Sudhangshu Sekhar Dey, President of Publishers & Booksellers Guild; and Tridib Kr.

Singer and composer Anindya Chatterjee said, “Book Fair has always been a part and parcel of Kolkata’s culture and tradition. All of us have been eagerly waiting for it as the pandemic put a halt to gatherings, so we thought of making the ‘Come-Back’ of Book Fair a bit more special with a song woven around it and this would not have been possible without ‘Star Manch.' ”

CEO of Star Manch Randeep Bhattacharya commented in this regard, “Star Manch is immensely proud and honoured to be associated with International Kolkata Book Fair 2022 and ‘Star Manch’ will be present in the fairground with five stalls for music lovers who would like to explore various musical games and competitions.”
