Publishing made Easy

In the field of literature, there are many famous authors which have gone through a hard time to get their work published. And when they finally got a chance to publish their work, it was regarded as some of the best works of that time. An example is J.K Rowling's “Harry Potter” which was turned down by multiple publishers before it was published. Many other books like Ayn Rand's “Atlas Shrugged”, Anne Franks's “The Diary of a Young Girl” and Rudyard Kipling's “The Jungle Book” are few more examples which underwent multiple rejections by publishers before actually getting published. We want to help authors by providing a portal where they can e-publish their work and reach out to a large audience and get feedback from them without getting rejected at various publishers. 

We are planning to start a web based portal offering the following services:
1. Online publishing facility for authors to publish their books in English, Hindi and other Indian languages online. The authors gets to keep their creative freedom and not only get to e-publish their book  but also promote and market their book at virtually no cost. They will also get feedback from the prospective consumers on their work 
2. The authors can connect and collaborate with the audience and with each other which will help them get direct feedback and help them improve.
3. To build traffic on the portal, we will also provide non-copyrighted English books, translations of the non-copyrighted English books into Indian languages and Indian languages books into English
4. The consumers can get to read portions of books for free and can get to access the entire content at very low prices
5. Search window for available free content in different languages
6. The portal will also be extended to contain projects done by students at various management schools. In India, there are 6000+ B-school and students are doing amazing work for their projects but there is no knowledge resource which accumulates the work done by students as a part of their curriculum. If a knowledge resource is made then it can be taken forward to do some more substantial projects in the future
7. Student projects from different management schools in India
8. Non copyrighted case studies
9. Search window for management case-studies for academic purpose

Along with aforementioned online services, we plan to provide training facility for case based pedagogy in the form of workshops to different B-schools across India.
