History

Odyssey opened its first bookstore in Adyar, Chennai in 1995. Since then, the company has opened a number of outlets in more than a dozen cities across India, while the Adyar outlet itself has been relocated and expanded twice.[2] The company's product range has also vastly expanded, although it claims that books remain its primary focus.[3]

More recently, Odyssey has entered the areas of eyewear and luxury writing instruments with the launch of The Eyewear Store and Editions.[1][4][5]
