About Us
What We Do?
Scholar Art is one of India’s most trusted and leading brands in the office and art supplies space.
We offer a wide range of high-quality products — including writing boards, display boards, and fine art supplies — tailored to meet the needs of educational institutions, government organizations, businesses, and individual consumers across the country.
With complete in-house capabilities — including end-to-end panel processing, metal fabrication, fabric treatment, coating & gluing, plastic molding, and dedicated assembly lines — Scholar Art operates as a direct-from-factory brand. This allows us to maintain full control over design, sourcing, production, and operations, ensuring consistent quality and continuous innovation in everything we deliver.
Our hybrid sales approach combines both direct (through dealers and distributors) and indirect (via e-commerce marketplaces and our company portal) channels, enabling us to serve both B2B and B2C customers with equal efficiency, reliability, and prompt service.

Our Story
Ours is a humble start-up story—one that began in a rented basement shop. Today, Scholar Art stands as a symbol of progress, having built some of the industry’s finest panel processing, metal processing, fabric processing, and coating & gluing lines. We’ve come a long way—and we’re just getting started.
What began in 1985 as a small shop providing customized furniture—writing boards, display boards, and classroom furniture—to nearby schools and colleges has grown into one of India’s largest manufacturers of writing and display solutions.
With a strong foundation in the writing and display systems industry, the company expanded its manufacturing capabilities into fabric coating and processing, creating premium fine art products for students, designers, and artists.
Today, Scholar Art offers a wide range of high-quality Whiteboards, Chalkboards, Pin-up Boards, Primed Painting Canvases, and Painting & Display Easels to customers across the globe. With over five million satisfied users and more than three decades of trust, Scholar Art stands for more than just premium products—it represents care, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.
Yes, the size and scale of the organization have grown. But at heart, we are still that small start-up—deeply committed to our products, our people, and our customers like no one else.
Our Company
M/s S. S. Combines, the company behind the Scholar Art brand, was founded in 1985 in Indore by two long-time friends—Mr. Manoj Jain and Mr. Nitin Raut. Technocrats by training and perfectionists by nature, the founders laid down a strong value system and a culture of excellence that would go on to shape one of India’s leading brands in office and art supplies.
Today, Scholar Art is powered by a dedicated team of over 150 professionals, three state-of-the-art manufacturing units, more than 500 product variants, a network of around 50 dealers across India, and the trust of millions of satisfied customers.
So, how is all of this managed—every single day?
Through a standardized, process-driven system that governs our operations, manufacturing, distribution, sales, and customer service. This system runs within the framework of our core values and uncompromising performance standards.
Here’s a closer look at our plant, our people, and the processes that keep Scholar Art running seamlessly.
Our Production
Our ability to think, design & make innovative & premium-quality products is only possible because there is a robust production infrastructure with the best of people, machines & technology, that backs each development project with ease.
Situated over an area of 80,000 Sq. Ft., our manufacturing facility is equipped with metal, plastic, wood & fabric processing machinery & equipment.
The panel processing shop has CNC panel cutting saws, manual and CNC metal cutting saws, manual and CNC edge banding machines, CNC routers, CNC gluing & pressing line, manual and CNC coil/sheet cutting machines as well as cold & hot roller presses, that can collectively process a wide variety of engineered woods and metals and turn them into a plethora of panels for writing & display purposes. The plastic moulding shop has CNC injection moulding machines, plastic crushers, heaters & mixers, that together with our inhouse plastic part design & die development expertise, allow us to process almost all engineering plastics into useful product accessories, supports & joinery. The woodworking shop has spindle moulders, wood planers, wood cutters and sanders, that are used to process hard woods & soft woods into finished articles of wood such as frames, stretchers & easels.
The fabric & canvas processing shop consists of a wide belt stenter machine (acrylic gesso coating machine) and fabric cutting & slitting machines that allow to convert unprimed cotton duck canvas into primed (coated) painting canvases (canvas boards, canvas stretchers & canvas rolls).
Our Processes
We proudly offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on every purchase—regardless of size or scale.
How do we make this possible? By placing complete trust in our internal systems and their ability to consistently deliver on time and with uncompromised quality. Backed by years of experience and thousands of customer feedback interactions, we’ve fine-tuned our processes to ensure seamless operations and exceed customer expectations at every step.
Standard Products
We apply the principle of standardization to both our raw materials and finished products. This not only enables our buyers to choose from a wide and well-defined product range but also empowers us to consistently deliver superior product and service quality.
Standard Packaging
We use an industry-leading, multi-layer packaging system—featuring shrink wraps, bubble wraps, paper edge protectors, and corrugated sheets—to ensure complete protection against dust, moisture, stacking pressure, and road shocks.
Standard Shipping
We’ve partnered with leading logistics providers like FedEx, Rivigo, and Delhivery to ensure reliable shipping of both B2C and B2B orders to over 15,000 pin codes across India—as well as international destinations.
Innovation
We rely on the latest tools and technologies to create product designs that are safe, sturdy, and user-friendly. Using advanced CAD and CAE software like SolidWorks, we streamline everything from engineering design and structural analysis to production—ensuring precision and reliability at every stage.
Technology
We run all our business processes on Odoo (ERP), enabling real-time connectivity and transparency across our vendors, customers, and employees. This integrated system empowers us to operate with greater efficiency, agility, and control.
Multi Channel Sales
Nothing matches the convenience of shopping online—but nothing replaces the experience of buying in person. At Scholar Art, we understand the value of both. That’s why our products are available across online platforms as well as offline retail channels—so you can choose what suits you best.
Effective Management
We may be seasoned by years, but we operate with the agility and mindset of a start-up. Every problem is seen as a challenge—and every challenge is met with unwavering focus, energy, and teamwork until it’s resolved to our complete satisfaction.
