It all started with Saurabh, a self-proclaimed bookworm who proudly lists “reading novels” on his resume. After spending a decade in roles spanning ops, strategy, product management, and sales — often working closely with CXOs — he realized how difficult it can be to stay connected with fiction when everyone seems focused on non-fiction, entrepreneurship, and self-help. Despite the trends pushing people toward business books, his love for fiction never waned. This led to the creation of Celsius 233, a way for busy people like himself to stay connected to the world of novels, even when life gets in the way.
