Exactly 30 years ago, brand Limca—the lemony carbonated drink created by Ramesh Chauhan—launched Limca Book of Records (LBR), modelled on the Guinness Book of Records. In order to celebrate India’s favourite book of records, which ’80s and ’90s kids grew up reading, Hachette India is presenting a special edition.

This is a combined edition of the last two challenging years and salutes stellar victories and accomplishments in human endeavour, education, defence, government, science and technology, adventure, business, cinema, the natural world, literature, and the arts. It also honours the undefeated spirit of COVID-19 frontline warriors with a spotlight on their selfless service. The book’s special Covid-19 feature captures milestones, compassionate actions and innovative ideas that echo the spirit of resilience and triumph in the face of all odds.
