Niyogi Books welcomes you to the wonderful world of books—which are rich and varied in content and world-class in design and production. Established in 2004, Niyogi Books is an internationally reputed publishing house with over 600 titles—and the list continues to grow. Our focus is on producing illustrated books on art, architecture, history, culture, spirituality, memoirs and every other aspect connected with culture and heritage. We always strive to give equal emphasis on the textual content and visuals as well within our illustrated books. In 2018, Niyogi Books launched three imprints: Olive Turtle (English fiction), Thornbird (English translation) and Paper Missile (English nonfiction). With the introduction of the three imprints, Niyogi Books strives to enrich the categories of books ranging from social science, self-help books, works of fiction, as well as English translations of modern classics from different Indian languages, thus exploring the many genres of the literary world. In January 2019, Niyogi Books launched its Hindi imprint, Bahuvachan, dedicated to our Hindi titles, thereby celebrating the state language, Hindi, which is also one of the most spoken languages in the world. It also upholds the banner for the multilingual nation that India is. In spite of using the latest technological innovations in production and design, Niyogi Books lays great emphasis on human values and human capital. Our mission—Fine publishing within reach is based on our commitment to excellence and our belief in inclusive growth. This is reflected in the close relationship we have with our authors, our readers and our partners in book selling and distribution. Niyogi Books’ commitment to serve everyone better has prompted us to open the first sales outlet at the heart of well-known book centre in Kolkata. Reading Corner, our colourful quarterly newsletter, introduces current and forthcoming books and authors, and covers book launches and events.
