Subrat Mohanty

Subrat Mohanty is the co-founder and CEO of KITABOO, the cloud-based digital publishing and learning platform he launched in 2010. What began as a decision to build a proprietary reader and DRM layer from scratch, at a time when most publishers were still thinking in desktop terms, now serves more than 15 million users across 32 countries in roughly 25 languages. An IIT Kharagpur engineer and IIM Ahmedabad postgraduate, Subrat has spent close to three decades building content-centric digital products, first at Tata Interactive Systems, then as a co-founder of Hurix Digital in 2001, where KITABOO was incubated before becoming the flagship product of BookIT Digital Technologies. He is currently driving KITABOO ONE, a distribution and access platform that lets publishers license and monetise digital content across retail, institutional, and library channels. In June 2026, he convened the KITABOO Global Advisory Board, bringing Richard Charkin, David Taylor, Emma House, and others into the platform's next phase.
