Overview: I began my career as an architect but switched to storytelling after four years. I created a motion comics platform and launched a YouTube channel, TaccoMacco, focusing on animated edutainment stories.

In 2016, I co-founded TaccoMacco, an edutainment platform sharing Indian stories.

By 2017, we decided to pivot into a mobile-only platform for short stories, novels, and comics, aiming to enhance self-publishing while catering to vernacular India's (Bharat’s) preferences.

Note: This case study focuses on the mobile-only platform. Also it was incepted in 2015-16 and thus research and analysis reflects needs of that era.
