In Fond Memory of Our Mentor and Guide

Shri Asoke K. Ghosh, The Father of Indian Publishing

(31st Oct 1942 – 1st Feb. 2024)

In the fond memories of the literary world, we bid a heartfelt farewell to the doyen of publishing, Shri Asoke K. Ghosh, who left us on 1st February 2024, leaving behind a legacy that will forever be etched in the annals of the industry.

Born on 31st October 1942, Shri Asoke K. Ghosh was a luminary in the field of publishing, renowned for his visionary ideas and unparalleled contributions. He dedicated his life to the written word, shaping the landscape of Indian publishing and elevating it to global prominence.

A man of immense intellect and compassion, Shri Ghosh was not only a pioneer in the industry but also a mentor and guide to countless aspiring writers and publishers. His leadership and commitment to excellence set the standard for the entire community, earning him the respect and admiration of peers and colleagues alike.

Under his stewardship, numerous literary works found their way to readers across the world, fostering knowledge and understanding. Shri Asoke K. Ghosh's vision extended beyond publishing; he believed in the power of storytelling to bridge gaps and connect hearts across borders through his speeches and oratory skills.

As we mourn the passing of this remarkable soul, let us remember and celebrate Shri Ghosh’s journey for his indomitable spirit, tireless dedication, and the profound impact he had on the publishing world. His departure is an irreplaceable loss to the industry, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him and remained under his umbrella of protection.

In the wake of his departure, let us carry forward the torch of his legacy, upholding the values of literature, knowledge, and global harmony that Shri Asoke K. Ghosh so passionately championed throughout his illustrious career.

He was a Gem of a person.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.

In grief and remembrance,

PHI Learning

Online products accounted for 27 percent of the $12.4 billion spent on textbooks for secondary schools and colleges in the United States last year, according to research firm Outsell Inc. [...] McGraw-Hill’s LearnSmart software - which serves almost as a personal tutor, guiding students through e-books - debuted in 2010 with just 150,000 student users. Two years later, more than a million students were paying $25 to $35 per course to access the online tutor, which they purchase separately from the online textbook itself. Executives say sales are expected to rise again this year.
