You may have written off typewriters years ago, but truth be told someone was still producing them over in India. A company by the name of Godrej & Boyce in Mumbai released an official statement saying that the writing is on the wall, and that computers are here to stay.
“From the early 2000 onwards, computers started dominating. All the manufacturers of office typewriters stopped production, except us. Till 2009, we used to produce 10,000 to 12,000 machines a year.
We stopped production in 2009 and were the last company in the world to manufacture office typewriters. Currently, the company has only 500 machines left. The machines are of Godrej Prima, the last typewriter brand from our company, and will be sold at a maximum retail price of Rs 12,000.”
The future of Godrei & Boyce — refridgerators.
