Timeline

Our Journey

From a single treadle machine bought on loan in 1955, to a business that has sourced and sold thousands of machines and printed for some of the biggest names in publishing this is a story of hard work, courage, and a family name we chose to protect.

  1. PHASE 01 — 1947

    The Beginning

    Sardar Sant Singh Batra arrives in Delhi after Partition with little more than ₹500 in his pocket and a large family to support the first page of the Batra story.

    The Beginning - 1947
  2. PHASE 02 — 1955

    Batra Art Press Is Founded

    After eight years learning the trade on the shop floor, our founder starts his own press on rented premises, buying his first machine a treadle press on loan.

    Investing In Our Own Ground

    Against advice that no business would ever come to the area, we buy the land in Naraina that becomes Batra House the foundation we still stand on today.

    An import licence opens a new chapter: sourcing and selling printing machinery. Over the decades we go on to place over 5,000 machines with printers across India a business that trades today as Alliance Graphic Equipment.

  7. PHASE 07 — 1992

    Choosing To Continue The Legacy

    Faced with a hard business decision, we consider closing the Batra name and within a week, choose instead to carry it forward. That decision still holds.
