Tulika Publishers is a South Indian Multi-lingual Children's Books publishing house.[1] [2][3][4] It often uses the imprint Tulika Books, but is separate from the New Delhi-based publisher Tulika Books.
History
Tulika was founded in 1996 as an independent publishing house by Radhika Menon. Menon and Indu Chandrasekhar ran a pre-press service called Tulika to "earn enough money" to publish their own books. Subsequently, Chandrasekhar founded Tulika Books in New Delhi in 1995, and Menon founded Tulika Publishers in Chennai.[5]
The genre of Tulika Publishers is children's literature and illustrations.[2][6]
