Avinash develops content and publishes a wide range of
economical books for schoolchildren. He comes from a lower economical
background. After gaining work experience for over 10 years with a very meager
salary in a publication house, he along with two of his friends ventured into
setting up their own business. Initially, the business went into a loss
and with the able support and guidance of mentor, Mr Vijaysinh Maurya turned it
into a profitable business within three years. Today they are proud of
providing employment to 35 others both directly and indirectly and
generating wealth of Rs 42 lac.
He has moved on from publishing scholarship book for 4th
Std to publishing 52 different kinds of books for academic purpose and is well
positioned for further expansion. He also involves himself in social
activities and distributes books free of cost to poor people helping 200 such
students last year.
