We are a platform of writers and production houses. We have projects from our writer rooms that get mounted into production where we have a closer involvement into the IP creation and partnership with production houses.

Investor can track the final income based on the business and get the returns post taxes if any. 

Itihasa is an opportunity enabler but cannot fully protect the capital invested into a project as we don’t manage the project ourselves. 
However, we bring some practices like transparency, escrow accounts if needed, pro rata deployment of capital based on progress.
