We founded IRADigital Publishers Private Limited and created the Chaduvu App with a single aim – play our part in the Access to Knowledge (A2K) movement. As Telugu speaking people ourselves, and with family members not fully conversant with other languages, we understood how language barriers can be a serious handicap. Also, not everyone has the fluency to read Telugu.
We set out to do our bit. The Chaduvu app not only brings books originally written in Telugu available for reading or listening, we also translate works from other languages. In addition, we deliver book summaries as well as original short stories to encourage new writers to build a following.
All this is made accessible via an extremely low-priced subscription, just enough to compensate authors and support operating costs.
