Terribly Tiny Tales is one of the world’s most celebrated social storytelling platforms. It brings together a diverse pool of fantastic writers to create very short stories for a community of over 12 million readers, every day. It is based in Mumbai.[1] The company was founded in 2013.[2] One of their books, "Ninety Seven Poems" was published in 2018.[3] Their first book, named "Terribly Tiny Tales", was published in 2017.[4] The TTT app, which can be downloaded for both iOS and Android, helps writers to submit or showcase their pieces with fellow writers and the world. Best pieces, selected from app submissions, make it onto TTT's social media pages. [5]
History
Created in 2013, it was initially started as a team of a dozen writers. The team eventually expanded its presence to Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.[6] TTT has received lakhs of entries, with more than thousands of them now published on their respective social media pages.[7] About 70% of TTT's revenue comes from brand collaboration. TTT has collaborated with brands like UCB, Cadbury, Accenture, Tinder,[8] among many more. [9]

Books
TTT has signed a deal with Penguin for a series of books. Two of them have been published, and others are due for next year and beyond.[12] The first of these books is named "Terribly Tiny Tales", which is a collection of 140-character stories. Their second book, called "Ninety Seven Poems" was published mid-2018. It is a collection of short poems, written by over 40 contributors. [13]
The next book from TTT is supposedly a book of love letters. The book is scheduled to release on Valentine's Day, 2019.[14]
TTT Select
Select writers are part of a close-knit group of writers within TTT. Any writer can join the select team by taking a test.[15]
Talkies
Terribly Tiny Talkies is a video production group of Terribly Tiny Ventures. Many videos such as Azad?, Kheer[16], Dry Day, Bhaiyya Morey, Kashmir[17], Ditched! have been directed and produced under the banner. TTT is also experimenting with video poetry/spoken word, by roping in actors like Manav Kaul.[18]. The team also came up with a series of short films on mothers.[19]
Actors include Anupam Kher[20], Jackie Shroff, Manav Kaul, and many others.[21]
Their first web series, called Captures, was launched on IGTV. The series consists of 14 episodes, each of 1–5 minutes long.[22]
TTT Live
TTT Live customises content in a brand's template, endorsing their tone of voice. Live performs 25% better than editorial pieces. TTT either outsources this to its 200+ writers' community, or to its readers. The best curated pieces are shared with the brands, who have the first right of refusal.[23]
