The first venture
The CEO of the 2 AM thoughts Mr. Harsh has always dreamt to do something related to writing. After opening his YouTube channel in 2017 named Late Night Thoughts. His college friends supported him in his first step with more than 400 subscribers.
He was still not satisfied, somewhere in his mind he wanted to do something on large scale. Then in 2018, he started an IT gaming company named Beyondo which includes social media development, and logo designing but the rented place was taking all their income.
How did The 2 come into existence?
Then he created an Instagram account in 2019 to showcase his feelings in form of quotes. Within a few months, he was able to see commendable growth. If you will go for one thing another will eventually lack behind. His gaming venture was overpowered by his love for words. After seeing the positive response, he continued his page, The 2 am Thoughts and gained much popularity.
First Competition was a big failure
He gained the confidence to organize a National Level Writing Contest yet the response was not good. His friend Mr. Sumit who is now the COO of The 2 am Thoughts supported him and joined the company. With their combined effort and strategy, the next National level competition enrolment was more than 500 writers.
We need a team
Every successful organization needs a passionate team. With help of Mr. Sumit, a person whom harsh can trust. He is a brilliant-minded human with a love for space. He has more than 80 Certificates in different languages and technology. His acceptance of failures and problems is what makes him strong.
Then they start recruiting team members for different departments. The team tried singing and photography contest yet they were not so successful. The team now worked day and night and was able to transform their writing into a publishing company.
Publishing of books
Starting with e-books they grow. In 2021, they published their first paperback book. Then there was no looking back, Anthologies got published in numerous numbers along with solo books.
Started with zero
When they started, there was no fixed budget or funds. Their hard work and dedication are what are paying them off. Now The 2 am Thoughts have organized many National and International Level Writing contests. Various judges have been involved with the company including IAS officers, Best Selling Authors, Ted talk speakers, and many eminent personalities from the judiciary.
What makes them different?
They have an Anthology Desk page that is totally focused on giving chance to budding writers by giving them various books to participate in. With less investment and a hassle-free process, they can get their stuff published.
They have separate pages for Publication and book store named The 2 am Thoughts Publication and The 2 am Store. This has been leading for many years and gaining the trust of people all over the world. Their store provides books at reasonable rates. One can even sell their used books.
Never say no to your passion
Mr. Harsh is one of the toppers who can easily get places in big companies yet chooses to follow his passion with his friend Mr. Sumit. Their upcoming venture will focus the college-going students. How they can write and earn at the same time.
He always says that you cannot satisfy everyone every time, but when you are getting anything. Be happy and accept that.
