Tejasvi Vashishtha: The 16-Year-Old Record-Breaking Author Behind a Publishing Revolution

In a world of fleeting attention spans and digital distractions, one teenager is quietly building a literary revolution. Tejasvi Vashishtha, a 16-year-old author and entrepreneur, has achieved what most writers dream of in a lifetime—150+ published books, two world records, and a growing platform that is empowering young voices across India.

Tejasvi holds the prestigious titles of "World’s Youngest Author to Publish the Most Books" as certified by both the Worldwide Book of Records and Ingenious Charm World Records. But for him, records were never the goal—they were simply milestones on a larger mission: making publishing accessible to students.

That mission took form in Readice Publication, the startup Tejasvi founded to eliminate the barriers that stop young creatives from becoming authors. Through affordable publishing packages starting at just ₹1999, Readice provides services such as editing, cover design, ISBN registration, and global distribution—making it easier than ever for students to publish their first book.

Since its launch, Readice Publication has mentored over 2,300 students and collaborated with leading institutions like Meridian School and Solitaire Global School. The startup isn’t just a service—it’s a movement to revive author culture among the youth and build confidence through storytelling.

Alongside his entrepreneurial journey, Tejasvi continues to break literary ground with titles like:

• My Python Turtles – A creative take on coding through Turtle Graphics
  
  
  
• Entrepreneur: What It Means to Be One – A beginner’s guide to startup thinking for teens
  
  
  
• Planes – A collection of stories around aviation tragedies and heroism
  
  

  
  

His most notable release, however, is "The Life of Narendra Modi – By A Child", a bold biography that earned him the honor of personally presenting the book to Delhi’s Chief Minister Rekha Gupta at her residence. It was a national moment of pride and a testament to his fearless creativity.

Tejasvi’s exceptional contributions to literature and youth empowerment have brought him several accolades, including:

• International Icon Award 2024
  
  
  
• Golden Global Award (presented by Shri Meenakshi Lekhi)
  
  
  
• Swami Vivekananda Youth Iconic Award
  
  
  
• India Star Republic Award
  
  
  
• PBEL Star Awards
  
  
  
• Pride of India Award
  
  
  
• Best Talent Award, among others
  
  

He’s been featured in national media and storytelling platforms like Humans of Hyderabad, People of Telangana, Depict India, The Entrepreneurs of India, and magazines such as Fame Times, Timeless Magazine and Event Magazine.

With a growing social media presence and a dedicated following of over 17,000+ on Instagram (@authortejasvi), Tejasvi is not just inspiring other students—he’s setting a new standard for what young people can achieve.

Currently studying at Delhi Public School, Hyderabad, he continues to balance academics with impactful projects. 

In Tejasvi's own words, "This isn’t just about books—it’s about changing lives through words."
