The Jessi legacy
Four decades of books.
Five decades of serving schools.
Jessi began in 1970 as a single house in Madurai that published, printed and supplied the city’s schools. In 1986 publishing was given a house of its own. Generations of children have learned to read, write and count from a Jessi book — and the family behind it has never stopped working inside schools.
- 1970The JESSI family enterprise begins in Madurai — publishing, printing and supplying schools.
- 1986Jessi Publications is founded as the family’s publishing house.
- 1988A school in Madurai joins the family’s work — our books are shaped beside real classrooms.
- 2005Jessi builds its own school software — ERP and learning platforms.
- TodayInternational collaborations, digital companions and programmes for schools across India.

Made beside a real school
The family behind Jessi has worked alongside a Madurai school since 1988. Our books are shaped by what happens in classrooms, not in catalogue meetings.
World-class, made for India
Programmes from respected international publishers and creators, adapted for Indian syllabuses, Indian prices and Indian children.
Research-led design
Our handwriting programme is built on occupational-therapy research — letters taught in stroke families, practice paced in short daily sessions.
Tamil, English and Hindi — equally cared for
Language programmes written by people who teach them, from the first letter in KG to literature in the middle school.
From press to shelf, in one family
Written, printed and delivered by the same family since 1970. Books reach your school on time, in the numbers you ordered.
International collaborations
The world’s best ideas,
brought to Indian classrooms.
Jessi works with respected international publishers and education creators to bring proven programmes to India — adapted, printed and supported here.

How Jessi content works
Nothing publishes
from an assumption.
Every learning outcome, teaching plan and specification on this site traces back to an approved edition. Where a source has not been ingested, the page says so rather than inventing one.
