Coming up with a wonderfully interesting business model of Personalized books, IAndMyStory.com will get you surprised for sure. The very new Indian startup, offers the flexibility to name the characters of pre-written stories, make changes to the storyline and get it printed and delivered to you as a REAL printed book.

Yes. You can gift your kid with a real story book, with your child and his/her friends as the characters. IAndMyStory puts it this way: “Imagine a book where your child becomes the star of the story, making reading enjoyable. The story comes to life with the child’s name, age, hometown, family, friends and uncles & aunts all being part of the adventure”. I was nothing short of surprised to see this.

The catalogue is short, understandable as they’re just launched. Writers and illustrators are invited to join them. Affiliate dealerships are encouraged too.

The books are priced at an average of Rs. 380 per copy which seems very reasonable, if not low for what’s offered. The service is primarily focussed on India but they take international orders too.  A comprehensive list of supported payment options including International/Domestic Credit/Debit cards, netbanking facilities of 10+ Indian Banks and other options like ItzCash and Mobile payments, makes it more accessible.

This is a perfect gift for children anytime. Congratulations to the ones who conceived and created iAndMyStory – they’ve done something that stands out and makes sense.
