Our story began in 1957 when our founder Mr. Surajmal Jain decided to leave his hometown to pursue
his childhood dream of creating and running his own business. Being a scholar with a strong affinity
towards reading, writing and arts (Mr. S. M. Jain holds degrees of M.A. in Hindi, M.A. in Political Science
and Ph.D in Jainism), he had a very clear picture of what he wanted to do – promoting education, arts &
science by providing good quality stationery, educational & training supplies and art supplies at affordable
prices.

And that’s how Mendwell Agencies® was born – a small outlet offering affordable stationery material, art
material and educational & training supplies. Today, we’re one of the largest stationery shops in Central
India with a portfolio of leading domestic & international brands and over 10,000 products.

Within a few years of running Mendwell Agencies®, Mr. S. M. Jain realized the growing demand of
high-quality stationery, art supplies and educational supplies in India (difficult to avail at that time in this
part of the country). Based on the feedback of a wide variety of clientele – artists, designers, engineers,
architects, students and teachers, S. M. Jain worked with major domestic and international brands and
not only began expanding the portfolio with a vision to satisfy everyone’s needs under a single roof, but
also contributed towards market development for an array of products that would transform the stationery
and art supplies industry in India.

The foundation laid by Mr. S. M. Jain during those years is the reason we humbly present ourselves as an
‘All-in-One Store for Art, Stationery, Education & Training Products’, blessed with the love and
support of thousands of happy customers since 1957.

Currently, Mendwell Agencies®is led by Mrs. Pratibha Jain, daughter-in-law of Mr. S. M. Jain, while he
continues to utilize his time doing what he loves the most – reading and writing. You can find some of his
published work here. Mrs. Jain stood fast to the brand’s mission and expanded the brand portfolio while
also building separate online and offline marketing channels.

Mendwell Agencies® is and will always be committed to providing the best-quality stationery, art supplies
and educational supplies at the best rates. We’re on a mission to make your shopping experience
affordable, amusing and acceptable, always.
