Bloomsbury is expanding into India with a standalone business based in Delhi that will launch in May. The new company will be led by Rajiv Beri, who spent the past 15 years as managing director of Macmillan’s operations in India. “We are hugely enthusiastic about this new venture and are looking forward to building our presence in this growing market,” ceo Nigel Newton said in a statement. For the past 25 years Bloomsbury titles were marketed and distributed in India by Penguin.
