Ach! I just lost the entire content of this post to the cyber netherworld. Darn!

It seems to me that there were one or two others who made the same suggestion that Asian Paints might be the partner/distributor suggested in the HCTI PR.

The recent third failure for PPG to buy AkzoNobel has given rise to numerous alternatives, and the suggestion of a PPG buyout of HCT is of course one we see mentioned here...(probably nowhere else either!)

Then again we see a 50/50 partnership of PPG and Asian Paints all the way back to 2011, which predates the PPG buyout of Comex (2013).

While I seriously doubt PPG has given up on the A/N deal if the HCT partner/distributor in Asia is in fact Asian Paints this would add substance and strength to an even greater HCTI/PPG connection, to which most, if not all of us would not oppose.

Good luck with your research.
