Introduction
In June 2012, the India-based Luxor Group, a well-known manufacturer of writing instruments, ventured into the cleaning products market under a new subsidiary, Luxor Nano Technology Pvt Ltd. Experts were skeptical whether the group would be able to leverage on its existing brand name and image to succeed in the new segment. The Luxor Group, which was incorporated in 1963 by D.K Jain (Jain), emerged as a market leader within a decade of its inception in the writing instruments industry by bringing world-famous brands to the Indian consumer market under the Luxor Group's umbrella. It brought in the Pilot brand in 1982, Parker in 1996, Papermate in 1999, and Waterman in 2003..
