This new component ownership aims to allow Penguin Random House India to exclusively sell and distribute titles published through more than one hundred independent foreign publishers, which are part of IPG, on the Indian subcontinent, with immediate effect.
In a separate new agreement, Penguin Random House India will open a new deal with IPG’s Trafalgar Square Publishing on October 1.
Under this contract, Trafalgar Square will manage the sale and distribution of all rights securities in the United States, its territories, Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union. This applies to the Penguin Random House India and PRH Southeast Asia catalogs, based in Singapore.
Together, that news sees two major divisions of the world’s largest publishing house organizing to sell in several of the world’s largest and richest publishing markets.
Gaurav Shrinagesh, CEO of Penguin Random House India and PRH Southeast Asia, said in a prepared statement: “A partnership with one of the world’s largest e-book suppliers will open the Indian subcontinental market to a wide variety of e-books and writings.
“Our partnership with IPG is perfectly suited to our purpose of making certain readers have a diversity and quality of paintings written from. At the same time, our agreement with Trafalgar Square Publishing will expand the number of readers of our titles in the Indian and Southeast Asia markets.
“We have published some notable books and will be a valuable addition to the list of all readers. These partnerships allow books to go beyond barriers and explore new sales channels, perceive new markets, and gain valuable insights for customers.”
Joe Matthews, CEO of IPG, said, “This partnership with Penguin Random House India is very exciting for our company and is consistent with our continued expansion and reach.”
And Brooke O’Donnell, CEO of Trafalgar Square Publishing, talks about making the Penguin Random House India and PRH Southeast Asia books “available to readers in North America, the UK and Europe.”
“We feel privileged to upload these two new divisions to our prestigious portfolio of editors of Penguin Random House we already represent, Penguin Random House UK, Australia, New Zealand and China.”
Trafalgar Square Publishing was founded in 1973 and in the fall of 2006, Chicago Review Press, Inc. purchased Trafalgar Square, making it the leading American distributor of British and Australian publishers. Trafalgar Square Publishing distributes to clients such as Penguin Random House UK, Penguin Random House Australia, Pan Macmillan UK, Collins UK and Head of Zeus.
It is the distributor of more than a hundred publishers in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China and Germany, representing more than 20,000 titles.
IPG, trafalgar Square’s parent company, founded in 1971 and describes itself as the first particular organization created to market independent press titles for e-book commerce.
