A modern press for a country being rewritten.
Oakbridge Publishing was founded in 2017 by two veteran publishing professionals with leadership experience at some of the world's most respected publishing companies. The premise was simple — India deserves its own scholarly voice, published from within, for the students, educators and practitioners who live here. We publish across five imprints: Academic, Professional, General, Coffee Table and Curated Works. Every manuscript is shepherded by editors with decades of international publishing experience.
We remain a privately-held, independent publisher — which means our editorial choices are made by readers and educators, not shareholders.
Eight years, many states, one standard.
