Penguin Random House
Background
Penguin Random House is the world’s largest trade book publisher that has published right from Nobel laureates and Heads of States to some of the world’s most renowned personalities.
Our work
We worked with Penguin Random House India for over 8 years and led their digital strategy and initiatives (which won us 2 prestigious awards in the country). Our work for them also included the audiobook production for Penguin India and Penguin US.
I have produced audiobooks for over 150 titles since 2017. I had the privilege to record in person with Arundhati Roy, Dr. Shashi Tharoor and Ruskin Bond.
“Inglorious Empire”
Shashi Tharoor
Dr. Shashi Tharoor is considered as one of the best orators in the world and it was an honour to have recorded with him for his much talked about book, “The Inglorious Empire”. We all had seen his viral videos (excerpts from his book had been doing the rounds on social media) where he was catching the British empire by its horns. To experience that in the flesh was mind-blowing.
“Ministry of Utmost Happiness”
Arundhati Roy
I recorded “The Ministry of Utmost Happiness” with Arundhati Roy. Known to stir a storm with her opinions, Arundhati, a Man Booker prize-winner, wrote her second work of fiction 20 years after her debut. So it was a big responsibility for me to get it right.
Ruskin Bond
We’ve all grown up reading Ruskin Bond and it was so heart-warming to work with such a fine person over a week. It was surreal to hear Ruskin narrate his stories.
