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. The company's product range has also vastly expanded, although it claims that books remain its primary focus.

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