About us

A publishing house built for authors, not shelves

Pink Lotus Publication House started in Varanasi with one desk, one manuscript and a promise: the author keeps every rupee their book earns.

Mission · Vision · Values

The promise behind every Pink Lotus book

Pink Lotus Publication House began in Varanasi with one stubborn belief: an author should never trade their royalty for a chance to be read.

Mission

Our Mission

Make world-class publishing accessible to every Indian writer.

To give every author — first-timer or veteran — an honest, transparent path from manuscript to printed book: real editors, premium design, free ISBN, worldwide distribution, and 100% royalty that never leaves the author's hands.

  • Honest, fixed pricing
  • 100% royalty, forever
  • Published in 14 days

Vision

Our Vision

One million published voices from the subcontinent by 2030.

We want a India where no story dies in a drawer. Pink Lotus is building the country's most trusted author-first publishing house — Indian voices on every major shelf, in every language, read across the world.

  • Every Indian language
  • Global retail reach
  • Authors, not inventory

Values

Our Values

Honesty, craft, empathy and complete author ownership.

We answer every message personally, we never hide a cost, and we treat a first manuscript with the same care as a bestseller. Your book carries your name — so every decision stays yours.

  • Human replies, always
  • Zero hidden charges
  • Full rights stay yours
Meet the founder

Ms. Mousumi Acharya, founder & publisher

The woman behind Pink Lotus Publication House — an author herself, and the reason no writer here ever pays with their royalty.

Ms. Mousumi Acharya, founder of Pink Lotus Publication House, Varanasi

Ms. Mousumi Acharya

Founder · Self-published author · Varanasi

Born and raised in the lanes of Varanasi, Mousumi grew up between temple bells and library shelves — a girl who filled notebooks long before anyone called her a writer. Publishing her own book taught her how lonely and expensive that road can be for an Indian author, and how often a beautiful manuscript dies simply because nobody replied.

So she built the house she wished she had. Pink Lotus Publication House exists for one reason: to turn every author's dream into a real, printed, purchasable book — with honest pricing, real editors, and 100% royalty that stays with the author.

Alongside publishing, she works as a Process Coordinator at Rajendra Toyota — a discipline that shows in how Pink Lotus runs: clear timelines, nothing lost, every author personally answered. She still reads manuscripts late at night, and she still calls each launch day “the best part of the job”.

Self-published author

She walked the author's path first, and never forgot it.

Rooted in Varanasi

A publishing house run from the oldest city of stories.

Author-first always

Full royalty, full rights, full credit — non-negotiable.

“Every manuscript on my desk is somebody's courage. My only job is to make sure it reaches a reader.”

— Ms. Mousumi Acharya
