Printing is one of India’s largest industries, and PrintWeek India is the first truly nationwide title to cover its issues and news.

Modelled on Haymarket’s essential UK print trade weekly, PrintWeek, the magazine is written, produced and printed in India and includes dedicated specialist sections to cater for pre-media, digital, press, post-press, paper and print buying sectors.

At its launch in 2008, PrintWeek India’s target distribution was 12,000 print professionals in 200 cities. This controlled free circulation – audited from launch by media industry watchdog BPA Worldwide – will rise to a maximum of 20,000 by the end of 2010, when the magazine will become a paid-for subscription title.

Editor Ramu Ramanathan has 20 years’ print industry experience and leads a team of full-time, independent journalists covering national and global print business news, trends and analysis.

The title draws on broad expertise in Haymarket’s international print and packaging portfolio, which also includes Printing World, PrintBuyer, printweek.com, Packaging News, packagingnews.co.uk, pressXchange.com, German print title Druck & Medien, and Proprint in Australia.
