Berger Paints Accelerates Business Growth with Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI
In advance of the Oracle CloudWorld Tour Mumbai on February 6 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Oracle announced that Berger Paints India Ltd., India’s second-largest paint company, has successfully migrated all its mission-critical on-premises databases to the Oracle Exadata Database Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Additionally, Berger Paints has transitioned its core business applications—including financial and accounting, process manufacturing, warehouse management, sales and services, and enterprise asset management—to OCI. This strategic move has resulted in a 25% improvement in operational efficiency and a 2X acceleration in report generation and response times, empowering the company to better serve its vast network of dealers and internal teams.
A Century of Innovation Meets Modern IT Infrastructure
Founded over a century ago, Berger Paints is a leader in the paint and coatings industry, offering a diverse range of products for decorative, industrial, and automotive applications. Catering to homeowners, contractors, and industrial clients, the company has experienced exponential growth, driven by its commitment to delivering customized premium solutions and the rapid surge in urbanization and infrastructure development. This growth, however, led to a 2.5X increase in database workloads, necessitating a modern IT infrastructure capable of scaling with demand while ensuring system uptime, adaptability, resilience, and disaster recovery capabilities.
To address these challenges, Berger Paints turned to Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI, leveraging its extreme performance, elastic scalability, high availability, and robust security features. The migration has not only streamlined operations but also laid the groundwork for deploying advanced technologies like AI and machine learning, propelling the company into its next phase of digital transformation.
“As a leader in paint and coating solutions, we continuously embrace technology to modernize our operations and meet our mission of continuous development and delivery of innovative, top-tier solutions for customers,” said Partha Protim Mondal, Chief Information Officer at Berger Paints India Ltd. “The migration to Oracle Exadata Database Service on OCI has played a crucial role in helping us improve operational efficiency and optimize costs. It has laid a solid foundation for us to deploy advanced technologies, such as AI and machine learning, to propel us into the next phase of digital transformation.”
Why Oracle Exadata Database Service Stands Out
The Oracle Exadata Database Service delivers proven Oracle Database capabilities on data-optimized and data-intelligent Oracle Exadata infrastructure within OCI. Designed to handle modern database workloads—such as AI, mission-critical transaction processing, and analytics—it enables organizations to run more databases faster while using fewer resources. Key benefits include:
- Extreme Performance: Optimized for demanding workloads, ensuring faster query responses and accelerated insights.

“India’s paints industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by urbanization, infrastructure development, technological advancements, and a shift toward premium and sustainable products,” said Premalakshmi PR, Vice President of Technology Cloud at Oracle India. “Oracle Exadata Database Service enables Berger Paints to streamline operations, accelerate decision-making, and enhance service delivery, effectively supporting Berger Paints’ business objectives.”
Leveraging OCI for Enhanced Business Continuity and Scalability
For its cloud migration, Berger Paints utilized the Oracle Cloud Hyderabad Region and Oracle Cloud Mumbai Region, taking advantage of OCI’s redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities to ensure business continuity. The company also adopted OCI Object Storage and OCI Block Volumes to gain quick access to large datasets, including database backups and analytical data.
The elasticity and simplified management capabilities of OCI have allowed Berger Paints to:
- Adapt Operations Dynamically: Easily manage demand surges and seasonal fluctuations without compromising performance.
- Optimize Costs: Scale resources efficiently to align with workload requirements, reducing unnecessary expenses.
- Enhance Performance: Achieve faster data access and processing, enabling quicker decision-making and improved customer service.
