“ PRINT IS LIFE ”
SHREE SURYANARAYANA MURTHY / founder
The Beginning
VGS Publishers was established by the great visionary leader in publishing & print arena, Late Shri Siram Surya Narayana Murthy in the year 1954 at Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh. He started his humble journey by opening Visalandhra General Stores selling books to student community. He started printing guides for S.S.L.C. in Telugu and English languages for the benefit of students. In 1956, he ventured into publishing of general and devotional books along with academic books in the name of V.G.S. The strategy worked out and received a very good response from the readers. He nurtured and got his six sons viz. Shri Rama Rao, Shri Narayana Rao, Shri Srinivas, Shri Venu Gopala Krishna (late), Shri Rajeswara Rao and Lakshmi Narasimham into the business.
Our Journey
Shri Rama Rao took over the reins of V.G.S. and running it successfully with the help of his brothers and sons, he as Chairman & Managing Director and his younger brother Shri Narayana Rao as Director. Predicting the future business growth and needs, they extended their activities to Vijayawada in 1972. To reach different parts of the united Andhra Pradesh, they opened a branch at Hyderabad. To meet the huge quantities of books in different fields they promoted V.G.S. Book Links which acts as a subsidiary to V.G.S. Publishers. Shri Rama Rao learnt ethics, traits and secrets and strived hard for the expansion of the business. He developed contacts with teachers, writers, distributors for the book business. They printed text books, work books, guides, study materials, question banks for the schools and colleges which have high quality print and best content and became very popular. They also ventured into printing devotional books which are really a landmark. His manner is perfectly amicable with other competitive publishers, printers and book sellers. He achieved all this with his talent, effort, persistence, continuous hard work, and foresight. His business acumen and commercial discipline brought fame and prestige and kept V.G.S. at the top of the printing & publishing industry.
