Where Books Come to Life

Built on books. Driven by trust.

Emkay Books International was founded in 1982 with a simple but powerful belief: Pakistan's children deserve the same world-class books as any classroom abroad — and schools deserve a partner who makes that effortless, every term.

Matin M. Khan (Late) — Founder, Emkay Books International
Our Founder

Founded in 1982 by Matin M. Khan (Late).

Emkay Books International was born from a simple but powerful idea: bring the world's finest books within reach of every Pakistani child. At a time when internationally published educational material was virtually unavailable locally, Matin M. Khan saw a gap — and chose to fill it.

He pioneered access to a new generation of colourful, engaging, and educationally rigorous titles — books that combined the highest editorial standards with the kind of storytelling that makes learning genuinely enjoyable. The company he built didn't just import books; it changed what Pakistani schools believed was possible for their students.

Over forty years on, that founding vision — that every child deserves access to world-class learning material — remains the principle behind every order we fulfil.

"Bringing books and children together — that was always the only idea that mattered."

— Matin M. Khan (Late), Founder · Est. 1982

What We Stand For

Three values that guide every order we process.

01 — Quality

High Standards, Always

Every title we carry is chosen for the rigour of its educational content and the quality of its production — because children deserve nothing less.

02 — Diversity

Books From Every Culture

We believe great literature crosses borders. Our catalogue draws from many cultures and traditions, broadening students' understanding of the world.

03 — Growth

Inspiring Independent Learners

We select books that foster curiosity, build confidence, and encourage a genuine enthusiasm for learning — beyond the exam, for life.
