I am really passionate about chelpark pens. Especially Chelpark Moti. I tried searching for it everywhere but could not find it. I only have a memory of my father's Moti...lost in time... Please if anyone is ready to sell please contact me or reply to this. I would really really appreciate that. I am really a big fan of the Moti.

 Photobucket is working just fine. It’s an fpn related issue. Select the complete link as shown in screen shot. Copy it. Paste it in browser. You can see image. No need to overwork your imagination 🤣

😂 This review was written way back in Aug 2008. There was no image upload feature back then on FPN.

 

FPN board software got updated in the meanwhile, killing the photobucket image embedding links.

The link to the story is now dead like most old things on the internet.

However here is the text of it from my records

 

  Quote

The Parker Pen Company manufacturers of ink, was in partnership with a company in the south of India by the name of TTK. But Parker wanted to find a new partner in India, as they did not wish to continue their association with TTK. That?s when Mr. Byford the main advisor to the Parker family approached the Chellaram family to become their partners for India. Mr. Byford and the Chellaram family had an old association, as the Chellaram family were large buyers of Parker products for trade in the west African region.
The Chellaram family discussed with Mr. Byford that they were willing to buy the majority of shares of the Parker operation in India but on a condition. The condition being that the Chellaram family would not be involved in the day to day running and administration of the company. And only Parker would run the entire operations. Parker agreed to this condition laid down by the Chellaram family and they both officially joined hands for the India operations.
After giving it some thought it was decided that ?Quink? had to be given an Indian identity to it to appeal to the Indian consumer. That?s when the brand name Chelpark came into being signifying the Chellaram and Parker. This change in name was backed by an advertising campaign in which showed the pealing off of the Parker sticker and a new sticker that read ?Chelpark? on it appearing. This ad campaign was an instant hit and that was the birth of this famous company called Chelpark.
The first official name of the company after the Chellaram family bought the majority shares was Chelpark Company Limited. Which was changed in 1985 to Chelpark Company Private Limited. And the head office was shifted from Madras, Tamil Nadu to Bangalore, Karnataka.
This long standing partnership of the two business families came to an end around 1968/69 as the finance ministry changed its policies and therefore it was not profitable for Parker to continue its operations in India and therefore decided to sell off their entire shareholdings.
That is when Chelpark which was initially only known for its fountain pen ink started diversifying into other office stationary products and today it has become a household name in India with its wide product range.
This company is committed in its endeavor to give the consumer highest quality products and also have a wide product range to choose from, as the consumer is the king today.
