   Heading The Write Order vertical in Pratilipi, providing the physical publishing arm to the startup. Building a team from scratch to revolutionise the guided publication industry through technology. Integrating multiple proprietary tools built to change the face of the publication industry. Having founded the startup back in 2017, we have now joined hands with pratilipi to scale our business. I have been solely responsible for overall build and growth of the entire publication business. Role includes devising different departments, setting them up, allotting capable people to handle them, defining operations, solidifying marketing, lead acquisition, conversion and over all business ROI at core. Functioning as a full fledged entrepreneur without restrictions to scale the vertical. The entire process from the legal, finance, operations, execution is over-watched by me. The setup was complete in early 2021 and now my entire focus is on scaling, growth and capturing as much market share as we can.

   The Write Order

   Oct 2017 - Dec 2020

   CEO

   In the initial years I had setup the foundation for the startup to function with chief focus being on reducing the publication timeline and making the process super fast with lossless quality of the end product (usually books in our case). Defined a proper product market fit, setup of USPs to demarcate the startup from competitors, made the venture profitable from the first month itself and self sustained for the next three years.

   The Write Order

   May 2017 - Dec 2020

   Founder

   Started as a small initiative in 2nd year of engineering after being fed up of the slow publication process in India, I decided to bridge the gap. The core aim was to allow writers to publish their books without interference of literary agents/or any other mediator. Since then, I have built the startup and raised two rounds of funds eventually getting acqui-hired by Pratilipi, a giant in the content-tech space in India.
