Stones2Milestones acquires MultiStory Learning
Founded in 2011, Multistory entered the children's reading space with The Book Lovers' Program for Schools.
Stones2Milestones on Thursday said it has acquired MultiStory Learning — a Chennai-based boutique kids' content company — for an undisclosed amount.
With this, the publishing IP of Multistory — The Book Lovers' Program for Schools and Ms Moochie Books, is now part of fREADom - The English OS, a statement said.
Also, Multistory Founder Amrutash Misra and his team are joining Stones2Milestones, it added.
"...the fREADom app now has a mix of Multistory's professionally generated content (PGC) in addition to curated PGC and UGC. Additionally, Multistory's physical distribution channel will now be leveraged in such a way that fREADom users will get books in real life in addition to digital content," the statement said.
Founded in 2011, Multistory entered the children's reading space with The Book Lovers' Program for Schools. The programme supplements school libraries with curated and created content, and is used in over 200 schools and by two lakh children (KG to Class VI).
In addition to the 70 books produced by Ms Moochie, the Multistory team also ghost produced over 100 books for other publishers.
