About wavvelytte
Built for the SME publisher. Backed by a 43-year family press.
wavvelytte was founded in 2026 to solve a specific problem: most SME publishers, distributors and indie authors across Africa, Asia and the Middle East were overpaying for print by 25 to 45% — routed through middle-men. We removed the middle-men.
The founder
A press, a family, and a phone that gets answered.
I grew up inside a printing press. Lokmangal Mudranalay has been my family's work since it was started in Satara in 1983. I learned to read proofs before I learned to drive. I know the smell of a bindery at 2am when a school order has to ship in the morning.
For forty-three years we printed for India. Textbooks for Maharashtra. Children's readers in Marathi. Exam guides that got passed down between siblings until the spines gave out. We were good at it, and we were quiet about it.
Then I started talking to publishers outside India — in Nairobi, in Lagos, in Cape Town — and I heard the same story over and over. They were paying 25 to 45% more than they needed to, because their print was routed through agents, brokers and re-sellers who had never set foot in a factory. Every hand the job passed through took a margin and added a week.
So we built wavvelytte. Same factory. Same presses. Same family name on the door. But a purpose-built system for international customers: quotes in 24 hours, MOQs that respect the reality of an SME print run, door-to-port shipping to twelve ports, and no one between you and the person who owns the press.
That last part matters to me. When you WhatsApp the number on this site, it rings on my phone. Not a sales desk. Not a ticketing queue. Every job we take carries my family's name — which means every job gets treated as one my father will read.
Our promise
Four commitments. No asterisks.
-
Every job carries the family name.
Which means every job gets treated as one my father will read. That is not a slogan — it is the actual quality bar we use on the floor.
-
Quotes in 24 hours or less. Every time.
Send a spec, get a costed quote the next working day. If we can't hit 24 hours, we tell you why before the clock runs out.
-
MOQ from just 500 copies.
Because SMEs are our normal, not our exception. We are not going to make you print 10,000 copies of a book you can sell 900 of.
