Dear Kaveri,

Anjana Batra has been kind enough to suggest that I write to you  when I requested her for a merchandiser contact in Fabindia .  Like everybody else, I am a huge admirer of the chain....

Over the last three years, my son, Arjun Kochhar, is manufacturing a series of very high quality notebooks/sketchbooks under the brand  name Brahma Books.
These have done particularly well among Westerners, as they are comparable to the Moleskine European brand of stationary products.

I would very much appreciate an opportunity to show you samples after you have been through the attachments.  Please could you give me an appointment during the coming week?

Warm thanks,

Nina Kochhar

PS.  Possibly Arjun was in Sanawar with you??

Dear Mani,

Greetings from Brahma Books!

These are notebooks and sketchbooks of excellent quality paper, and hand-bound, so that what one writes or draws, lasts and lasts.  They are comparable to the European brand "Moleskine" and are particularly popular among Westerners who find them very useful to write journals, with sketches.  They are available in various sizes and styles as shown in the attachments.

Brahma Books provides a "rocket" floor display unit which stands firmly on the ground and has a diameter of just 18inches.  It is very eye-catching and displays the notebooks/sketchbooks to advantage.

Brahma are also the sole distributors in India of Stonehenge paper which is regarded internationally as the best for art-work.  Again, it's surface and long lasting qualities are it's USPs.

I feel Brahma Books would do very well at the Sivananda Yoga Centres (of which my son, Arjun Kochhar, his wife and myself have been members for many years).
They are appropriate to the objectives of the Yoga Centre and would beautifully supplement your present display of books on Yoga and Meditation.

Please do give me an appointment in the coming week so that I can show you samples, to convey the touch and feel of Brahma Books.

With warm thanks,

Nina Kochhar

Dear Mrs. Singh,

Warm compliments on running a very nice In & Out store, and greetings from Brahma Books!

I visited your outlet on April 26 and spoke to Sunita in your absence.

Brahma Books manufactures an excellent series of notebooks/sketchbooks in various styles and sizes as shown in the attachments.  Their quality is comparable to the European "Moleskine" brand. They are top-of-the-line in terms of quality of paper used and are hand bound so that they last and last.  They come with their own "rocket" style floor revolving display unit which is just 18 inches in diameter, so it takes up little store space and displays the books in an eye-catching way.

I would appreciate it very much if you could give me an appointment in the coming week to show you samples, to convey the "touch & feel" of these notebooks/sketch books, which would be very suitable to display/sell at your convenience store.

Warm thanks,

Nina Kochhar

Dear Madam,

Greetings from Brahma Books!

A few weeks ago I had spoken to Mr. & Mrs. Sammy Malik regarding this product probably being very suitable for your Petrol Pump convenience store.  Subsequently, my daughter-in-law, Dimple Kochhar has been trying very hard to get in touch with you to show you samples and catalogues, including an image of the "rocket" stand-alone display unit, but has not been able to meet you.

I called again at your Lodhi Road In & Out on Saturday 27th but was told that you were out of town and would call either of us on your return.  My mobile phone no. is 9811022326, while Dimple's is 9810083160.  Please do let us show you the samples of the notebooks/sketchbooks which do particularly well with Westerners for their journals and sketches.

Looking forward to hearing from you so that we can begin a business relationship at the beginning of May 2013.

With best wishes,

Nina Kochhar

Kaveri - I would really love to meet you with a few samples - Brahma Books just cant be classified as stationary, and westerners love them for their journals with sketches while they are in India.  These books do so well in McLeodganj, Dharamkot, etc.  So can we still meet!  I do think they combine well with Fabindia's aesthetics and product ranges - by the way, my first job was in Fabindia, with John Bissell!

Yes, both my sons know Gayatri!  My warm regards to both your parents..............

Dear Nina,

 

Thank you for writing in and attaching your presentations on your product line. Unfortunately, we are not perceived as a stationary shop or one where customers come looking for high end journals/sketchbooks. These would get lost in our stores. We do have a small collection of stationary products but it’s very small and very specific to our look and feel.

 

But if you still feel we should meet, I would be more than happy too.

Thanks Manu. 

The pricing and quality are all in the attachments i.e.  the type of paper used, the hand-binding which makes them long lasting, etc. The costings therefore are fairly high since high-quality raw materials are used.


They are perfect for keeping a journal and would make an ideal gift for a patient.


I would like to meet you and the concerned person with the actual samples so that you get the "touch and feel" first hand. Regards,

Nina Kochhar

Dear Mr. Kapila,

Greetings from Brahma Books!

Thank you for responding so promptly with your email address.......Dr. Manjit Kochhar spoke to you about her nephew (my son) , Arjun Kochhar's excellent brand of notebooks/sketch books which would be so appropriate in Fortis Gift Shops/Book Shops, especially as they are titled "Catch Inspiration" which is what they are designed to do.  I am helping Arjun with the marketing of these books and would like to bring across samples of various sizes and types to show you or/and whoever else is involved in merchandising for the in-house shops at Fortis.

Meanwhile I am attaching brochures which are self-explanatory.  These books have their own display units which are of two contrasting types and show the notebooks/sketchbooks in an eye-catching way.

Please do give me an appointment to see you with the actual samples.

Thank you so much,

Nina Kochhar

Dear Mrs. Menon,

 

I am taking the liberty of writing to you personally, inspite of  your awesome reputation, to introduce you to the fact that Brahma Books is the sole distributor in India of the internationally renowned high quality art-paper called Stonehenge.

 

I cannot seem to be able to put attachments to this mail, to give you details, as this email address for you has come up on the internet.

 

I will be happy to show you samples if and when you are interested. 

 

With warm good wishes,

Dear Mrs. Mago and Ashok-ji

Greetings from Brahma Books!

