History

DOMS was founded in 1976 as a partnership firm, R.R. Industries, by Rasiklal Amritlal Raveshia and Mansukhlal Jamnadas Rajani. In 2005, the company launched its flagship brand, DOMS. [3] [5]

In 2012, DOMS entered into a strategic partnership with F.I.L.A. – Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini S.p.A (F.I.L.A.), Italy, a listed Italian multinational company engaged in the supply of art materials and stationery products. This partnership enabled DOMS to gain access to international markets for distribution of its products. [6]

In 2017, Famous Innovations was awarded to be responsible for developing and executing creative campaigns for DIL's stationery portfolio. [7]

Doms also acquired 30% stake in toy company ClapJoy. [8] [9] [10]

In 2023, Doms launched its initial public offering (IPO) worth ₹1,200 crore (US$150 million) and listed on BSE and NSE. [11] [12] [1]
