![... book publishing industry in](http://allaboutbookpublishing.com/files/2010/09/001.jpg)
Print Industry encompasses almost every field in a country's economy. The industry generates an assortment of objects like Newspapers, Magazines, Books, Business Order Forms, Post Cards to Memo Pads, etc. that comes in use in our day to day life. Being one of the most well established media forms in our country,Indian Print Industry comprises mainly of newspaper and magazine publishing. However, share, though substantial, made by book publishing can not be overlooked.
In recent years, the Indian print industry is recorded a 12.6% CAGR which is expected to grow till Rs 232 bn from Rs 128 bn by 2011. On the whole, newspaper industry shares the size of approximately Rs 112 bn whereas magazine segment accounts for Rs 16 bn only.
Growth Drivers:
Factors contributing to the growth of industry include;
Higher literacy levels- At present, Indian print industry has its reach to over 220m people, whereas newspaper is read only by 27% of people of India, as compared to the average 50% globally. In India, the rate of literacy has increased to 71.1% in 2006, as compared to 69.9% in 2005. Where literacy rate in rural segment has touched 64.8%, urban literacy has increased to 85.3%.
Lower cover prices ý Newspaper had higher cover charges earlier but cut-throat competition has led the companies to reduce their cover prices so as to popularize their sales. Therefore, the companies have started selling out dailies, including popular English ones, for as low as Re1 or Rs 2 to experience growth in their sales.
Higher ad spends- Print industry accounts for 48% of the total Rs 137.5 bn advertising industry and plays a crucial role in it. In spite of being a vital industry, the ad spend in India is just 0.4% of GDP, where as in China, it is about 0.5% and 1.3% in the US. Nonetheless, factors such as growing interest of international brands in domestic markets and rising consumerism has made it contribute more in the ad segment.
“As a matter of fact, there is no single newspaper circulated nationally. However, India has entitled as the second largest platform for newspapers with 88.9 m copies sold out each day, next to China with 98.7 m copies a day.”
Fragmented Industry
Indian print industry is highly fragmented based on language. About 46% of the daily newspapers are vernacular, 44% of them publish in Hindi and only 10% in English. However, the English newspapers are much central to urban areas. On contrary to this, Hindi-language newspapers have a proportionately larger readership in rural areas. The newspaper industry is highly dominated by existing players and their overall control over the distribution network has made it difficult for novice to enter in the industry.
Foreign Investment
A big number of Indian print players are confined to their local regions and would likely to refrain from entering new territories due to lack of funds. The relaxation in foreign investment regulations in 2002 has given the industry a leverage to expand further. Currently, newspapers and periodicals are permitted for 26% foreign direct investment (FDI). While non-news publications has permission of 100% foreign.
Indian Print Industry's Current Status
Nearly 160,000 Printing Presses are being operated across the country.
Employes more than 1.6 million work force.
Printing academic bodies include 18 Printing Engineering Colleges, Several diploma schools and many print training institutions.
Produce over 2000 graduates in printing every year.
Future of the Industry
The factors such as increasing literacy, entering global brands in the country, increasing consumerism and sector's opening to foreign investors would lead to further growth in print media. Also, widening newspaper companies and their spreading across newer segments would have a positive impact on its growth.

