"Good things come to people who wait, but better things come to those who go out and get them."
An IIT Delhi alumnus and a book lover, Bhuwan Arora had a prolific career as a software engineer before he earned himself the shiny title of being the founder of Oditty.me. Thirst for knowledge and inspirations from books have always been Bhuwan’s biggest mentors. And this trait is what makes him more than an entrepreneur – a visionary.
With Oditty.me, Bhuwan’s vision is to build a social network for book lovers (like him) that will help them in exploring reading lists, book recommendations, topic discussions, and more. Oditty.me will also serve as a platform where readers will get to interact with their favourite authors and other people with similar intellect.
Please provide a brief overview of your product/ service.
Oditty.me is a social network for bibliophiles, where we intend to bridge the gap between reality and knowledge deriving from books and literature, which we accomplish through an all-inclusive strategy comprising of recommendations, reading lists, discussion communities, latest news concerning a particular topic or an issue.
Additionally, Oditty.me will also act as a dedicated platform where authors and readers can interact with each other in a more seamless manner. This gives writers a splendid opportunity to promote and speak for their works and writings directly and to readers, a chance to get a sneak peak into the lives of their favourite writers, learn more about them and finally connect with them.
