Who are we? A name? A brand? A publishing house? No. We are a powerful bridge of emotions that stretches from the soil of India to the souls scattered across the globe. We are Maneesh Media – India’s leading diaspora publishing house. The narrators of journeys, the legacy keepers, and the ones who turn your life stories into forever keepsakes.
Let us Tell You a Story
A story born in a heart that beats for India, and echoes across the world. But every story begins somewhere, and ours begins with a dream, a dream to inspire the future generations.
So let’s rewind the clock, to when an idea became an emotion, to the moment where it all began!
A simple room, a table stocked with notes and purpose, and a man with eyes full of zeal. That man was Shri Chandmal Kumawat, our late founder. His hardworking hands held a dream powerful enough to travel continents. His idea was not just to publish books, but to record history. Not the history of kings, thrones, and battles, but of Indians who left home yet carried India in their work and values. He saw their struggles, their sacrifice, their achievements, and their love for the roots, and he wondered “Who will remember them? Who will tell their stories?” And to his answer, Maneesh Media was born. The spark in his eyes was the spark of someone who knew he was building something that would outlive him. And it has.
At a time when “diaspora” wasn’t an often used word, he felt it was a treasure waiting to be known. These were the people who left their homes not for luxury, but for survival, opportunity, and dignity. These were the people who became global citizens while keeping India as their homeland. Our founder believed their journeys deserved more than just passing mentions. They deserved to be preserved with pride, not only for them but also for future generations. And so, Maneesh Media became the storyteller of global Indians. A publishing house that didn’t just print pages, it printed emotions, memories, and milestones. We became an echo that reminded every Indian abroad that you may have travelled far, but it all began here, and it deserves to live and shine here.
With every book we created, we realised something extraordinary. We did not write mere biographies, but legacies. We met countless individuals who built their dreams brick by brick in foreign lands. We listened to stories of first jobs, failures, late-night hustles, comebacks, and their roots that remained even when branches spread across the oceans. And we turned those stories into jewels. The kind that becomes a family treasure. The kind that children grow up reading. The kind that inspires generations long after the storyteller is gone. Over time, Maneesh Media evolved from a publishing house into a movement, a movement that celebrates the global Indian Spirit.
The Magic Behind the Making
People often ask, “But, how do you do it? ”How do you take a simple life story and turn it into something extraordinary?”
The answer lies in the people who make Maneesh Media what it is.
A content team that listens not with ears, but with heart. A design team that transforms emotions into visuals. A production team that treats every book like a legacy in the making, and a communication team that builds bridges with people across cultures and continents. Every department, every hand, every heart works together to preserve stories with a sense of honour. We don’t just compile facts. We capture emotions. We freeze memories. We immortalise journeys.
What Makes Us…US?
Decades later, when we look at the shelves filled with our books, one thing becomes clear – our founder didn’t just build an organisation, he built a family. A family that tells stories, a family of dreamers, a family of believers. He taught us that journeys are not written on paper; they are engraved in our hearts, and as storytellers, it is our duty to translate those stories into words. Today, Maneesh Media continues to walk with the same purpose, with the same passion, with the same devotion to the diaspora that our founder instilled in us.
The Soul of Our Story
We are storytellers of the global Indian journey. We are curators of remembrance. We are preservers of culture. We are guardians of many legacies. This is who we are. This is who we will always be.
