The India Tire Company, now defunct, was in the early days of tire and rubber making a real pioneer. The technology known as syping and micro syping were developed at India.
The process of combining carbon black with latex (raw rubber) to create harder, stronger molecular strength in tires was developed at India and continues in every tire made to this day. It is the primary reason that all tires are colored black. The carbon causes that, it has never been a matter of aesthetics.
India fell by the wayside due to management not being up to the challenges of expanding the company and possibly due to the idea that Britain would rule India forever and the brand "India" possibly didn't connote what people sought in tires at that time.
