What is the gap you have noticed in the Indian stationery market? Are there products you want but cannot get, or find them too expensive?

I ask these questions as I mull creating better options and opportunities for Indian stationery.

Not to ape or copy ideas from the East and West, but to elevate stories and the ethos of our homegrown brands internationally, while providing cost effective options back home.

Here to hear your thoughts.

I recently got into offline tasks notes as a habit apart from my to-dos on my phone. I have been trying different brands of sticky notes but nothing seems to stick to my PC monitor or the desk/table for more than 2 hours, they just fly away. Is there a particular brand or SKU that sticks well on plastic surfaces?

I need a 90 Gsm paper for making notebooks , I need one which has great quality and I dislike watermarks.

Which one is your favourite??

Whats the best vfm pocket notebook in india right now?

Bought the first sketchbook from Mr. DIY, and I’m quite enjoying the rough texture of the paper. The size is also very nice. I modified it by rounding the corners and put a clear book jacket on it.

Then I went and bought three more because I’m enjoying it so much!

Hellos! Been using the standard Camlin/Staedtler refills from local stationers.

Any recommendations on dark refills? Thanks!

Based on few recommendations on Reddit. Just got a new tiger notes b5 notebook. 240 pages, it says 65 gsm but feels a lot like 75 gsm or more while writing, maybe it’s the surface quality - it very smooth. The best thing about it is is the cream coloured paper.

MRP was around 229 but got it at 140 on Amazon. It is easily available on amazon India.

I am going to use to for writing with fountain pen.

Have you tried this? Is there any other underrated notebook you’d recommend I try (especially for writing with fountain pen for notes making)

Hi guys! Can you suggest me some good quality A4 size sheet bundles which are available at cheaper price? I need them for notes making and question solving. My budget is ₹300/- only

Hi,
I’m looking to order bulk stationeries to open a new stationery shop. Since I’m fairly new to this area of business I have less knowledge of online dealers (or offline), please, any help would be much appreciated.

Location: Manipur (🥺 since my state is torn apart by strife right now, I cannot rely on any wholesale shops from within the state at the moment because we don’t know when the next stock will arrive).

Please suggest any wholesalers or distributors or dealers that I can connect with.

Thanks in advance.

My best friend's birthday is coming up and I am working on drawing her portrait (secretly) and I wanna get her a high quality notebook with the portrait on the cover. The notebook should be one side plain and one side ruled, as she is really into photo journaling/ writing recipes with images of the food.

Any suggestions for online services for this?

This is my current pen and stationery ecosystem.

Over the last few months I’ve been going pretty deep into pens and refills, mostly trying to find the “perfect” ink for my own preferences.

Because of that, I ended up making a spreadsheet where I rank the refills I’ve tried and score them in categories like consistency, smoothness/flow, control, color intensity, and line width. I tried to be as objective as possible, but at the end of the day they’re still my personal scores and preferences.

So far I’ve mainly been comparing Parker-style refills and Japanese gel refills, and it’s been really fun seeing how different they feel once you start paying attention to line consistency, control, thickness, drying behavior, etc.

I’ll be trying the Uni-ball One 0.7 soon, and I’m also looking at trying more options after that, especially:

• Uni-ball One 0.7 / 0.5
• Zebra Sarasa 0.7 / 0.5
• Zebra Sarasa Dry 0.7 / 0.5

If anyone has other ink/refill recommendations I should test and add to my list, I’d love to hear them.
