Having a Scholar Friend for Generations!

For nearly seven decades, Scholar has quietly accompanied the journeys of students, professionals, artists, and businesses across India. Founded in 1958 by Late Bachubhai Shah, the brand began as a modest notebook manufacturing venture in Mumbai. Built on a belief in the power of education and the value of well-made stationery, Scholar steadily grew into a trusted name known for quality, reliability, and thoughtful design. Over the years, the brand expanded under the leadership of Shashikant Shah, who strengthened its manufacturing capabilities and built strong relationships with retailers, institutions, and businesses across India. One of the company’s most recognisable products, the iconic Scholar Red Loose Leaf Pad, has remained a familiar presence on desks in offices for generations. Today, Scholar continues to evolve under the leadership of the Shah family’s next generation. Mihir Shah, Managing Director, leads product development, design direction, and manufacturing innovation, while Kathan Shah heads the company’s sales and corporate customisation initiatives, working closely with businesses across industries to develop branded stationery solutions. Operating from its 20,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility at Bhumi World Industrial Park, Scholar produces a wide range of stationery products, including:

• Corporate diaries and planners • Premium journals and notebooks • Spiral notebooks and office notepads • Sketchbooks and artist pads • Watercolour and fine art papers • Canvas boards and exam boards • Personal and office stationery

The brand’s Luna Planner series, premium PU journals, spiral notebooks, and specialised artist papers and sketchbooks have become particularly popular among professionals, students, creatives, and stationery enthusiasts. A key strength of Scholar lies in its ability to design and manufacture customised stationery for businesses and brands. The company partners with organisations across industries to create branded corporate diaries, planners, notebooks, and promotional stationery, helping businesses express their identity through thoughtfully crafted products. Many companies today collaborate with Scholar to create customised stationery that reflects their corporate identity while maintaining premium quality. Scholar’s manufacturing combines decades of craftsmanship with advanced machinery. The facility is equipped with modern printing and binding systems, including a fully automatic Kolbus Casemaker from Germany, enabling precision case-binding and consistent high-quality production. To ensure superior quality, Scholar imports premium papers and cover materials from the United States, the Netherlands, South Korea, Germany, and Malaysia, allowing the brand to create stationery that meets global standards. Today, Scholar offers over 650 products and operates with a production capacity of approximately 25 lakh units annually. The brand serves customers through a strong dealer network of over 1,500 partners across 100+ cities in India, along with exports to Middle Eastern markets. In addition to its retail and corporate presence, all Scholar products are available online through www.scholarstationery.com and on Amazon, enabling the brand to reach customers across 20,000+ pin codes across India. With a team of 50+ employees and nearly 70 years of manufacturing expertise, Scholar continues to evolve while remaining committed to quality, design, and innovation.
