followed his dream to start an enterprise that would alter the image of the polymer additives industry of that time and in the years to come.

Mr. Singh started off in 1964, with low resources but big dreams, backed by his vision, zeal and entrepreneurial spirit to manufacture DPT, an import substitute for the first time in the country. He was alone, short on funds and business expertise, but had the grit & determination to chase his dreams, despite numerous challenges. It took him sometime, but soon with focus on quality and competitiveness, High Polymer Labs (as the company was known then), established itself as a reliable and high quality manufacturer in India.
