Paints and Coatings Skill Council was incorporated in October 2015 under Section 8 of The Companies Act 2013 as a not for profit company. It is backed by industry bodies such as The Indian Paint Association (IPA), Indian Small Scale Paint Association (ISSPA) and Indian Paints and Coatings Association (IPCA). By combining standardised curriculums with sophisticated assessment tools for quality assurance, the council aims to promote and develop an ecosystem necessary to fill the skill gaps and meet the evolving challenges across all trades in the industry.
