Company Profile:

In today's dynamic and fast-paced environment, everybody wants their job delivered "YESTERDAY". While that is a physical impossibility, Rakesh Press comes surprisingly close to achieving the impossible. Over 55 years of Printing Industry experience enables them to perceive problems even before they arise and resolve the issues quickly and efficiently, thereby saving the precious time and money. Because of their full-service in-house facilities, they can take the job from disk to bindery and complete the whole project under one roof. This is not only cost effective, but also ensures that you are not dealing with a printer who attempts blame-shifting instead of troubleshooting. In other words, they take full responsibility for what they do.

Over the years, Rakesh Press has carved out a niche market and boasts an expanding base of cream clientele including leading multinationals, publishers and govt. organizations across all major industries & key vertical markets. For the past 20 years, they have been closely associated with the "Greeting Card" industry and their greeting cards and other stationery items have been widely acclaimed in Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE, South Africa and South America.

The excellence of their services and products has won them glowing accolades across the globe. Be guided by their motto now: Nothing is impossible in Art & Technology of Printing. It's time to colour the imagination while they shape it into reality.


Rakesh Press is a uniquely successful venture that has been in the printing arena for more than 55 years. Established in January, 1950 under the watchful eyes of Mr. Ramnath Bagai, Rakesh Press was named after his baby son - Rakesh. Mr. Rakesh Bagai graduated from Delhi College of Engineering and joined his father in 1971. Over the next 28 years, the father-and-son team converted the family-run business into a highly professional organization (Please view Flowchart), with the focus on latest technology, quality printing and seamless services for complete customer satisfaction. Mr. Ramnath Bagai retired in 1999 and the mantle of excellence is now carried by his son Rakesh and grandson Pranav. Mr. Pranav Bagai graduated from the University of Virginia before he joined his father and a team of over 100 employees to carry the torch of "Excellence in Printing" to greater heights.

At Rakesh Press, they strongly believe that their valued customers deserve nothing but the best. They nurture an environment where new technologies and methods are continuously introduced in the existing system to improve efficiency, quality and customer service
