Founded in the 1940s, V&S Publishers has built a legacy of publishing high-quality, affordable books that make learning accessible and meaningful for readers across India and beyond.
Today, V&S Publishers stands tall with thousands of titles, led by a father–son team. But the heritage spans nine decades. The roots go back to the 1930s, when our forefathers opened a modest bookshop in Delhi and held a radical belief for that time: knowledge must not be the preserve of a few; it should belong to everyone.
From that conviction began a mission of affordability and access. Small, practical titles made complex ideas simple for everyday readers. Students, homemakers, professionals, and farmers found in these books a trustworthy companion for learning and progress.
In the 1970s the mission took shape as Pustak Mahal, bringing pocket guides, self-help, and the iconic Rapidex English Speaking Course into millions of homes. Rapidex became a cultural milestone — opening doors to jobs, education, and confidence for decades.
In 2010, a new chapter began as V&S Publishers — carrying forward the same belief that knowledge is a right, not a privilege, now connecting heritage with digital innovation.
As publishing shifts rapidly to digital, V&S continues to adapt — expanding audiobooks, strengthening digital distribution, and exploring AI-enabled content workflows — so the original promise can reach further, faster.
Rooted in a family tradition of making knowledge accessible and affordable for every home across India.

A closer look at the legacy, values, and reach of V&S Publishers.
V&S Publishers traces its roots back to the 1930s, when the founders opened a small bookshop in Delhi, with formal publishing beginning in 1940. That makes the legacy nearly 90 years old, evolving from a modest bookshop into one of India's trusted educational publishing houses.
In the 1970s, the founders' mission took shape as Pustak Mahal, which introduced pocket guides, self-help books, and the iconic Rapidex English Speaking Course — a title that became a cultural milestone across India. In 2010, the business was carried forward under the new name V&S Publishers, blending that heritage with digital innovation.
V&S is guided by six core principles: Value & Substance (quality and credibility in every book), Accessibility, Affordability, a Reader-First approach, Lasting Impact for learners and professionals, and a commitment to CSR & Literacy through book donation and community programmes.
