In Fond Memory of a Legendary Publishing Leader and a Father of Indian Publishing - Mr. Asoke K. Ghosh, Founding Chairman, PHI Learning
With love, fond memories, and a deep sense of loss, we remember and honour our founding chairman, Mr. Asoke K. Ghosh, who left us on February 1, 2024, yet lives on through his enduring legacy and the guiding vision he bestowed upon us.
Mr. Ghosh was not only a pioneer of academic publishing in India but also a visionary who believed deeply in the transformative power of knowledge. Through his leadership, integrity, and unwavering commitment to quality education, he built PHI Learning into a trusted name that has shaped generations of students, educators, and professionals. He was recognised with gratitude and acclaim across the globe, leaving his mark on nearly every stage of publishing.
To us, he was more than an industry legend. He was a mentor who inspired excellence, a leader who led with humility, and a guiding force who always placed authors, readers, and learning at the heart of publishing. His passion for nurturing ideas, encouraging young talent, and upholding the highest publishing standards continues to define who we are as an organisation.
Mr. Ghosh’s legacy lives on in every book we publish, every author we support, and every learner whose life has been touched by PHI Learning. His values remain deeply woven into our culture, and his vision will continue to guide us in the years ahead. At his core, he was truly a gem of a person.
The Heart of a Gem
Your words still echo in our halls, Steady, wise, and true, Guiding hands behind each page, In all that we continue to do.
You led with vision, warmth, and care, With laughter that eased every strain, Turning work into purpose, And challenges to gain.
Though you are no longer with us, Your light has never gone away— It lives in our hearts, our books, our work, And guides us, still, each day.
We bow our heads in respect and remembrance of a remarkable life well lived. His absence is deeply felt, but his legacy will endure forever.