How do you see Nandan Nilekani’s decision of leaving Infosys and joining government?
Nandan Nilekani is the face of the rise of India as a tech powerhouse. As co-founder of Infosys, he has helped transform the global software industry. In a forward to Nilekani’s recently published book, “Imagining India: The Idea of a Renewed Nation,” New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman writes, “Silicon Valley has Steve — as in Jobs. Seattle has Bill — as in Gates … And Bangalore has Nandan — as in Nilekani.”
Bangalore-based Infosys was created by a handful of smart engineers with just $250. Its business remains strong despite the global recession. The company, which last year reported annual sales of $4.18 billion, has designed part of the wing of the Airbus A380 super-jumbo, written code for companies such as Apple and Cisco Systems, and even creates economic reports for U.S. investment banks. The 53-year-old executive, who is co-chairman of the Infosys board, swung through Silicon Valley recently. He will leave that position next month when he becomes chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)., which is similar to the U.S. Social Security Administration.
According to me, this is a sign of the discussion that we often have in our coffee room and drawing room that good people should come forward and become the part of system instead of accusing system. Even though some of the literate and knowledgeable people have reached parliament through upper and lower house but that number is extremely insufficient. In such situation, we need capable to come forward and become the part of system to reform the system. We need people who have knowledge and experience not only in management but in technology can really bring reform in the system.
People like Nandan Nilekani are not hungry for red light vehicle thus accepting appointment as chairman of UIDAI, is definitely for serving the nation. Leaving Infosys the organization that had built from the scratch with his hard work would not have been a easy decision for him.
At this time, I can only remember of another appointment of Indian government when Indian Government appointed Sam Pitroda in 1984 as the chair person of newly formed department C-DOT. Not to forget, he started PCO system in India that brought telephone charges in India to a affordable price. There must me more such appointments but I am sure not many, that I can mention.
I congratulation, Mr. Nandan Nilenkani on his decision to sacrifice his corporate life and business and coming to public life to serve the Nation.
What is your view? Do you think it is right decision of the government to invite Mr. Nilenkani to join the government? And do you think it is right decision of Mr. Nelenkani to leave InfoSys and join the government? Do you think he will bring some change?
People from all spheres of life should come to politics. Point here should be active role in policy making decisions in politics. The concept of upper house in parliamentary democracy was exactly this one. The working people of high caliber in society who otherwise can not win elections due to lack of spare time for direct link with public and other reasons were intended to be nominated.
Mr. Nilenkani is welcome.
Bring some change? Hopefully in his field. The overall changes are brought by leaders who have wide perspective of thought and not specialist in a particular field. Such a leader is the master of combination and permutations of different aspects of public life and such a person is a politician in a true sense. If such a person will have to lead the nation, he will chose a good and versatile cabinet not based on community and cast but on vision. Today the word politician has lost its grace in Indian perspective but it should be noted that these so called politicians are nothing more than professionals who are in political life only for earning. We see they are card players (gamblers). Whereas politics and presence in public life should be a matter of commitment.
Sage India : A quality publisher of Books and journals in india and south asia.
I am looking for a publisher (Indian or Foreign) that publishes Books on Indian Economy or Economics.?
My book raises the issue why there is perpetuation of poverty in India, inspite of the boom in software industry, burging middle class, economic reforms, globaization of Indian economy……….etc. The study focuses on the mechanism – social, economic, religious, local and global that contribute towards perpetuation of poverty in India. Finally, the book suggests a comprehensive national agenda for achieving grassroot social and economic development that will be essential for India to attain leadership in the global economy.

Yes, unconsciously, they swear the world is their playground. In addition, they’re convinced the rest of the world wants to be like them, even if its something as distasteful as blasting country music and/or rap or watching fat pyjama-clad tobacco chewers on valium hitting a ball with a stick for like 6 hours.
For “Fancy That”: where the hell did you get this information regarding Australian men & women???? Aussie women are just as empowered as American women are, perhaps even more so!!!
Seriously, do americans think they’ve colonized the world?
I am a Filipina with Greek, French, Spanish, British and Indian mixes. I love south africa’s cereal and red wine. I love korea’s entertainment. India is so exotic! Medjugorie’s for devout Catholics like me. I couldn’t count the times someone asked me if i would endorse this watevr… But most filipinos think USA is the best place on earth. HOLYWOOD’s almost swallowed the world’s film industry. they should see Bollywood and movies from my beloved france. Most books are published in there. But on judgement day, they’re going to suffer a lot and Australia will lead the world to peace. They’re also the world’s top energy users. They are sooo materialistic.
they can’t bring that to Heaven. And to the americans who would read this, I’m not counting all of you. Just most of you.
Sorry if i hurt your feelings but i mean it

Say “excellent’ or “very good” communication skills. “Adequate” is interpreted as mediocre.
We don’t usually list personal information resumes in the U.S. Your age, for example, could mean an EEO complaint for the employer. I’d delete everything under PERSONAL PROFILE and move the languates up into the resume. Delete INTERESTS too.
