Penguin Random House India has clarified that it is not the publisher of former Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s upcoming memoir, following media reports that suggested the publishing house was involved with the project.
The clarification comes as reports indicate that multiple publishers in India are currently vying for the rights to publish and distribute the book.
Sonia Gandhi, one of India’s most prominent political figures, has yet to formally announce details about the memoir or its official publication timeline. The book is expected to cover her decades-long political career, including her tenure as president of the Indian National Congress and her role in shaping the country’s coalition governments.
Penguin Random House India declined to comment further beyond its statement denying involvement with the project.
Book industry observers note that memoirs from senior political leaders typically attract significant publishing interest due to their commercial potential and historical significance. The bidding for such projects often involves multiple major publishing houses seeking exclusive rights.
No official announcement regarding the memoir’s publication date, publisher, or content has been made by Sonia Gandhi or her representatives.
