About Pepper Content
Pepper Content, officially registered as Pepper Content Private Limited, was founded in 2017 by Anirudh Singla and Rishabh Shekhar. The company originated from their experiences during their BITS Pilani college days, where they identified a significant gap in the market for quality, scalable content creation. Singla, with a background in business and an avid interest in marketing, alongside Shekhar's technical expertise, provided a complementary foundation for the venture. Their journey began with a simple blog and has since evolved into a comprehensive content marketing platform.
