Founded in 1962 and acquired by Amazon in 2017, Westland is one of the largest English-language trade publishers in India. Our bestselling authors include Chetan Bhagat, Amish Tripathi, Ashwin Sanghi, Devdutt Pattanaik, Ashok Banker, Rujuta Diwekar, Rashmi Bansal, Anita and Harsha Bhogle and Preeti Shenoy, among others. We publish print books, e-books as well as Kindle short reads. Our genres range from popular and literary fiction to business, politics, biography, spirituality, health and cookery. Since Nielsen has started their Bookscan in India — which tracks bestselling books across the country — Westland has consistently had a strong presence in the top 50 bestselling books charts. Since 2017 Westland is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon Eurasia Holdings SARL. We bring Amazon Publishing's bestselling international books to the Indian market and readers, and have launched our new imprint 'Context' in 2018, which publishes literary fiction and non-fiction by some of the finest Indian writers, graphic novelists and chroniclers of our times.
