The first ever ‘National Book Printers Conference’ was conducted at Thiruvananthapuram on 17th and 18th November 2011. More than 330 delegates, including our representatives, attended this event. Print CEOs covered a wide range of topics ranging from ‘types of export jobs’ and ‘the need for an export specific infrastructure’ to ‘business models based on a content development approach’.

Mr. Pramod Khera, Executive Director of Repro India, presented a white paper at the event where he highlighted the five concern areas for the Indian book industry –

•  Fragmented nature of the industry
•  Quaint trade laws
•  Infrastructural issues
•  Lack of marketing initiatives
•  Lack of co-ordination among the key stake-holders

Mr. Khera then announced the concept of a book city in India where he provided a detailed insight through ‘Vision 2017’. The event provided a unique platform for all industry participants to converge and discuss various business issues and concerns.
