West Bengal Urban Development and Municipal Affairs Minister, Firhad Hakim, presided over the function as the Chief Guest.   

"It is really a matter of pride for us to have our Orient Tile Boutique in Kolkata -- the city of vibrant culture," said Daga. "OCIL eagerly looks forward to consolidating its dominating presence in the Eastern and North Eastern markets, and to enhance its already prominent market share in these territories.From our Kolkata OTB, we will also cater to the needs of emerging markets in Orissa and Jharkhand, which promises improved opportunity in coming years. It is evident that in recent times the market has shown signs of being more conducive to growth and Orient shall therefore look at becoming an even more prominent player in the market"

Speaking on the occasion, Hakim, said, "The people of Kolkata will now get to experience world-class products offered by Orient. I wish Orient success for this venture and hope the company has a bigger and even more prominent presence in the state.

Mr. Vijay Shankar Sharma, CEO of Orient Ceramics and Industries also expressed his pleasure with the opening. "This Orient Tile Boutique will provide an exemplary experience to our valued customers and showcase OCIL's brands: Orient, Stiler and recently launched Orient International," he said.
