History

O
ur predecessor ‘S. Chand & Co.’ was established over Eighty years ago. Where we stand today, is a result of years of dedication in Indian educational industry. Late Mr. Shyam Lal Gupta, who was a driving force behind the establishment of federations and associations for the Indian educational industry, founded the Company in 1970 as ‘S. Chand & Co. Private Limited’. Our Company was recently converted into a public limited company and renamed to ‘S Chand And Company Limited’ in September 2016.

A Vision for the Future

S Chand Group is the oldest and the largest publishing and education service enterprise with footprints across the nation with 50 branches, 60 marketing offices, exporting to 40 countries, state of the art printing and publishing facilities and 2000+ employees. The momentous step was taken in 1939 by Late Shri. Shyam Lal Gupta in a narrow, insignificant by-lane of Chandni Chowk with marked determination and zeal. The philosophy that drove the man was, that an underdeveloped country like India could only move forward if its people were educated. The objective was clear, to make available educational content by Indian authors at affordable prices to the students.
