Pothi.com is a start up in the area of self-publishing. As they say, self publishing in India has never been easy. One has to go through a lot to publish a book here. These guys aim to make it easier to publish books using online and social tools. They make it very easy for you to estimate the cost of printing a book very easily.
You can also sell your books on Pothi.com and decide your margin on the sale. Pothi takes around Rs. 30 per sale. Pretty decent.
However there are some areas of concern. They burden the writer with not only content but format, design et al. I think they should provide some services like logo design, format, font etc from their end. Also the site design sucks. May be these guys are not that good at design or something.

Hi Piyush,
Thanks a lot for writing about us. As you mentioned, we also realize that pre-press activities like typesetting, cover design etc remain a big hurdle for many self publishers. We are in the process of rolling out paid services for the same. Do subscribe to the newsletter to get regular updates.
