From Brick and Mortar to Click and Order

Our story doesn’t begin in a fancy corporate boardroom or a venture capital meeting. It begins in a humble stationery shop run by a man the entire neighborhood knew as Lambu Seth. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches, he was not just tall in stature but also in reputation—if you needed a pen, a rare notebook, or even an obscure artist’s brush, his shop had it all.

But as life often unfolds, his son—the future director of this company—took a different path. He started his career in the family’s construction business but soon realized that bricks and cement were not his true calling. Seeking stability, he moved to a semi-government job, where he spent decades navigating life’s challenges.

Through family disputes, his father’s ill health, and the trials of a joint family, he persevered. With sheer determination, he bought his own house, moved out, and carved his own destiny. He spent years working hard, ensuring financial stability for his family.

Yet, after retirement, something kept tugging at his heart—the unfinished dream of reviving his father’s legacy.

From Paper to Pixels – The Digital Leap

One fine evening, as I was on my balcony playing with Pihu, my beloved English Retriever, I casually asked my son,

“What do you think about starting a stationery shop? Like your grandfather’s?”

My son, a Ph.D. scholar from a renowned university and a business enthusiast, smiled and said,

“Dad, let’s not just open a shop—let’s take it online. Let’s bring Lambu Seth’s legendary collection to the digital world!”

I laughed.

“Beta, I can barely use all the features on my phone, and you’re talking about a website?”

My son assured me, “Don’t worry, it’s easy to learn.”

And so, the journey began. From learning how to navigate a smartphone properly to understanding the digital landscape, I embraced change. Slowly, I mastered online selling, digital marketing, and the art of customer service in the virtual world.

What started as a small family dream has now grown into one of the finest online stationery platforms, offering premium pens, exquisite writing instruments, and essential office supplies to customers nationwide.
