Founder & CEO
The business was founded by a seasoned publishing industry veteran with over 14 years of experience, including stints at Crossword, India's most iconic chain of bookstores. His work with both new and known writers such as Kartikeya Ladha, Aaditya SenGupta Dhar, and Susmita Gupta shaped a deep understanding of the intricate requirements of Indian authors. This inside information led to the founding of Anecdote Publishing House, a company committed to eliminating the systemic barriers that have traditionally plagued new writers.
