Book publishing in India

Book publishing in India refers to the process of book creation within India, a growing field in recent years, which makes the country the sixth-largest[1] book publishing nation in the world.[2] While there is optimism about the growth of Indian publishing (especially in urban India), the sector is also afflicted by a lack of accurate figures about books published, knowledge shared and revenues earned. It is further divided between the local and multinational players, the English language and the local languages publishers.[3] Self-publishing and immense free content, which is an offshoot of the digital revolution in print, further challenge the traditional ways of printing.[3] The major players in Academic Publishing are PHI Learning (formerly known as Prentice Hall of India), Wiley India, Taylor and Francis India, New Age, Viva Books, TMH, Jaico and Manakin Press.
