180 Years of
Higginbothams

Welcome to Higginbothams, India's beloved bookstore with a rich history since 1844. Founded by Abel Joshua Higginbotham in Chennai, it has been a literary beacon through significant historical events and changes.

Awarded "Royal Booksellers" in 1875, the store expanded to Bengaluru, Ooty, and more, continuing its legacy under the leadership of Abel's son, Charles.

Now located on Mount Road and part of the Amalgamations Group since the 1940s, Higginbothams remains a cherished sanctuary for book lovers, celebrating the enduring power of literature.
