Mr. Sudarshan Motwani
In the world of fine writing instruments, few names evoke the same level of craftsmanship, passion, and dedication as Sudarshan Motwani. With a legacy spanning over three decades, Sudarshan's journey is a testament to the power of tradition, innovation, and artistry.
Born in 1965, Sudarshan grew up surrounded by the sights, sounds, and scents of his family's pen manufacturing factory. Under the guidance of his father, he honed his skills and developed a deep understanding of the craft. By the time he formed his small company, Sign Write, in 1987, Sudarshan was already a master craftsman.
In the early 1990s, Sudarshan's pens caught the attention of major brands like Pierre Cardin, who recognized the exceptional quality and craftsmanship. This partnership not only validated Sudarshan's expertise but also fueled his ambition to create something truly unique.
The Birth of Orchid Art & Craft
In 1995, Sudarshan launched Orchid Art & Craft, a brand that would showcase his most exquisite creations. This new venture allowed him to push the boundaries of innovation, experimenting with rare materials, intricate designs, and ancient techniques like Meenakari.
Today, Orchid Art & Craft is synonymous with luxury, artistry, and precision. Each pen is a masterpiece, reflecting Sudarshan's unwavering commitment to excellence and his passion for preserving traditional Indian craftsmanship.
