This deal can bring StoryMirror easily a revenue of INR 5 crores in a matter of next few years .
The books such as Conversation Of Sai (English) ,Sai Samwad (Hindi) ,Sai Vibhuti (English) ,Sai Vibhuti (Hindi) ,Krishna And Sai (English) , Krishna And Sai (Hindi) are the books to be published by StoryMirror. StoryMirror is the largest digital literature technology platform of India with equal penetration into physical publishing space with over 100K writers who have been writing on the platform in 10 different languages and have created 27 national best-sellers from over 700 books published. Company also has a content library of over 850K, which translates to over 55 Crore words. ‘If anyone reads everyday 5-6 hours, he cannot finish one language of content published so far in StoryMirror in his entire life’- Bibhu Datta Rout, Founder and CEO of StoryMirror has said in many of his interviews.
Khetrapal said ‘I am very excited about this deal and I feel it is a win-win situation where the knowledge that has been imparted through these books will be available at various online platforms like amazon flipkart and various major platforms and offline stores across the country’.
‘We are equally excited.’ Bibhu added ‘The history and spiritual space is garnering a lot of momentum and Indian, overseas Indians are more interested about knowing about themselves and their past. There is a lot of science behind spirituality and faith, which modern day science has overlooked until now. These books are a promise to increase the faith among readers.’
Mr Bibhu further added ‘The association of StoryMirror with Mr Khetarpal will bring immense knowledge and insights in various languages to our readers across the globe and we hope his popularity and faith on supreme power will transmit through his books to the young generations.’
When asked about the reading habits declining day by day, he further added ‘India reads max in the world. Top 100 books sell more than 150K copies per week on e-commerce platforms. If we extrapolate it with the number of writers with some approximations, almost 78 Cr books are sold per year only in India. This is still external data. If I talk about StoryMirror data, more than 1 Crore minutes are read on the StoryMirror platform every month and sales of several hundred thousand copies sold in just a few years inception, is a testimony that people are reading.’
This kind of deals will put more focus on spiritual space and probably publishers across India will try to produce more such content in future.
