New Horizon Media

New Horizon Media is an Indian publishing company headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It is the parent organisation behind Kizhakku Pathippagam (கிழக்கு பதிப்பகம்), a Tamil-language publishing house founded on 1 February 2004 by Badri Seshadri, K. Sathyanarayanan, and R. Anandkumar. The founders were motivated by a shared interest in the publishing industry, and the well-known Tamil writer and journalist Pa. Raghavan served as editor from the launch until August 2011. Badri Seshadri is currently both editor and publisher. In its first year, the publishing house released about fifty books, followed by another fifty in 2005. Early successes included N. Chokkan's 'Ambani: A Success Story', Soma. Valliappan's 'Alla Alla Panam', and Pa. Raghavan's 'Dollar Desam'. Within two years of Kizhakku Pathippagam's launch, New Horizon Media established three additional imprints: Varum, Nalam, and Prodigy. These expanded the catalogue into philosophy, spiritual books, medical and health titles, and children's literature. An English-language imprint followed under the name Indian Writing, which translated notable Tamil novels into English. The company also began publishing in Malayalam under the name Pulari, though Malayalam publishing was discontinued after 2009. Within its first five years, New Horizon Media had released roughly one thousand books. New Horizon Media publishes across a wide range of subjects. Its Tamil list includes titles such as 'Dollar Desam', 'Nilamellam Raththam', 'Mayavallai', 'Viduthalai Puligal', 'Fidel Castro', 'Alla Alla Panam', 'Ambani: A Success Story', 'Google's Success Story', and a biography of Narayana Murthy. It has also published works by authors including Ashokamitran, Indira Parthasarathy, Madhan, and Crazy Mohan. The Prodigy imprint for children has brought out around two hundred titles and also publishes the monthly magazine 'Medhai'. Through the Minimax imprint, New Horizon Media issues cookbooks and short books on politics and current affairs. Selected titles are also released as audiobooks. The company operates as a private Indian publisher. Its official website is nhm.in, and the Kizhakku Pathippagam website has been archived by the Wayback Machine.
