The People Behind theBox
Dhruv is an award-winning journalist turned entrepreneur and Founder of A Box of Stories. Dev is a management consultant turned writer. Her debut novel, Bringing Back Kay-Kay, was listed for many awards including the Jhalak Prize and Branford Boase award. They share a conviction: exciting stories exist everywhere — and they want to look in places the world doesn’t always look.
Dev has stamps of 40 countries on her passport. Dhruv wants to match that number in the next 2 years by exploring bookstores in at least as many countries as a part of the Box.
Small town kids, they can now be spotted around coffee shops, indie bookstores and libraries in London, plotting how to get the Box to change the publishing world but mostly pfaffing.
