In a city full of startups chasing big trends, CM Copys chose to solve a small but painful problem — printing. While others built flashy apps and raised funding, Anil and Keshava focused on something real: making printing easy, fast, and affordable for students and offices.
What started in 2022 as a simple idea has now served over 720 customers and generated ₹3.2 lakhs in revenue — all without a technical background or outside investment. It’s a story of self-learning, street-smart marketing, and grit.
Solving a Daily Struggle
Students across Bangalore face the same issue every exam season: printing notes, assignments, and materials is a hassle. High prices, poor service, and limited access made the process frustrating.
Anil and Keshava saw this firsthand and asked a simple question
“What if printing was as easy as ordering food online?”
Inspired by how Physics Wallah solved a real problem in education through tech, they set out to do the same — not in a classroom, but in the world of printing.
From Idea to Action
With no technical background, the first step wasn’t building a product — it was learning how to build one.
Hundreds of YouTube videos later, CM Copys had a working website, designed and launched by Anil and Keshava themselves.
To get early traction, the team went directly to the source — promoting their service in 2nd-tier schools and colleges.
First Customer, First Breakthrough
Their first order came through Google Business and SEO, not paid ads. This early win proved two things:
- Students were actively looking for better printing solutions.
- Even small efforts in digital visibility could bring real customers.
From that one order, things slowly grew — and by the end of the year, CM Copys had served 720+ customers.
Why CM Copys Works
The business stands out because it does the basics exceptionally well:
- Fast Delivery – Urgent orders, delivered quickly.
- Consistent Quality – From documents to photo frames.
- Customer Privacy – Trust is non-negotiable.
From bulk printouts to customized gifts, every order is handled with care — backed by a growing network of 20+ print locations across Bangalore.
Early Challenges and Lessons
Building a tech-enabled business without any tech knowledge was a huge challenge. But rather than outsource or give up, Anil and Keshava decided to self-learn everything — website development, design, order flows.
One mistake was offering credit to schools and colleges too early. Delayed payments hurt cash flow, and the team quickly learned to set clear billing terms. They now follow a partial advance model that protects operations without losing trust.

Daily Habits, Steady Growth
CM Copys runs on simple but effective daily routines:
- To-do lists focused on brand awareness.
- Visiting malls, tuitions, and local stores to pitch directly.
- Using tools like YouTube, Canva, and Photoshop to create marketing content and learn new skills.
These small steps, taken daily, have turned into consistent progress.
What’s Next for CM Copys
Short-term goal: Open 15 dark stores across Bangalore in the next 3 months to speed up delivery and increase local reach.
Long-term goal: Expand across India, creating a nationwide network of print hubs — and offering part-time earning opportunities for students in each city.
Advice to Future Entrepreneurs
When asked for advice, Anil and Keshava keep it short and real:
Hard work. Smart work. Repeat
There’s no secret formula — just a sharp focus on solving problems, learning constantly, and showing up every single day.
CM Copys shows us what’s possible when someone looks closely at everyday problems and chooses to act. It’s not just a printing company — it’s a reminder that even the simplest ideas can build real impact, when powered by intent, effort, and heart.
