About this listen

 Through every adversity the world has faced, it has found a constant friend and companion in books. From pocketbooks during the Second World War to technology that allows people to carry many books at one go in the form of ebooks, our relationship with books has never faltered. This has been possible due to the adaptability of the publishing industry which has evolved with changing times, to ensure that the essential commodity for our mind and soul always remains accessible. Publishing Perspectives by Roli Pulse attempts to de-construct this ever-changing industry by bringing publishing stalwarts together for engaging discussions on its various aspects: what is independent publishing? How can books in regional languages become more accessible to global readers? What does publishing mean for young professionals in this industry? How has book marketing changed in the COVID-19 world? These episodes, published every week, open the doors of the publishing world for readers and publishers alike. Roli Pulse is a digital initiative by Roli Books.

    Ep 13 How to Grow Readership
    Oct 12 2020
    The ongoing pandemic, especially the period of lockdown, significantly affected the sale of books through brick and mortar stores. Yet, at the same time, it also gifted the publishers with the opportunity to increase their readership. The lockdown may have surged the popularity of ebooks and audiobooks, but print books still hold the ground, which has witnessed growth in sale post-lockdown. But how has readership altered across genres and different age groups? What kind of preferences do readers have, or has it evolved during lockdown? How has the pandemic affected independent publishers and their readership? Does the digital platform hold the power to influence readers? Durba Chattaraj, Manasi Subramaniam, Vikrant Mathur and Rukmini Banerji, in conversation with Sayoni Basu, share their insights. Durba Chattaraj is faculty at Ashoka University. Manasi Subramaniam is the Executive Editor and the Head of Literary Rights at Penguin Random House India. Rukmini Banerji is the CEO of Pratham Education Foundation. Vikrant Mathur is the Director of Nielsen BookScan India Sayoni Basu is the co-founder of Duckbill, and Consulting Editor at Penguin Random House India.
