RODIM, the BASF-backed global specialist in advanced paint protection solutions, has inaugurated its first exclusive authorized brand store in India under the name “Perfect Finish” in Faridabad. The launch, carried out in partnership with Pranav Sharma, CEO of Perfect Finish, marks a significant step toward building a technology-driven and professional ecosystem for India’s growing automotive detailing industry.
With the opening of the dedicated brand store, RODIM aims to bring its global expertise in paint protection, detailing technologies, and premium automotive surface solutions closer to Indian consumers and automotive enthusiasts. The initiative also reflects the increasing demand for high-quality vehicle protection and detailing services in the country’s premium automotive market.
The event follows the successful Global Launch of the flagship R-Star Paint Protection Film (PPF) at Automechanika. RODIM is now focused on strengthening its retail footprint through branded experience stores that prioritize customer experience and professional installation standards. Beyond premium services, the Faridabad store will serve as a vital training center. Here, RODIM partners will master the latest installation techniques, designed to improve quality and maximize profitability by reducing material wastage during PPF applications.
The store was inaugurated by a distinguished leadership team from BASF, including Mr. Andy Wong (Head of Business Management, Direct Importers, APAC), Mr. Sooraj Kapur (Sales & Marketing Manager, South Asia), and Mr. Ram Kumar Gaur (Assistant Business Development Manager), accompanied by Mr. Ruchir Malhotra and Mr. Sachin Ahuja, Co-Founders and Managing Partners of Sheen Automotive 360 LLP, the sole importers and distributors for RODIM in India. The brand store concept is set for a nationwide rollout.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Andy Wong, Head of Business Management, Direct Importers, APAC, stated, “This brand store represents RODIM’s long-term commitment to the Indian market. Our vision is to transform the largely unorganised detailing sector into a professional, structured business ecosystem.”
Mr. Amresh Khar, Senior Vice President, highlighted the community-led nature of the launch: “The milestone marks a significant step towards building a structured, technology-driven, and premium ecosystem for the automotive detailing industry in the country. The presence of leading automotive detailers from across India reflects the rising demand for premium protection solutions. We are balancing global technological excellence with Indian market sensibilities, affordability, and emotional value.”
Mr. Ruchir Malhotra, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Sheen Automotive 360 LLP, added, “Professional detailers have embraced RODIM’s global quality post-Automechanika. These premium outlets will accelerate growth while setting new benchmarks for service quality.”
Mr. Sachin Ahuja, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Sheen Automotive 360 LLP, highlighted that, “The company plans to empower existing channel partners to upgrade their studios into world-class facilities.”
With India serving as the site for RODIM’s first global product launch, the country remains a cornerstone of the brand’s global expansion strategy, reinforcing its strategic importance in long-term growth plans.
