What I'm looking for

I’m raising a $50,000 pre-seed SAFE to scale eKithab AI for Indian creators, while rebuilding the platform with CI/CD, voice input, subscriptions, and integrated storefronts.

At eKithab AI, I turned the challenge of manually selling AI-generated ebooks on Instagram into a creator monetisation platform. I taught myself no-code tools, integrated AI APIs, and shipped the first prototype from my hostel room.

Today, eKithab AI offers chat-based ebook creation, a proprietary Quality Score™ and Verified Sell-Ready badge, and storefronts with Razorpay payments. We’ve onboarded 1,300+ organic creators, generated ₹50,000+ in revenue, and produced 127 books in a single day.

I’m rebuilding eKithab AI on Microsoft Azure with CI/CD, voice input via Sarvam AI, subscriptions, and integrated storefronts. As Founder & Startup strategist at first 10, I’m also building a community platform for early-stage builders.
