One of the biggest issue that we face with Hindi Books is of quality. Believe us, we as a bookseller are actually embarrassed with the quality of books published by almost all Hindi Publishers. Also availability of these books are a major issue. Do write to us in detail
#AskPI हिंदी की कुछ प्रसिद्ध किताबें (स्पेशली पेपरबैक संस्करण) आपने स्टोर पर से क्यों हटा दी? पिछले साल तक विशेषतः दीपावली के समय इनमें से ज़्यादातर वेबसाइट पर उपलब्ध थीं जो अब नहीं हैं। यद्यपि सर्च करने के दौरान सजेशन में उनका नाम शो अवश्य करता है!

To begin with book industry isn't yet officially recognised as an industry by the Govt.
Apart, there aren't any such books that explains the nitty gritty of this business but what we can definitely share (with our little experience) is that books aren't mere commodities.
@PadhegaIndia_ #okay tell me resources to go... Or things to focus to understand book industry!!!
From tiny details to big one... which very few people actually focus!!
#AskPI
Sir, we sell and are keen to sell all books that are available in print. We don't distinguish books based on ideology, and we sincerely believe that even readers should read all books they wish to without getting into a trap of ideological bias.
@PadhegaIndia_ #AskPI you've been an amazing seller with listening what your consumers asking.any plans of having opposite leftist thought's books as well?😁 Just kidding 🤪
#AskPI
3. Hahaha, how can one book be made for compulsory reading in a pluralistic democracy like ours, but still since you have asked :
• India - A Wounded Civilization by Sir VS Naipul.
As far as reasons are concerned, Readers would fathom them only after reading this book.
@PadhegaIndia_ #AskPI
1-Biggest challenges in making books affordable & accessible?
2-Any shift in reading trends post-covid?
3-If you could make one book compulsory for every Indian to read, which one & why?
4-& most importantly…any plans for an offline store? (We’re eagerly waiting!🤩)

In case of Physical Books - Immense. You would always want a pretty book to sit on your bookshelf, no? And, there are some Indian Publishers who really do a fabulous job, like - @juggernautbooks, @niyogibooks, @ombooksdelhi, @RoliBooks and few others.
@PadhegaIndia_ Something on my mind recently.
How much does book cover design truly impact sales, and has there ever been a book that flopped until its cover was changed?
#AskPI
#AskPI
We would credit books for that. You read a book, and the first thought always is to share about it but you need readers for that, no? Unlike Films or Sports, where the communities are driven by a purpose, Book communities are always driven by this sense of sharing.
@PadhegaIndia_ #AskPI
What drove you to build a community?
And how has that helped you in return (in ways you never expected)?
#AskPI
Yes, by the end of this year, atleast 5 other National Languages apart from English & Hindi. This has been an aspirational project for us.
@PadhegaIndia_ Any plans to get regional original books in stock ?(Not the dubbed ones ) ?
#AskPI
This is really subjective, but we can state one fact, that may answer your question :
90% of Hardcovers are re-released in Paperback version too in a year or two, but that's not the case with books originally published in Paperback format. https://t.co/tRl3FCrbxB
#AskPI
We believe the Readers should, for reading such books 🤭
@PadhegaIndia_ If AI writes a bestseller, who should get the royalties the programmer, the AI, or the person who asked ChatGPT to do it? #AskPI
#AskPI
All we can say that majority of Indian Publishers have become more like Printers, and this won't continue for long. There's an immense pressure on us to get into Publishing but that maybe a conflict of interest. Let us see what's our Prarabdha 🙏
@PadhegaIndia_ Since long, I have been hearing PI entering into publishing. When is the mahurat?
#AskPI
#AskPI
You raise a significant point, and unfortunately the kind of fiction books that are published in India these days, it is only time that this genre completely disappears from India. This maybe the reason for the non-fiction influx that you mentioned.
@PadhegaIndia_ #AskPI Really wanted to know about the fiction and non-fiction market divide in India. Recently there has been an influx of non-fiction and new authors which may have triggered rushed buying in the community (dont know how much of it is fomo).
#AskPI
That's a significant challenge, not just for Authors and Publishers, but also for booksellers. Also, what you call as "information overload" we believe it to be mere "data overload". Also, Data, Information and Knowledge are three different things altogether.
@PadhegaIndia_ #AskPI
In an age of information overload, how can authors and publishers effectively market and promote books to capture and retain readers' attention amidst a sea of competing content on social media platforms?
#AskPI
We believe SM users have only become smarter with every passing day, especially since monetization has been introduced on this platform. These SM users know how getting into fights or writing something stupid would get them more reach, and hence they use it as a strategy.
@PadhegaIndia_ What is your opinion on "People getting dumber and making aggresive social media opinions coz of very less physical book reading and more of instant google results"
#AskPI
#AskPI
To get a good publishing deal, all you need is a certain amount of followers on Social Media. And we can't completely blame Publishers for the same, after all they are business houses at the end of the day. Maybe readers need to make a choice more distinctively, and fathom the difference between an influencer and a writer. To summarise - All influencers can easily become Authors, no matter what garbage or shit they write or get ghost written, but there's no guarantee for a
good writer to even get a basic publishing contract.
@PadhegaIndia_ How do celebs and ‘famous’ authors get deals faster in traditional publishing while really good writers are just rejected like that? Even when the plot or writing by these celebs or ghost writing done is really mediocre while some of best written work is never out there?
