According to the owner, Kishore Hathiyani, relying on Konica Minolta was a strategic choice rooted in his early career. “When I was a salaried employee, I was already using Konica Minolta. They introduced the MCC contract (meter count charged contract), which provided us with a fixed cost and the confidence to scale without worrying about maintenance overheads,” he recalled.
Founded in 2015 by two brothers, Kishore Hathiyani and Naresh Hathiyani, who transitioned from salaried employees to entrepreneurs, Majestic Print Solutions has grown from a small shop in Worli to a multi-unit operation. The Konica Minolta presses remain the primary workhorses, handling the bulk of the firm’s daily output of 15,000 copies per day.
The company’s reputation was built on its ability to deliver high-quality results under tight deadlines, made possible by the AccurioPress C12010S's reliability. “In our business, the machine should never be closed to the customer,” Kishore explained. He noted that the relationship with Konica Minolta is so close that the brand has deployed a dedicated service engineer to the area to ensure that any technical issues are resolved within hours, maintaining the 18-19% per annum growth the company has enjoyed.
A key driver for its latest expansion is the installation of a five-station production printer with the capability to print white (beyond CMYK) via an inline-underlay station. This installation is the first of its kind in the Western region.
“The reason why I have taken white instead of CMYK is that the density of white is higher than that of other companies. So, when you have to print only white or add four colours on white, the density is higher, and the quality is better,” Kishore explained. “The reason for taking white is that the label on the jars of FMCG is mostly transparent. Because of that, the demand for FMCGs' transparent label plus white printing is increasing. To fulfil that demand, we decided to take white instead of four colours.”
By leveraging this technology, Majestic Print Solutions is looking to create a differentiating factor in a cluttered market, staying ahead of competitors and creating a niche that will provide a significant impetus to overall volume.
This technological backbone has enabled Majestic to tackle complex assignments, including high-impact marketing materials like 13x28-inch real estate banners. A notable project involved a luxury real estate book for Birla Trimaya in Bengaluru, which required a custom-engineered 3D door-knocker on the cover and a heavy-duty binding process. By leveraging digital precision, the firm provided a prototype and a final run of 2,000 copies that met exacting standards for tactile feel and visual appeal. The project was delivered within two days after the prototype was approved, using two eight-hour shifts with 12 people working on it.
Operating from a 3,000-square-feet shop floor within the Shah and Nahar Industrial Estate, the company scaled its footprint post-pandemic to better serve its corporate clientele. With 25 employees and a production schedule that scales to 24-hour shifts during the peak season from July to December, the Konica Minolta systems are pushed to their optimised capacity to meet the demands of Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, and the wedding season.
Beyond the hardware, Kishore credits the partnership’s success to personal accountability. The service level is so high that the Konica Minolta lead engineer is considered part of the extended family, ensuring that even midnight breakdowns are addressed via phone or on-site visits. This support allowed the firm to expand into a second unit in 2023 for corporate gifting and a third in 2025 for specialised digital work.
Maintaining a grounded philosophy, the owner emphasises that the machine is only as good as the person understanding it. “You need to stay consistent and ensure that the technology you invest in is backed by people who stand by you,” he concluded.
