Oxford Journals strengthens position in South Asia with new Indian
office

Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press (OUP), is 
pleased to announce the opening of a new sales office in India. 
Based in Kolkata, this will be managed by Kaushik Ghosh, recently 
appointed Library Sales Manager for India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, 
and Sri Lanka.

OUP has a strong presence in India, with offices in Mumbai, 
Chennai, Kolkata, and its headquarters in Delhi. The new 
appointment for the Journals division marks an increased 
commitment to providing a fast, effective sales service to 
customers in this emerging market.

Oxford Journals is an international publisher of scholarly 
journals, with over 180 publications across a broad range of 
subject areas, from the humanities and social sciences, to the 
sciences, and medicine. It reaches customers from over 190 
countries worldwide, with offices based in the UK, USA, China, 
Japan, and now India.

Oxford Journals has built strong relationships within the Indian 
market for several years, working with major library consortia 
across India and South Asia, including INFLIBNET (Information and 
Library Network), and CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial 
Research). As a market where growth in investment for science and 
scholarly research is the second largest in the world, Oxford 
Journals hopes to expand on these existing relationships to 
ensure widespread access to its content.

"We're delighted to have a permanent member of the team now based 
in India," commented Richard Gedye, Sales Director, Oxford 
Journals. He continued,

"Kaushik brings a wealth of experience to the role, having worked 
for Globe Publication Pvt Ltd for nine years, where he sold 
content to libraries and library consortia. Kaushik will be based 
in India, but will be managing sales of our print and electronic 
journals, digital archives, and consortia sales across South 
Asia."

Kaushik can be contacted at the Oxford Journals India office from 
4 November.
