Who We Are ?

A world-class Indian publishing house, built on integrity, innovation, and inclusivity—empowering authors, redefining standards.

About Sramana

A New Standard in Publishing, Rooted in Ethics, Driven by Access

Sramana is a next-generation Indian publishing house designed to meet the highest global standards of quality, legality, and accessibility. We operate at the intersection of traditional publishing values and modern technological capabilities, offering a full-spectrum platform for authors, institutions, governments, and research bodies.

Our foundation rests on editorial transparency, intellectual integrity, and linguistic inclusion — positioning Sramana as a reliable partner for serious content creators across geographies and disciplines.

Our Mission

To redefine publishing in India and beyond by solving long-standing industry challenges: lack of author support, linguistic centralization, opaque royalty systems, institutional gatekeeping, and outdated operational workflows.

We are building a new publishing infrastructure that is:

  • Author-first and contract-transparent

  • Legally compliant and ethically sound

  • Language-inclusive across Indian and global scripts

  • Scalable for both solo authors and institutional clients

  • Technology-enabled, yet editorially rigorous

Our goal is not to publish the most books — but the most credible, impactful, and accessible ones.

What We Do Differently

Sramana was created in direct response to industry inefficiencies and author frustrations. We offer:

  • Transparent Royalties: No hidden clauses. Authors retain 20–30% profit share.

  • Feedback on Rejection: Real editorial notes, not form emails.

  • No Superstition or Pseudoscience: We reject unscientific, regressive content.

  • Legal and Constitutional Content Only: Aligned with Indian and international law.

  • Full Copyright Ownership: Publisher retains rights, but authors maintain creative control.

  • Multi-language Support: English, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, and global languages.

  • Inclusive Onboarding: New, underrepresented, and rural voices are welcomed.

  • Optional Add-ons: Editorial design, SEO, cybersecurity, and launch support.

  • Fast Turnaround: Without compromising on process integrity.

  • Data-backed Strategy: From content positioning to post-launch analytics.

Who We Work With

Our publishing ecosystem supports a wide range of contributors and partners:

  • Authors — First-time, established, or anonymous

  • Researchers — Academic, policy, and independent

  • Institutions — Universities, think tanks, cultural bodies

  • Government Entities — Central, state, or international

  • Corporates — Reports, whitepapers, internal publishing

  • NGOs — Development sector content and documentation

  • Legal & Policy Authors — Constitutional and public-interest writing

We are equipped to manage everything from solo debut books to multi-author institutional volumes.

Our Ethics & Content Policy

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for:

  • Superstition, pseudoscience, or astrology-based narratives

  • Hate speech, casteism, communal bias, or misogynistic ideologies

  • Religious evangelism disguised as literature

  • Plagiarism, unverified claims, or AI-generated filler content

All published material must comply with Indian law, constitutional values, and international publishing norms. Manuscripts undergo legal and editorial vetting prior to approval.

Our Publishing Models

We offer three structured publishing paths — all with clear contracts, milestone tracking, and profit transparency:

  • Traditional Publishing: Selective acceptance with all costs and operations handled by Sramana

  • Co-Publishing: Cost-sharing model with 30%–40% profit share and author-side creative input

  • Assisted Publishing: Author-funded, professionally managed publication with premium service options

Authors always know what they’re signing, what they’re paying for, and what they’re earning.

Our Technology & Services

Beyond editorial excellence, Sramana provides integrated digital and analytical support:

  • Website Design: Author microsites, landing pages, eCommerce

  • SEO & Metadata Optimization: Keyworded visibility across search and retail platforms

  • Cybersecurity: Protection against plagiarism, leaks, and piracy

  • Sales Dashboard: Real-time access to sales performance and royalties

  • Launch Strategy: Structured promotion plans, influencer integration, and media kit support

  • Print + Digital: Global eBook distribution, POD printing, and audiobook services

  • Design Services: Covers, typesetting, illustrations, and infographics

These services are optional, modular, and built for professionals.

  • Authors who demand transparency, dignity, and control

  • Institutions that require legal compliance and multilingual reach

  • Researchers and thought leaders who want to distribute credible work with professional infrastructure