Yesterday I visited your very nicely run In & Out store across the road from Moolchand flyover....I was really impressed.  My daughter-in-law, Dimple Kochhar had visited earlier also.  We would very much like to you to consider keeping a consignment of Brahma Books which are notebooks and sketchbooks, and popular for writing journals, as they are of high quality paper with long lasting hand-binding.  An eye-catching floor display unit called "the rocket" is also provided...it is just 18" dia. and about 5ft tall, showing off the notebooks to advantage.  

We had carried the samples yesterday to show you but were not able to meet you.  Please do call me at 9811022326 so that I can bring along the samples again.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.  With best wishes,

Nina Kochhar

Dear Ravneet & Neha,

I would like to thank you so much for receiving Monu and myself so graciously last weekend, even without an appointment and for explaining the concept of Design Deals to me.

I understand that you do flash sales for a duration of three weeks and if there is a request for our product you have it picked up on cash sale and forward it to your client.  I also understand that your commission is 30% though Brahma  pays out 25%.  We do pay a VAT of 5% on everything that leaves our premises.

I am attaching an e-copy of the brochure and retailer mailer, along with the retail price list.

Arjun Kochhar's coordinates are: Landline:011-43658526, mobile 9810067743.

I hope we can do business together, and though our product is not exactly in your range of home goods, perhaps you can stretch your range by including 
"bedside journals"!  Or even "Gifts to Give".

Ravneet, it was delightful knowing that you are a Sanawarian too, considering I have 2 generations of them around me, and my father was once a bursar in Sna! And please do talk to Meha Khanna too about Brahma Books - they are actually a very good product - Westerners have loved them.  But most of all, I would appreciate any leads you can give me about marketing "Stonehenge" paper - your explaining the Art Printing Presses concept to me was very valuable, and thank you for that.

For our office purposes I am noting your phone nos. at the end of this mail.

With warm personal regards to both of you,

Nina Kochhar

Hi Louise,

My son, Arjun & I were in Gurgaon yesterday, passing the Punj Lloyd office, which made me think of you!

Louise, Arjun is manufacturing an excellent series of notebooks/sketchbooks called "Catch Inspiration" which are being very well received in the market.
I am attaching the literature in this connection.

The range of Brahma Books is about 100, in different styles and sizes.  The quality is comparable to the European "Moleskine".  I am helping him with the marketing, and we have shown them  to Ritika at the Oberoi, Ananda in the Himalayas, the Good Earth, etc. all of who have liked the range and quality.  
Yesterday we were taking them to Fortis, and another client who wanted customised covers.

If Punj Lloyd ever has a requirement of high end corporate gifts, or senior level conference material please do contact me on behalf of Brahma Books.  We will be happy to show you samples any time.

Warm regards,

Hi Alex,

It was nice seeing you at the recent Sainik Farm Sing Along!

I am writing because I got bag-napped again and lost my mobile phone, so please send me your mobile phone no. again.

I am also attaching enclosures of excellent notebooks/sketchbooks being manufactured by my older son Arjun which have been on the market a couple of years now.  Their quality is comparable to the European Moleskine brand and they have been very well received in the market, though the pricing is in the upper bracket because of their quality.  

If your organisation requires corporate give-aways of this calibre, or has any conference requirements, please do let me know since I am helping him with his marketing.  You could also ask him directly to send his man with samples - he has a wide variety and many different price ranges.  Arjun's coordinates are:
Landline:  01143658526 Mobile: 9810067743.  He operates out of 71 Sundar Nagar, New Delhi 110003.

Alex, I'd also appreciate any leads you might be able to give me at the Ford Foundation, World Bank, ADB, WWF, TERI etc. with a contact person's name and an email address, who I could write to, perhaps giving your name.

Warm affection
Nina Kochhar

I am now taking the liberty of sending you some attachments of a very nice set of sketchbooks/notebooks which I feel would be ideal for your souvenir shop at the NGMA . They are of very high quality paper with hand-binding, designed to last;  they come in various sizes and are comparable to the European Moleskine brand at much less the cost.  We would be happy to show you samples.

Brahma Books is also the sole distributor in India of "Stonehenge" art paper which, as you know, is internationally regarded as one of the best art-papers.  It is eminently suited for artists, but even more so for printers who specialise in printing limited editions of art reproductions. I thought I would let you know, just in case the information is useful to people who enquire from you.

Please let me know in case you are interested in seeing an samples of these products.

Best wishes,

Nina Kochhar

Dear Mr. Raza,

Greetings from Brahma Books!

Thank you for responding so graciously on the phone to me just now.

Brahma Books has been on the market over the last 2 years with very high quality notebooks/sketchbooks themed "Catch Inspiration".  As the attachments indicate the, quality of paper is a joy to write on, they are in a variety of sizes and styles - plain, lined, dotted, math;  they are handbound, so very flexible, and because they last and last, the handwritten material on them can be preserved and archived.  Infact most people who have used them find their quality comparable to the European Moleskine brand of notebooks.  

I feel they would make excellent give-aways for the Ford Foundation during conferences and for other corporate events.  Please do give me the opportunity to call on you with samples.

Again, with warm thanks for your receptiveness,

Nina Kochhar

Dear Ravneet and Neha,

I have not heard further from you after sending you this mail on May 6.

I would also be so grateful, Ravneet, for some contacts in the printing presses which reproduce high quality artwork of senior artists.

Warm regards,

Dear Anuj,

It was good to speak to you just now.  It would be very nice if you could set up a meeting for me with Mani Chaitanya - I have been trying to get in touch with him since April!

Dear Anuj,

I wonder if Mani is back by now, and if Arjun can call on him with Brahma Book samples for him to consider these for the various Sivananda Ashrams.

Since we havent heard from you, I thought I would write to follow up.

Warm thanks
