The company's board has had many accomplished and well-known persons including Khushwant Singh and the Patwardhans of Pune. In 2008, Orient Longman dropped "Longman" and was renamed as Orient BlackSwan. Today, our offices are spread nationwide and are coupled with a distribution network of over 1500 booksellers to ensure easy availability of our books throughout India.
