Like all great stories, ours begins with 'Once Upon a Time'...
It started with a simple wish: to give Aswathy's Dad a truly meaningful gift for his 70th birthday, a gift that would capture the essence of his life and the rich tapestry of our family's stories. Growing up, we were both mesmerized by the tales of our parents' and grandparents' adventures, their acts of heroism, their drama, their challenges, and the wisdom they gained along the way. These stories held a power, a magic that connected us, reminding us that even ordinary lives are filled with extraordinary moments.
We're Aswathy and Ankesh, partners in life and now, partners in crafting legacies for the world. Our shared love for family, for books, and for the magic of storytelling brought us together. We also share a deep passion for technology and its potential to make the world a kinder, more fulfilling place. We wanted to build something that radiates positive energy, something that helps families connect and cherish their shared history.
We realized that memories fade, and stories can be lost to time. That's why we created 'Once Upon a Time.' Born from a desire to capture these fleeting moments and preserve these precious narratives, we help you weave a timeless tribute to your loved ones.
Imagine a world where every family's story is treasured. At 'Once Upon a Time,' we're making that a reality. We're not just printing books; we're weaving magic. We help families capture the laughter, the wisdom, the unique journey of their loved ones, and transform it into a tangible heirloom to be cherished for generations.
