The Beginning

Nearly Nine Decades
of Publishing.

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.
