"Life is short. Live your dream and wear your passion."

The urge to build something that gives value to the community, that helps people grow and ultimately makes world a better place is too strong in Sumit Srivastava. And a corporate job can’t hold such individuals for long.

Started his career as a software engineer, Sumit was quick to realize that a 9-5 job isn’t enough to fuel the dream he had. He quickly started software venture of his own so that he can provide the value to clients in the way he had always wanted.

But that too wasn’t enough to quench his thirst to give value to the community. So, he began with another venture called OnlineGatha, an eBook publishing & printing service that allows people to get their creation published and reach their target readers easily.

Please provide a brief overview of your product/ service.

What inspired you to build the above product/service?

I wanted to do something different. Not just running a software company that makes applications and generates funds.
