The Publisher
Kahani Press
Stories rooted in heritage. Crafted for everyone.
Kahani Press is an independent publishing imprint built around a simple conviction: the Indian subcontinent holds some of the world’s richest untold stories — of forgotten kingdoms and ancient mysteries, of legendary heroes and hidden worlds, of ordinary people drawn into extraordinary moments. Our mission is to bring those stories to readers everywhere.
Founded by author N. B. Raj, Kahani Press is devoted to fiction that lives where history meets imagination, where folklore brushes against reality, and where the past continues to shape the present. Its work is grounded in meticulous research, rigorous craft, and immersive storytelling.
What We Are Building
A Connected Library
A growing collection of stories that stand on their own — yet contribute to a larger, living literary universe.
A Modern Mythos
Worlds drawn from the mangroves of Bengal to the peaks of the Himalayas, from lost empires to wholly new realms.
A Global Voice
Stories distinctly South Asian in inspiration, and universal in their appeal — for readers anywhere in the world.
