"Make learning happen with new and pioneering ways"

Market
Education is one of the critical requirements in any developing country. As countries aspire to grow, need for high-quality education, at all levels, will increase.

Macmillan is one of the largest publishers in the world. It is known for high-quality academic, educational, fiction and non-fiction publishing: educational course materials, science, technology and medicine, college textbooks, dictionaries, monographs and reference materials. A unique player in the education market, Macmillan Publishers India enjoys a cutting-edge niche as partner-in-progress for over 100 years.

Macmillan has enjoyed continuity in India’s fragmented educational market since its inception. Macmillan India is associated with around 15,000 schools across India. With its 22 offices and showrooms, Macmillan also has the widest all-India network.

It is probable that almost every child in India who has studied in a public school in the last 100 years or so has studied from a Macmillan book. Macmillan is synonymous with high-quality educational publishing and is the first choice of discerning school teachers and principals.

The company has also made a mark in higher education, particularly in the areas of management and has published enduring best sellers like Shiv Khera's ‘You Can Win’, ‘Living with Honour’ and ‘Freedom is not Free’ – having sold more than a million copies.

Macmillan has won 23 awards for excellence in publishing and production in the last five years. The company has also won the Capexil Award for highest exports in its category continuously for the last 22 years.

The company has been selected as a Business Superbrand by Superbrand Council of India.

Daniel and Alexander Macmillan founded Macmillan in England in 1843 and published great authors. As the company grew, an ambitious expansion programme was initiated in the late 1960s when Harold Macmillan retired from politics after his tenure as Prime Minister of England and became the Chairman of the company. Serious academic, education and literary publishing were followed by significant growth in reference programmes and college textbooks as well as educational and scientific journals. New international opportunities were grasped and publishing operations were set up worldwide.

Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH, a large media group created in 1971, whose headquarters are in Stuttgart, owns the Macmillan group.

Macmillan has been operating in India since 1892. It is amongst the oldest publishing companies in the country and has provided high-quality educational books to generations of Indians.

Macmillan Publishers India publishes a wide range of school books, undergraduate courses, customised books, corporates and academic books for reference and research. The author list of Macmillan India features greats like Rabindranath Tagore (Macmillan was the sole copyright owner for decades), I K Gujral, Jaswant Singh, I G Patel, C N R Rao and some contemporary writers like M S Swaminathan, Shiv Khera, Arindam Chaudhuri, Kapil Dev, Ankit Fadia besides other illustrious academics, scientists and teachers.

The company views its social responsibilities seriously. All books are thoroughly reviewed and processed to ensure they are accurate and the right message and content is passed on to young learners. Not surprisingly, it was chosen by UNICEF as a critical partner in the publication of the ‘Meena’ books – a venture of high social impact aiming at empowering the underprivileged girl child.

Macmillan is a top brand worldwide and has been a leader in its category for over 150 years. In India Macmillan symbolises high-quality educational materials. It has been the original publisher of some of the world’s greatest authors – Lewis Carroll, Lord Tennyson, Henry James, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, H G Wells, John Maynard Keynes, Margaret Mitchell, WB Yeats and Rabindranath Tagore.

The Macmillan India slogan ‘Redefining Learning’ symbolises the innovative, customer-focused and forward-looking spirit of the company.
