7 years ago, on 14th December 2013 Sangeeta and I looked at each other and said, “Let’s do it” before hitting the publish button.

10 seconds later, the first ever article on Storypick was live.

5 months later, the CEO of one of India’s largest media companies flew us to his office & offered to acquire Storypick. We passed.

We passed not because the offer was low (we weren’t making any money then, but we had millions of readers) but for the opportunity: the opportunity to grow Storypick on our own terms, while getting our hands dirty, learning entrepreneurship the hard way.
