Divya Trivedi is the Founder and CEO of SGSH (Spread Goodness, Spread Happiness) Publications. She lives in Mumbai, the city of dreams. Having graduated with a B.Sc in Chemistry in 2022, she received many awards and certificates in her inspirational journey towards developing a culture of reading books. She eventually started her writing journey on April 4, 2021, when she published her debut book entitled “The Beauty of Quotes.” As a writer, Divya Trivedi was always curious about how publishing companies print and list books. She was interested in the processes behind it, what makes a publication the best, the processes of a start-up, the kind of impact it creates in the writing community, and so on.

She never thought of starting a publishing house, but as we know, hard work always pays off. She put in a lot of effort and eventually achieved something significant. Initially, she remained a co-author for many publications and had the opportunity to compile many books with other publications. Then she worked as a project head and felt something was missing in the publishing industry in India. After learning and getting to know everything slowly, she decided to start her own publication, not for anything else but to spread goodness and happiness around the world through books. This idea led her to earn a unique name in the publishing world under SGSH (Spread Goodness, Spread Happiness) Publications, which was started on October 30, 2021.

Not only this, but she worked really hard to establish a well-known publication with a good mission like SGSH. However, due to some problems, she decided to hand over the publication to other members and wanted to start her own publication named Satyamev Jayate Publications. But as fate would have it, a founder of other publications made her realize the hard work put into SGSH Publications was what was required the most. So, she continued but later realized that publishing is a business, and in business, sometimes one has to be strict. Being uncomfortable with SGSH Publications, she thought to convert it into a new name, Kitab Writing Publications, on March 4, 2023. Having published over 1000 solo books, 200 anthologies, and 10,000 books to date, her dedicated efforts have earned her a unique name throughout the country. Today, she is a trusted platform in the entire author community.

Always being trustworthy and honest with her customers, she wants to stick to a commitment of sincerity, honesty, and hard work. She knows there are thousands of publications, many even in top positions, but for Kitab Writing Publications, she aims not just to provide publishing services to authors across India but also to provide writers with the best motivation and to spread happiness.

Kitab Writing Publications grew well with a 5-star rating on Google reviews and a 99% return ratio. However, the publication faced the challenge of Trademark Registration. Kitab Writing Publications was a very common name, and there were some complications. So, she had to revert to the erstwhile SGSH Publications. Though it was not easy to start and close, and inverse, she was very determined in her mission. Some decisions were wrong, but they led her to a new version of achieving success in the publishing field.

Today, SGSH Publications have come a long way. The steadfast Divya Trivedi has made up her mind to embrace many milestones in her life. Her biggest inspiration was the people around her, who always inspired and trusted her. This led her to receive multiple prestigious awards, such as Best Publication of the Year 2022 from Incredible Indian Awards, Fastest Growing Publication in 2023 from the World Wide Book of Records, and Asia’s Top 100 Entrepreneur 2023. Her efforts also earned her publication a place in the National Book of Records, Indian Archiver’s Forum, and many Google articles, magazines, etc.

Miss Divya Trivedi’s publication is unique because of her honesty, hard work, and consistent efforts. She is today a reputed name in the author community. In her opinion, earning money from the business is a little easy, but when authors come to her again and approach her to publish their books, she feels delighted. With utmost happiness and satisfaction, she wants to develop a culture of reading in India, which we have lost to staring at cell phone screens.

In a nutshell, she does not only meet the great expectations of the authors as the founder of SGSH, but every member of her team works for the same motto: to spread goodness and happiness. She sees this publication as the best publication in the world and believes herself to be the best motivational speaker for writers and the best entrepreneur in the world. With her constant dedication, she fervently believes she will touch the skies. Her journey was a bit up and down, but setting up this publication is one of the best choices she has ever made.
