Project Mahatma Press is a tribute to the enduring legacy of Mahatma Gandhi, an iconic figure whose profound connection to the printing press often goes unrecognized. Despite his renowned role as a leader of India's independence movement, Gandhi's lesser-known endeavours as a printer, publisher, and journalist were pivotal in shaping his advocacy for Satyagraha, or passive resistance.

​

In 1898, Gandhi established his International Printing Press in Durban amidst the tumult of South Africa. As proprietor and editor, Gandhi utilized the Albion Press to disseminate his beliefs through the publication of Indian Opinion, his first newspaper. Through this medium, Gandhi sought to amplify the message of Satyagraha, advocating for social justice and nonviolent protest.

​

The establishment of Mahatma Press by Entrepreneur Amit Sachdeva is a testament to Gandhi's enduring influence and inspiration. Sachdeva, a Gandhian at heart, recognized the transformative power of the printed word and sought to carry forward Gandhi's legacy through modern printing practices. The establishment of Mahatma Press in India in 2019 in India is a fitting tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and his principles. This initiative likely aimed to honor Gandhi's legacy by promoting his ideas of non-violence, equality, and freedom through publications and media. By setting up Mahatma Press, the nation could disseminate Gandhi's teachings more widely, ensuring that future generations continue to learn from his wisdom and draw inspiration from his life. It's a testament to the enduring relevance of Gandhi's ideals that initiatives like Mahatma Press are established to keep his legacy alive.

At Mahatma Press, the spirit of Gandhi's principles permeates every aspect of operations. From offset to digital printing, Mahatma Press embodies a commitment to truth, simplicity, and service--the very values that Gandhi held dear. With a dedicated team of professionals and state-of-the-art equipment, Mahatma Press strives to provide clients with the highest quality printing and publishing services.

​

Through Mahatma Press, Sachdeva aims to continue Gandhi's mission of spreading awareness and fostering positive change. By offering a diverse range of services, including book publishing, business biographies, sustainability reports, and more, Mahatma Press empowers individuals and organizations to amplify their voices and make a meaningful impact on society.

​

In essence, Mahatma Press serves as a bridge between the past and the present, honoring Gandhi's enduring legacy while embracing modernity and innovation. As Sachdeva aptly states, Mahatma Press is not just a printing press--it is a manifestation of Gandhi's vision for a world transformed through the power of the printed word.
