An Exploding Online Book Opportunity
The internet has created an entirely new kind of shopper. More readers are buying books online than ever before. And what they want, is the latest book, in the fastest time, at the lowest cost.
To help publishers and readers ride the digital opportunity, we’ve developed a tech platform that helps publishers and readers tap into this Global and India opportunity even as it unfolds.
Our mission is to get more books.. to more readers… through more channels… anywhere in the world.
A Growing Book Market
India is one of the world’s fastest growing book markets.
Currently, India is the 6th largest book market in the world.
With the total number of internet users in India expected to grow rapidly, the number of people expected to buy books online is staggering.
Recognising the need and potential of the market, getting titles on
e-platforms so that they are visible to millions of potential readers, is the task at hand for all publishers.
The tech platform we have created, does just that. By digitizing and making titles available online, and printing them on demand to reach a reader anywhere, our solution is disrupting an age old publishing process. And enabling publishers take advantage of the massive opportunity the internet has thrown their way.
Disrupting an Age Old
Publishing System
The publishing process is an old one and is often disorganised and unwieldy.
Publishers have deal with challenges like:
- Inefficient and very high costs and wastage of warehousing and inventory.
- The limited reach of the traditional distribution system.
- Hard to sell inventory and obsolete titles resulting in wastages and losses.
- The bane of returns and collections.
The Repro tech platform seeks to do away with these challenges with a disruptive tech solution.
