The Indian publishing industry has charted a course of growth, grit, and resilience. With the world's attention focused on it, the industry is South Asia's nerve centre. Thus, creating a B2B platform for publishers at an Indian literary festival became essential, and the Jaipur BookMark (JBM) was conceived, running parallel to the Jaipur Literature Festival. In 2025, JBM celebrated twelve wonderful years.
Jaipur BookMark (JBM) brings together stakeholders of the book trade from across the world – from publishers to literary agents, writers, translators, translation agencies, and booksellers. It not only gives them an opportunity to "talk" business (through panel discussions and roundtables), but also provides the right atmosphere to inspire one-on-one meetings and networking. This fosters great business relationships, and allows for the occasional contract to be signed, too.

The invaluable sharing of experiences garnered at our literary festivals as platforms that promote, preserve and spread awareness of literature and diverse cultures was very rewarding.
I love JBM and its intimacy and look forward to it next year.
I enjoyed listening, sharing and being a part of the panel discussions and agents round table…One is proud to see how JBM is going from strength to strength.
It was a pleasure to participate in the festival directors’ roundtable. Networking and keeping each other informed about our activities is immensely important.
