Rajesh Palta, aged 74, runs the Universal Typewriter Company in Nehru Place, Delhi, one of the last shops in India dedicated to the restoration and sale of vintage typewriters. His family has been in this business since 1912, starting in Lahore and moving to India after Partition. Palta joined the family trade in the mid-1970s, but the rise of computers led to a significant decline in typewriter sales. Despite this, he found new life in restoring vintage models, encouraged by his sons. Currently, he employs four technicians who restore about two to three typewriters weekly, a stark contrast to the 30-40 machines repaired daily during the 1990s. Palta sells typewriters priced between ₹8,000 and ₹75,000, but he does not profit from this venture; instead, he prioritizes the livelihoods of his loyal staff. Interestingly, a new generation of customers, including young writers, are drawn to typewriters for their distraction-free experience. Palta hopes to establish a typewriter museum in Delhi, likening it to a sanctuary for these machines as they fade into obscurity.
