When a Scientist and a Monk Collaborate to create a coffee table book, it is a guaranteed route to a magical experience!

Presenting yet another unique experiment by Shoolini University !!!

On the occasion of India’s 79th Independence Day we are delighted to announce the release of an immensely beautiful book ‘Whispers of Blossoms’.

Swami Krishanananda Giri (a former scientist and now a senior monk of the Yogananda Society) had captured hundreds of photographs of rare Himalayan flowers in his camera during his many journeys of the region. When he presented them to Prof. P. K. Khosla, Chancellor, Shoolini University of Biotechnology & Management Sciences, the learned professor and his team researched and wrote an informative and interesting scientific piece on each flower…

Together they created the ingredients for a unique and magical coffee table book, which we have the pleasure of releasing today!

Happy to share our Astronaut Author Arvinder Singh Bahal’s interview on NDTV after returning on Earth….

At 80 years old, Arvinder Singh Bahal has done what most of us only dream of. He's visited all 196 countries, skydived over Mount Everest, touched down on ev...

We are delighted to share that our author Arvinder Bahal will be living his cherished dream tomorrow - i.e. “to travel into space”.

He is amongst the six people announced by Blue Origin - as its crew on space flight NS-34, that is scheduled to lift off from West Texas on Sunday, August 3, 2025.

Till now, Arvi’s passion for travel and adventure, had made him visit every country in the world.

In the introduction of his first book ‘The Tireless Traveler Arvi writes, “I have flown over three million miles on various airlines, which is equivalent of more than a hundred and twenty trips around the Earth - at the Equator. I can add another million miles to this tally by including the total travel distance of over fifty cruises which have transcended continents, oceans or both. During my six expeditions to Antarctica, the Arctic region, North and South Poles, besides using a diverse variety of air-transport and sea-vessels including lifeboats, I have ridden dog-sleds and trekked on foot. I once hopped onto an overnight freight train that was headed for the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, in the northwest corner of Africa. On another day and place, I ensconced myself in an open wagon train carrying iron ore. Besides crossing the Indo-Bhutan border on a motorcycle in the early-seventies, I have experienced every possible animal ride or animal aided transport used in the world….”

We wish Arvinder (Arvi) Singh Bahal, a safe, enjoyable and memorable journeying in space…, which we will capture and share, in his second book!

The business of coffee table book publishing is evolving rapidly; largely influenced by shifts in design trends, technology, consumer behavior, and environmental concerns. Here are some of our thoughts on where it’s headed:

1. Rise of niche & personalized books: Fatigued by excessive digitalization and media clutter, smart marketers and discerning professionals are providing their stakeholders with visually appealing books wowen around - culture, fashion, food, design, travel, philosophical themes; embedded with stories, experiences and perspectives.

2. Self-publishing & on-demand printing: Technology is aiding production of limited editions, which are produced by specialized agencies - without the need of traditional publishers.

3. Premium luxury & collectors appeal: Coffee table books are seen as collectibles for artistic layouts, high production values, premium paper and improvised packaging.

4. Rising trend of personalized gifting: Customized books are aspirational and gift-worthy items, especially in case of personal, family or business milestones; high profile collections, memorabilia, holidays or unique professional achievements.

5. Hybrid models with integrated digital experience: Interactive and immersive elements are merged through QR codes to provide behind-the-scenes content, video interviews or interactive galleries.

6. Promoting sustainability: Coffee table book publishers are increasingly using recycled paper, soy-based inks, and carbon-neutral printing to enhance branding of their clients.

7. Effective storytelling tool: Influencers, artists, chefs, photographers, professionals and entrepreneurs are bypassing traditional publishers to create books as part of their brand building strategy. It allows them to tell their stories in an unbridled fashion.

8. AI & Design Tools: AI is helping create (or enhance) written and visual content at low investment and high speed, and at the same time retain individualistic storytelling elements.

9. Translations & localized content: Technology and design tools are helping in creating localized editions at affordable cost and short turnarounds, thereby allowing marketers to course correct or address different markets more efficiently.

10. Marketing & brand strategy integration: Coffee table books are now brand statements. From corporates, professionals, hospitals, schools, universities, industry bodies, government departments to luxury, leisure, entertainment and consumer brands; everyone is creating bespoke books as part of their brand identity.

Coffee table books are not dying. They are transforming. From luxury collectibles to brand extensions, they are becoming more curated, interactive and accessible. The focus is shifting towards quality, uniqueness and emotional connection.

If you're thinking of creating one, now is a great time - especially if it tells a compelling story, serves a community or creates visual delight.

Whether we wish to call it the or - there couldn’t be a better time for as well as to make their voices heard on the global stage through custom-published books.

Although this requires bit of an effort to identify appropriate employees/former employees to share archival material/information; and a team of external partners (business journalists, photographers, oral history experts and a specialist publisher)… it is only a matter of time that when such stories are published and they will make global stakeholders understand the cultural context, value-systems, working styles and the real ethos of .

While iconic global brands masterfully craft and share their brand stories to forge lasting connections with their audiences, Indian brands tend to prioritize product features and specifications over narrative-driven storytelling, thereby missing opportunities to build brand equity, evoke emotions and create a loyal customer base.

Most Indian brands also seem to be hesitant to share their stories due to concerns about either cost or competition, or are simply unaware of the long-term benefits that emotional storytelling can bring to brand identity and customer loyalty. By shifting their focus towards non-standard practices of storytelling (including books), Indian brands can unlock new avenues for growth, differentiation, and customer engagement.
