They say a strong vision and ambition take you on the journey of discovering something unique. On this episode of Shunya One, Shally Modi talks to us about how she met Ranjeet while working for Vodafone and how the idea of making a platform for authors came up and later was called Pratilipi. Shally tells us about working with a set of like-minded individuals who challenged her on a day-to-day basis, how even though she was not drawing any salary in the early days, she knew that all she needed was to learn her way around these new set of challenges. Shiladitya and Amit also talk to Shally about Pratilipi, from starting out to becoming the huge platform it is now - Did you know that there are almost 3 and a half lakh pieces of content being published and over 4 lakh writers who are writing for Pratilipi?. 70% of fresh writers coming in a month are hardened readers on the platform and want to try out something different. Shiladitya and Amit ask Shally about the ratio of readers to creators, how it is different from other mediums, the number of people they started with and how it is important to be innovating in this space to be relevant. This and a lot more in this fascinating chat with Shally Modi, Co-founder & Product Head at Pratilipi.
