About the publisher

Aleph Book Company is an independent Indian publishing firm founded in May 2011 by David Davidar in partnership with R. K. Mehra and Kapish Mehra of Rupa Publications India. Ravi Singh joined the start-up about six months later as co-publisher, and Bena Sareen shortly thereafter as Creative Director.At Aleph, our focus is on publishing books of enduring literary quality. The hallmarks of the fiction and non-fiction the company publishes are originality, style, substance, readability, and that ineffable quality that separates the merely competent from the good and the great. Aleph’s authors run the gamut from debut or unheralded writers at the cutting edge of fiction and non-fiction to well-established names who are emblematic of literary excellence in India and throughout the world.
