Encyclopædia
Britannica India, based in New Delhi, is a leading provider
of reference and learning products. It is a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Chicago-based Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., which
was originally founded in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the 18th century.
It brings to Indian audiences the indisputable authority over
knowledge, epitomized by the 32-volume Encyclopædia
Britannica, the oldest reference work in English, first
printed in 1768. Our global editorial operations are guided
by some of the world's most distinguished scholars, several
of them Nobel laureates.
Over the
centuries, as the quest for knowledge has intensified, the
media to access it have diversified. Our products are now
found across the spectrum of traditional and futuristic media,
from print to electronic to Web-based. As our repertoire of
products expands, our outlook moulds itself to deliver what
knowledge seekers need in the digital age.
Our comprehensive
catalogue includes encyclopaedias for all age groups from
early readers to advanced learners; multi-volume reference
products; focused products on art, culture, and history; and
curriculum support materials, available in a diversity of
media. Besides marketing Britannica's existing global range
in South Asian markets, we develop and market products customized
to the specific needs of Indian users. To extend our regional
reach, we also undertake translations of our products into
Indian languages.
