Akhil S. Vernas
Founder & CEO of Elysium & Orangeia
Even though we like to say we, our, or us — truth is, Elysium was a one-man dream. Created by Akhil Sharma Vernas, a young student from Delhi NCR still in his 12th grade — who carries an entrepreneurial spirit and a quiet, sincere love for poetry. He is a Humanities student, but wishes to establish strong foothold in technology with his software and hardware ventures. He didn’t just want to make an app. He wanted to create a place where poetry could breathe. Where it could be felt. And live forever.
"Poetry is sacred. Now I want to give it a place where it’ll never fade."
— Akhil Sharma Vernas
