Krishan Chopra, who taught India’s publishing houses to love economics

Krishan Chopra, the chief editor of HarperCollins India, was a rare custodian of the grand human tradition of books and letters, a figure who not only preserved that tradition but propelled it into the future. His passing marks the loss of a senior leader in Indian English-language publishing who understood that the allure of books remains undiminished, even as the internet provides increasingly direct access to content written by its authors.
