Delhi Press Careers & Recruitment

Corporate Overview & History

Delhi Press Ltd. is one of India’s oldest and most diversified publishing houses. Founded in 1939 by Vishwanath Prasad (V.P.) Gupta, the company began as a modest printing press in Delhi, initially catering to government notices and educational pamphlets. By the 1950s, Delhi Press entered the magazine segment with titles such as Sarita (launched 1945) and Grihshobha (launched 1979), which quickly became household names across Hindi‑speaking regions. Over the next six decades, the group expanded its portfolio to include over 70 titles in multiple languages—Hindi, English, Urdu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, and Bengali—covering genres from women’s lifestyle and children’s literature to investigative journalism and business.

Today, Delhi Press operates in more than 30 Indian states, with a combined readership exceeding 30 million. The firm’s core mission is “to inform, inspire and entertain the Indian reader while upholding journalistic integrity and social responsibility.” Its business model blends traditional print circulation with digital subscriptions, licensing, and ancillary services such as custom publishing, content syndication, and event management.

Delhi Press’s operations are organized into four primary divisions:

• Print Publishing: Production, editorial, and distribution of 70+ magazines and periodicals. Flagship titles include Sarita, Grihshobha, Champak, The Caravan, Pratiyogita Darpan, and Vikaspedia.
