Sumit Shetty

Sumit Shetty is a writer, web developer, and cross-disciplinary tinkerer based in Pune, India. He runs Aetherwise, a creative studio where code meets storytelling—crafting websites and digital systems that are both elegant and intentional.

He founded Webisoda, India’s original aggregator of web series across languages and platforms; BrownPant, a wiki-style archive of Indian stand-up comedians; and ThetaFiction, a curated repository of public domain short stories for readers and writers.

His own writing spans speculative fiction, poetry, and essays, with work published in The Bombay Literary Magazine, The Alipore Post, Usawa, Unlost Journal, and The Yearbook of Indian Poetry in English. He also organizes with the Pune Writers’ Group and writes the newsletter Burnt Garlic Sidequests.

Sumit works best where systems and stories overlap—building tools, telling tales, and quietly connecting the dots.
