One of India’s first indigenously made fountain pen
KV Ratnam, a resident of Rajamundrhy was highly impressed by Mahatma Gandhiji’s call for “ Made in India” products, that would be cheaper than foreign products, thus, easily accessible to everyone. With the help of a book with instructions, KV Ratnam made a handmade fountain pen, made from scratch. The first fountain pen by “Ratnam Pens” was gifted to Mahatma Gandhi in 1935, and received a note of appreciation from the legend himself, praising the quality and the Swadeshi make. “Bhramam Pens” and “Ratnam Pens” thus, came into circulation.
