The firm in question: Rajhans Enterprises; and the print and publisher at the helm is A Balachandra who says: "Rajhans Enterprises is a rag to riches kind of story. As an individual, I have grown only due to hard work. Also, I have made investment in machines like no other print firm in India has dared. I have purchased four brand new heatsets, five four and five-colour sheetfed presses and ten coldset web presses. We have installed 15 CTP systems, we have highest consumption of plates and ink in the country. Other than newspaper houses, we have the highest consumption rate with 22,000 plates in a month."

Nagsundar, the president of KOPA interviews A Balachandra for the fifth anniversary issue of PrintWeek India. The bumper issue (10 May 2013) also features "the first time anyone has looked at the unique print industry in Morbi plus a special spotlight on ITC Bhadrachalam's new factory".
