APK Publishers is a young and dynamic publishing house based in Pune, India. It is the only “truly English” publishing house based in Pune, and one of the very few publishing houses with a mission of helping first-time writers. It was founded in July 2008 by Prashant Karhade and Anagha Karhade.
Prashant, an IITian and a writer himself, has written one fiction book (Memory Remains: Journey Of An Indian To The U.S. & Back), one non-fiction book (Making It On My Own: Ten Inspiring Stories Of Your Entrepreneur-Next-Door) and four children’s story books (Jumbo The Aeroplane, Kiki and Meeka, The Dinosaur Cloud, and The Hungry Python). He wrote Memory Remains in 2007 and sent out the proposal to big publishing houses in India. One of them responded saying that, “The editorial feedback on your book is positive. Please send us 3 lakhs so that we can get started on your book.” Responses from some of the other publishers were similar except the fact that the amount varied slightly. Prashant didn’t give them the money that they were asking for of course, and started APK Publishers instead!
