Leadstart Publishing and Kahaniya launched a book ‘Daitya Diaries’ - Blood and Vengence by Aditya KV, the winner of the ‘Launchpad Contest’. Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary, Govt of Telangana was the chief guest. While addressing a gathering he said, “The biggest disruption is happening in the Media Industry now. I was always fascinated by ‘Ravana’ than ‘Rama’ and ‘Duryodhana’ than ‘Pandavas’. I grew up as an obedient child. It is quite natural to get inclined to what you are not. So, I fascinated anti-hero. I hope that the author continues to write on the evils of our world. I am looking forward to read this book which was discovered through a competitive process of “Launchpad” that had received over two hundred entries from all across the world.”

“Author KV Aditya delved into an area, which is ‘Mythology combined with history,’” he added

“Devdutt Pattanaik to Kavitha Kane to Amish Tripati, Ashwin Sanghi they all gave Indian mythology a modern twist. ‘Daitya Diaries’ is an experimental novel. Today people are hardly reading newspapers. Today’s generation are not interested in watching news, TV views are going down. Youth are spending twice as much time watching Netflix as TV, Amazon Prime and even more time on YouTube,” he further informed.

“Kahaniya seems to be a great platform for debutant authors to showcase their writing skills.” he said

The CEO and Co-founder of ‘Kahaniya’, the city-based start-up, an online storytelling platform for authors shares. “We have a strong community of 3000 writers and ten lakh readers from around the world,” he said.

He said, "Our endeavour is to identify and develop "authorpreneurs". There is an author in every one of us. An idea in mind, script on paper, but you can't publish a book. There are many who want to turn their story into a book. 'Kahaniya' is a homegrown brand that will nurture peoples’ dream of publishing their book. The internet has revolutionised book publishing, promotion and brought it within a reach of anyone with an idea"
