Celebrating Excellence in Technological Advancement
Bindwel Technologies has been honored with the prestigious Crafting Bharat Tech Transformer Innovator Award 2025, a recognition that underscores its leadership in technological innovation for the printing and bookbinding industry. Organized by Hindustan Times in collaboration with Fever FM Radio, Mint, and News Reach, the Bharat Awards celebrate businesses that drive transformative change across industries.
This award highlights Bindwel’s commitment to redefining book production, with the spotlight on its revolutionary 1NSTA Book on Demand system. Capable of producing 1,000 unique books per hour, this technology is reshaping short-run printing, making it faster, more efficient, and more adaptable to modern publishing demands.
The Bharat Awards & Why Bindwel Stands Out
The Bharat Awards acknowledge companies that drive technological progress across industries. The Tech Transformer Award is specifically given to innovations that significantly impact industry practices and global competitiveness. Bindwel’s 1NSTA system stood out due to its ability to meet the increasing demand for personalized and short-run book production, seamlessly integrating with digital workflows and offering real-time automation features.
According to Viswaprasad S Nair, President (Operations), Bindwel, “This recognition reinforces our commitment to pushing the boundaries of book production technology. The 1NSTA system is not just a machine; it’s an enabler of the future of printing, allowing publishers to produce books with unprecedented efficiency and customization.”
Industry Trends & Competitive Edge
The demand for short-run, customized book printing is growing rapidly, driven by self-publishing, academic publishing, and the need for on-demand production. Traditional bookbinding solutions often struggle with high setup times and limited customization, whereas Bindwel’s fully automated 1NSTA system eliminates these challenges with seamless digital integration and high-speed production capabilities.


The Impact of Bindwel’s 1NSTA Book on Demand Technology
Traditional bookbinding solutions often struggle to keep pace with the demand for short-run and personalized books. The Bindwel 1NSTA system overcomes these challenges with a cutting-edge automation suite designed for high-speed, high-accuracy production.
1. One Book, One Production: Unmatched Personalization
The 1NSTA system is built to deliver true book-of-one production, allowing each book in a production cycle to have a different format, cover, or content. This is a game-changer for on-demand publishers, self-publishers, and academic institutions that require diverse, customized book runs.
2. QR Code-Based Job Switching & Automated Measurement
Seamlessly integrating into digital workflows, 1NSTA uses QR code scanning to automate job switching, eliminating downtime between book formats. Automated book measurement ensures accurate spine calculations and precise binding, reducing errors and enhancing quality.
3. High-Speed Output: 1,000 Unique Books Per Hour
The 1NSTA system is built for unmatched productivity, capable of binding up to 1,000 unique books per hour without compromising quality. This allows printers to handle high volumes efficiently, catering to large-scale demands while maintaining individual customization.
4. Seamless Digital Workflow Integration
With full compatibility with digital printing systems, the 1NSTA system eliminates manual interventions, streamlining operations from printing to finishing. This integration significantly reduces production time, labor costs, and material waste, making it an ideal solution for sustainable and cost-efficient book production.
5. Proven Industry Performance: Trials at Repro India
Currently undergoing rigorous testing at Repro India, one of India’s leading books-on-demand printers, the 1NSTA system is demonstrating its reliability in real-world production environments. The trials serve as a testament to the system’s efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability in handling diverse bookbinding requirements.
