Our Story

YourStory is India’s leading comprehensive online platform for entrepreneurs, dedicated to promoting the startup ecosystem.

YourStory was started in October 2008 by Shradha Sharma, who has held in senior positions in leading media organizations like The Times of India and CNBC TV18.

Today, YourStory is driven by Shradha’s vision to create a hub for thousands of entrepreneurs across India, by providing them with critical value-additions like corporate branding, personal visibility, mainstream media coverage, business networking, growth opportunities and investor connections.

The effort continues to be powered by a highly motivated team of talented writers and experienced professionals from across the world.

In order to enable the entrepreneurial dream, YourStory has partnered with various networks and leading brands like Intel, Google, Amazon, IBM, Sequoia Capital, CNBC TV18 Young Turks, Microsoft BizSpark and British Council, to name a few.

Here, we have a singular passion – to tell the world your story.

Why are we doing this?

All of us have stories to tell. And like a Bollywood blockbuster, each story has a lead actor, a protagonist whom we all love, who fights against the odds and finally, emerges winner.

YourStory chronicles the lives of these heroes, who have charted their own path and scripted their own story.

In our world, entrepreneurs are heroes. They’re job creators. They’re people who’ve dared to dream and more importantly, follow that dream.

We at YourStory celebrate the entrepreneurial dream by bringing you stories of entrepreneurs and startups from across India and across the globe. We unearth interesting and path-breaking business ideas.

We are agnostic to sector and scale, covering entrepreneurs, startups and business ideas from web, mobile, cloud, e-commerce, social, ‘green’ and creative domains.

We are here to carry your voice across to your audiences and we support entrepreneurs and startups by enabling meaningful connections to scale ideas that can change the world.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. We’re continuously working towards bettering the platform and we’d love to hear from you about your thoughts and views on how we can provide more value. Please feel free to write to us at contact@yourstory.in.
