We are more of a specialty product company: DuPont South Asia President

'Strategically, we are looking at what are the major trends in India', said Anupam Jaiswal

After a merger with Dow Chemical Company in 2015, DuPont, one of the largest chemical business entities in the world, went through internal change. Anupam Jaiswal, president, DuPont, South Asia, talks to Shine Jacob on its shift towards a speciality products and solutions major. Edited excerpts:

You underwent some structural changes this year? 

It began with our merger with Dow. It was announced in 2015 and came to fusion in 2017. Then, we kind of split into three companies in 2019. Basically, we were trying to create standalone companies that would be successful in their own field.
