Ep 1 Publishing: Pre and Post COVID-19

Ep 1 Publi Kapil Kapoor, Sophy Thompson, Michel Moushabeck and Karthika V.K. – publishers from three different continents, and companies of different scale – join host Amit Varma to discuss the impact of Covid-19 on the business of publishing industry: how the industry was functioning before the pandemic struck, and how it is responding to the pressure of the adversity now. The episode also explores how Covid-19 has not just affected publishing; it has also affected readership. Insightful views are exchanged on how, perhaps, we are subconsciously responding to the effect of such times on the way we read. Karthika V.K. is Publisher at Westland. Kapil Kapoor is Managing Director at Roli Books. Michel Moushabeck is Publisher at Interlink Publishing. Sophy Thompson is CEO and Publisher at Thames and Hudson. Amit Varma is a writer and podcaster and hosts the popular podcast, The Seen and the Unseen.
