HarperCollins Publishers India has acquired the worldwide rights to the debut book by business strategist and corporate leader Rajiv Bakshi, reinforcing its commitment to publishing Indian business voices with global relevance. The title will be published by HarperCollins Publishers India and released internationally, extending its reach to readers across multiple markets.
A Playbook for the Modern Workplace
The forthcoming book explores executive success and the changing dynamics of leadership in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving business landscape. Positioned around the new rules of winning at work, it aims to provide practical insights for professionals navigating disruption, evolving organisational structures and heightened expectations around leadership performance.
For publishers, business books remain a resilient category, driven by sustained demand from entrepreneurs, corporate executives and young professionals seeking actionable career and management insights. The acquisition reflects confidence that India-produced leadership thinking can resonate well beyond domestic audiences.
Expanding the Global Business Narrative
Worldwide rights acquisitions are a strategic signal in publishing. Rather than limiting a title to regional distribution, they allow publishers to build international visibility, expand translation and licensing opportunities, and position authors for broader commercial success. For HarperCollins Publishers India, the deal strengthens its portfolio of business and leadership titles while highlighting the increasing export potential of Indian management perspectives.
The Last Word
As India's influence in global business continues to expand, publishers are increasingly backing executives alongside entrepreneurs as thought leaders. The next wave of bestselling management books may not simply explain leadership—they will reflect how Indian boardrooms are shaping global conversations on work, strategy and organisational transformation.
