About Us

"A civilization which ceases to tell its stories will cease to exist.Sankrant Sanu (Founder and CEO, Garuda Prakashan)

Garuda has a simple mission. To create a platform where stories that bring forth the perspective and narrative of the Indian civilization can be told. For decades, nay centuries, we have been unable to speak of and advance our own narrative. We have been told our stories are not politically correct. We have been subjects to an outsider's gaze, those of our colonizers, in how we speak of ourselves. We have been told our languages, our civilization is "Backward" and it must be discarded to make "Progress".

These narratives are false. The world needs Indic wisdom, its structures and philosophy of pluralism, its sciences of the mind and body, it's understanding of liberation, its darshan of peace and happiness of all and in all spheres, more than ever before. But to share that wisdom, we must decolonize our own minds, find our own voices and gaze, write our own history rather than regurgitate theories imposed on us from colonizers, and forge a new path which rooted in our own civilization. This is the Garuda project.

We do not have many resources, but we have many blessings. Garuda flies on the wings of blessings. Come and be part of this journey, it is our journey. And bless us to succeed.

"If not we then who? If not now then when? We are duty-bound to take each of our steps in a direction that leads to Dharma." Ankur Pathak, (Co-Founder and COO, Garuda Prakashan)

Garuda Udaan

It was in 2017 that Garuda Prakashan started out with a very basic question that nobody dared to ask out loud in 70 years of independence — why are there no books available in Hindi and other languages for higher education in the country?

Garuda Prakashan has a project "Garuda Udaan", which envisages coming up with books in the field of medical, engineering and technical subjects for the higher education students in Hindi and other Indian languages.

In every university or other centers of higher learning, this is a constant question faced by students, who come from the "non-English" background. But there were no answers. Looking for quality books in these languages for subjects like engineering, medical, science and technology is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Huge financial support is required for this project, for which Garuda Prakashan looks forward to supporting from its patrons.

Garuda Delivery

Therefore, employing the best technologies available in the world, Garuda Prakashan, through its online portal — www.garudabooks.com — has changed the dynamics of the delivery of books. It has international shipping facilities with most books being delivered within three days.
