Westland Books or Westland Publications is an Indian publishing house. It was co-founded by the Padmanabhan family in 1962, starting out under the name East West Books. Tata owned it from 2008 as a subsidiary under Trent (Westside). It was owned by Amazon under Amazon Eurasia Holdings SARL from 2017 till 2022.
