Likhawat: Publishing in India | 17 June, 2025

Sansad Tv

“The successful publishing house is the one that can anticipate the future, not merely replicate the past.”

Publishing is far more than simply attaching a cover to a manuscript. It involves a discerning process of selection, multiple rounds of thoughtful editing, a deep understanding of reader demand, and a careful evaluation of return on investment. At its heart, publishing is a noble profession—it gives voice to ideas, brings thoughts to life, and helps birth new narratives into the world.

In this edition of Likhawat, we speak with two editors from leading global publishing houses, offering insights from an Indian perspective. Together, we look into the nuances, challenges, and opportunities of the industry—and, most importantly, explore what it truly takes to build a successful global publishing presence in India —and ask a critical question: Can India build a truly global publishing house? And what will it take to make that vision a reality?
