About Us

Who We Are

‘Pavanraj (Agarbatti)’ is the flagship brand under ‘Balaji Agarbatti Works’. Founded in the year 1996 by Mr. Pavankumar Jain, our company since it’s inception has been working with the only objective of consumer satisfaction. We have a loyal consumer base spread all over Maharashtra which is rapidly expanding all over India. Our consumers can vouch for our products and it is our constant endeavour to provide even better quality of products every time. Incense has been used all over the world since time immemorial for various purposes from aesthetic to spiritual. In India itself there has been widespread use of incense not only for religious but therapeutic purposes as well. Incense sticks are a common tradition within many cultures, religions and regions such as in India, Tibet, Japan, China and more. The word incense comes from Latin word ‘incendere’ meaning “to burn”. Generally associated with spiritualism, burning incense sticks, dhoop sticks or an agarbatti stick helps make the surroundings pure.
New Venture

We have also  ventured into manufacturing camphor tablets , which has received a positive response which we believe has been possible only because of the goodwill and faith of consumers that we have earned. Camphor is used for its scent, as an ingredient in cooking, as an embalming fluid, for medicinal purposes and in religious ceremonies. It is used in India from ancient time when religions like Buddhism and Jainism flourished. Camphor is used as an alternative to mothballs. Camphor crystals are sometimes used to prevent damage to insect collections by other small insects. The smoke of camphor crystal or camphor incense sticks can be used as an environmentally – friendly mosquito repellent. Camphor is also used as an antimicrobial substance. In embalming, camphor oil was one of the ingredients used by ancient Egyptians for mummification. Camphor is widely used in Hindu religious ceremonies. It is put on a stand called ‘karpur dāni’ in India. Aarti is performed after setting fire to it usually as the last step of puja. As we have only recently launched this product (camphor) and looking at the response it has received has only led us to firmly believe in our values of dedication and honesty in our work.

Incense sticks or Agarbatti in India are an important part of the daily ritual, religious offering and Puja. India is the largest producer of incense in the world and a healthy exporter to other Asian countries. Incense is used for aesthetic reasons, aromatherapy, meditation and ceremony. Incense sticks, also known as Agarbathi or Agarbatti and joss sticks, in which an incense paste is rolled or moulded around a bamboo stick, are the main forms of incense in India. The bamboo method originated in India and is distinct from the Nepali/Tibetan and Japanese methods of stick making without bamboo cores. The basic ingredients are the bamboo stick, the paste (generally made of charcoal dust and gum powder – an adhesive made from the bark of trees) and the perfume ingredients – which would be a masala (spice mix) powder of ground ingredients into which the stick would be rolled or a perfume liquid sometimes consisting of synthetic ingredients into which the stick would be dipped. We have recently adopted a more advanced technology for the manufacture and packaging of our product.

Our Journey
“Balaji Agarbatti Works” had a very modest beginning, founded in 1996 in a single room by Mr. Pavankumar Jain. It was known as ‘Mahakalika  Products’ when commencing the journey. Mr. Pavankumar Jain, a very humble and hardworking man, hails from a small village named Dolpura in Rajasmand district approximately 150 kms. from Udaipur, Rajasthan. He was accompanied by his wife Mrs. Rekha Jain and the Manager Mr. Ramesh Kalal, whom Mr. Pavankumar fondly refers to as his younger brother. Initially the entire workload of manufacturing, packaging and sale of products was borne by the three of them. Mr. Pavankumar and Mr. Ramesh would sell their products from door to door in the nearby market on a cycle and take the help of local transport. Mr. Pavankumar Jain, Mrs. Rekha Jain and Mr. Ramesh Kalal faced various problems in their journey but never took a backward step. They always had a positive attitude and the dedication to do hardwork.  Mr. Ramesh’s contribution to the company has been like Lakshman’s contribution in the journey of Ram. It is the sheer dedication of all three of them which has brought the company to where it stands today. In the year 2003 a manufacturing unit was started at Ladavali in Mahad, which has been expanding ever since. Currently there are above 100 employees working with us, 70% among whom are women, it is a remarkable growth, given that there were only 2 workers in the company when we first started our journey. Since more than 70% of our employees are women, Mrs. Rekha Jain plays a key role in administrating the day to day business. It is also in keeping with the company’s motive of women empowerment. The company also relies on avant-garde machinery so that there is no compromise in the quality of the products. At present our company manufactures around 180 tons of product annually. Because of our honesty and transparency in administration and deals every dealer and supplier in the market is eager to work with us. It is only due to the never say die attitude of Mr. Pavankumar Jain and Mrs. Rekha Jain that our company has carved out a niche for itself in such a short span of time.
खुशाली भरी सुगंध आसमान में लहराए आज,
जरूर होगा एक दिन अपने सर पर अगरबत्ती का ताज,
करेंगे मेहनत और बढ़ेंगे आगे, कल नही तो आज,
तब पूरी दुनिया साथ में गाएगी

“ खुशबू का राज पवनराज”
