Our Story
Blue Pencil Publishing, as it was known prior to the rebranding, was set up by the late Sujoy Gupta, a renowned corporate biographer, in 2002. It began as a dream rooted in family tradition and academic excellence. Founded as a family-run academic publishing venture, Blue Pencil evolved into something far more expansive and exciting. What started in our living room with a shared passion for quality literature has blossomed into a dynamic publishing house dedicated to bringing exceptional stories to young readers across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
​
Over the years, we've transformed from our academic origins to become champions of diverse voices, specializing in children's literature, literary translations, and vernacular language publications that celebrate the rich tapestry of human storytelling. Our newest avatar, Blue Pangolin Publishing, reflects our core belief that every child deserves access to beautifully crafted stories that speak to their heritage, imagination, and dreams.
​
Our Mission
​
At Blue Pangolin Publishing, we are more than just a publishing house – we are storytellers, dream-weavers, and bridge-builders. Our mission is to stimulate young minds by creating books that don't just tell stories, but transport readers to new worlds through exceptional content, stunning illustrations, and uncompromising product quality.
​
We believe that language is a gateway to culture, identity, and understanding. Through our focus on vernacular languages and translations, we ensure that children and young adults can discover both familiar voices from their own communities and exciting perspectives from around the world. Every book we publish is a carefully crafted invitation to explore, learn, and grow.​
​
