Company History

 

 

Subject, meaning progress in Sanskrit, was started in 1962 by Shri Paruchuri Hanumantha Rao, a journalist, with the dream of establishing a top-of-the-line printing house.

 

Subject moved forward, with Shri Hanumanth Rao’s sons Mr. Narendra Paruchuri and Mr. Mahendra Paruchuri pitching in their expertise and knowledge to modernize Subject with a drive to keep pace with the latest technology and to produce the best results, equipment and material was sourced from leading international manufacturers and vendors. Their passion for good quality printing and design, deep knowledge and understanding of technology involved, combined with hands-on work experience at the shop floor level, saw Shri Hanumantha Rao's dream come true.


Subject was the first company to introduce Phototypesetting in South India in 1979 and started offering typesetting services to the customers bringing in revolutionary changes in typography and the quality of type. This brought many customers to Subject, who have remained with them since then.


The first 4-colour offset printing press was introduced in 1985, and Subject went on to install India’s first printing Press with computer controlled register, ink-key setting and dampening in 1988. Subject remains a pioneer, being the first to install CIP3 compliant presses & high-end commercial CTP devices in India. They were also among the first to offer online aqueous coating as well as Spot UV Coating technologies to the market.


Subject was first to introduce high-end Computer-to-Plate technology in India which eliminated manual preparation of plates from films output on Imagesetter. This technology helped improve productivity apart from good quality reproduction.


A simple but focused philosophy, “Produce the highest quality product in the least amount of time at a good price-performance ratio" has seen Subject grow from strength to strength. And along the way, Subject has built up sound client relationships – so much so that Subject is perceived not merely as a supplier of printed materials, but as a partner.


As with clients, a strong relationship has been established with employees as well. The work force at Subject is in fact its biggest asset - the first binder and press operator are still employed & active.


Every aspect of Subject’s business exudes professionalism and progress, at the same time not forgetting that it’s still the old-fashioned ideals like quality, trust and loyalty that make Subject successful.
