ALLIED

Since 1972

One family.
54 years.

Allied has never been sold, never been franchised and never left Chawri Bazar. Three generations have run the same floor, to the same standard.

01
First generationIn loving memory

Late Mr

Shanti Prakash Sharma

Founder · 1972

Opened the shop in Chawri Bazar in 1972 with a guillotine, a stitching frame and an unwillingness to send out a book he would not put his name to. He built the first accounts on foot, ledger by ledger, and set the standard the family still measures itself against. Everything here rests on what he started.

  • Founded Allied, 1972
  • Built the first accounts on foot
  • Set the house standard for binding

Second generation

Ajay Sharma

Managing Director

Took a counter in one lane and made it a manufacturing business with national reach. He brought in imported thermal PU, machine binding lines, and the colour-matching discipline that lets a corporate buyer see their exact brand on a cover before a single unit is cut.

  • Scaled to pan-India supply
  • Imported thermal PU programme
  • Corporate colour matching

Second generation

Vijay Sharma

Director — Production

Runs the floor. Paper sourcing, GSM control, binding quality and the delivery calendar that governs diary season are all his. When a run of ten thousand ships square, on shade and on time, that is his signature on it.

  • Paper sourcing & GSM control
  • Binding and finishing quality
  • Diary-season delivery calendar

Third generation

Aastik Sharma

Director — Brand & Commerce

Brought the catalogue online and put the workshop within reach of a buyer anywhere in India. Holds brand, digital commerce and the bespoke desk — along with the two commitments the house now carries on every invoice it issues.

  • Digital catalogue & commerce
  • Bespoke commissioning desk
  • Plant-a-tree & education pledges

The floor

Still Chawri Bazar.

The market has changed around us for fifty-two years. The address has not. Buyers still walk in, open a book, feel the grain and place an order across the same counter.
