Signet Press is a publishing house in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, founded in 1943 by Dilip Kumar Gupta (known as D.K.) and his mother-in-law, Neelima Guha Thakurtha.[1][2]
History
Signet Press has published books by various authors, including Jawaharlal Nehru's Discovery of India, Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay's Pather Panchali and Chander Pahar, and Jibanananda Das's Rupasi Bangla and Banalata Sen. The film director Satyajit Ray started working as a visual designer for Signet Press in 1943 where he designed many book covers.[3]
After D.K. Gupta's illness and death in the late 1970s, Signet Press temporarily ceased operations. It was later revived when acquired by Ananda Publishers.
