Our mission
To provide learning resources that nurture passion and curiosity and that every parent wants for their children and every teacher recommends to their students.
About us
Publishers of K-12 textbooks, novels, exam-preparation guides and supplementary learning resources since 1960, and an emerging brand in e-learning.
01Our story
Late Shri Kewal Ram Gupta laid the foundation of Goyal Brothers Prakashan (GBP) in 1960, when India’s aspirations were taking shape. Education was central to those aspirations, and there was a dearth of quality learning resources.
Realising this need, our founder established GBP with a vision to make learning accessible to everyone.
We operate through Goyal Brothers Prakashan in the domestic market and via Goyal Books Overseas (GBO) in the international market. We have an average recorded sale of 10 million books annually, serving more than 30,000 schools and academic institutions, of which 25,000 are across India and the rest in 30 other countries.

Prakashan is Hindi for “publication”, and it grows from prakash, “light”.
02Mission and vision

To provide learning resources that nurture passion and curiosity and that every parent wants for their children and every teacher recommends to their students.

To make learning accessible to everyone, anywhere, anytime. We intend to do it by harnessing technology and passion to provide a learning experience that is immersive, unique and rooted in our timeless values.
03What we publish
We offer online learning tools and resources, school textbooks (K-12), reading guides, supplementary and competitive exam books, novels, premium notebooks and more to our learner community.
For our learning community in India, our coursebooks are modelled on the CBSE and ICSE/ISC curricula.
Our veteran editorial board ensures we meet the academic rigour and follow the prescribed curriculum, while keeping learners and learning at the centre.
