History

Delhi Press was established in 1939 by late Mr. Vishva Nath. The Caravan, an English literary magazine, was launched in the following year and became an immediate success, enjoying wide readership in the country. In 1945, Sarita, a Hindi monthly magazine, was launched. From the very first issue, Sarita became the favourite household Hindi magazine. Sarita has remained the flagship magazine of the Delhi Press that best captures the ideology of the group in fighting against obscurantism and authoritarianism. Over the years, the group has launched a number of magazines that have been just as successful : Mukta, Champak, Grihshobha and Saras Salil. Today, it publishes 30 magazines in 9 languages.
