The last few years have heralded the age of the digital platform economy. Companies such as Amazon, Google and Uber have created on line structures that are enabling a wide range of human activities. This has opened the path for radical changes in how we work, socialise and create value in the economy. The end result for the consumer is life changing. Whether it's food, movie tickets, flights, hotel bookings or even grocery, an entire world resides in the confines of the computer - all accessible at the click of a button.
A Digital Model for the Book Industry
One of the most exciting outcomes of disruptive technologies, for both publishers and readers is the accessibility of content. Books can be bought at a click of a button, enabling publishers to reach millions of readers, anywhere in the world.
By moving out of our traditional business model, we have entered an exciting space in the new playing field of the digital marketplace. So that any reader can get the book of his choice; and any publisher, anywhere in the world, can reach a reader, anywhere in the world.
Strengthening Current Businesses
Our traditional businesses continue to grow ensuring greater predictability and realisations. We continue to strengthen our relationships with our customers, offering them greater value while opening up gateways to enhanced business growth for them. Our longstanding partnerships with Indian and multinational publishers, enable us to achieve greater efficiencies, through predictable volume planning. In Africa, a reviving market is enabling us drive increased businesses in the key 22 countries - while also adding newer clients to our portfolio.
The Future
As we enter a new year, and a new phase of our growth, we are well on our way to entrenching ourselves in the digital era. We are continually planning for the next wave that is required with the rapidly changing environment.
