For publishers
Become an Indus Books publisher partner.
If you already run an imprint, you do not need another publisher — you need production, conversion and distribution capacity you can rely on. That is what this is.
Capabilities
Work we take on for other imprints.
Pick the pieces you need. Some partners send us only print production; others hand over an entire backlist for digitisation and let us run distribution alongside it.
Production capacity
Editing, typesetting and cover design handled as overflow when your own list is running hot and deadlines are tight.
Print management
Offset runs, short digital runs and print-on-demand, with paper, binding and finishing specified per title.
Backlist digitisation
Out-of-print and older titles scanned, corrected, re-typeset and published as digital editions that stay available.
eBook conversion
Reflowable and fixed-layout EPUB built properly, including Tamil and other Indic scripts that generic tools mangle.
Distribution
Supply into bookshops, libraries and institutions, plus marketplace listing and fulfilment across India.
Warehousing & fulfilment
Stock held and orders shipped, so you are not running a dispatch operation out of an office cupboard.
Backlist digitisation
Your out-of-print titles are still worth something.
Most imprints in India are sitting on a list of titles that sold well once and have been unavailable for years — the print run finished, a reprint never quite justified itself, and that was that. Digitised properly, those books cost nothing to keep in stock and start earning again.
