Wolters Kluwer has been in India for more than a decade. What started as a print book distribution business has expanded into a diverse operation that is driving growth through multiple digital solutions while evolving the original print business into a comprehensive set of print and increasingly digital solutions for students, residents, faculty and practicing physicians. Some of the products sold in India are created by Wolters Kluwer global divisions and sold in India. Others are sold in India by a separate team outside of Global Growth Markets.
