I am an independent bookseller and my professional life is rooted in my personal history. I made a conscious decision to step away from a lucrative corporate job and take forward the legacy of my forefathers: the love for books, and creating spaces where they may be celebrated in their full glory. Here are four things about me.> ๐๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐-๐๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ซ:I was born into a family that owns an independent bookstore - Rajat Book Corner. The first bookstore was opened in 1952 in Amritsar, and thereafter a branch in Jaipur in 1992. Thankfully, I also took to books and inherited not only the business but all the passion and love that comes with it. Having grown up in a bookstore, I have lovingly lived the conversations that remain unique to an independent bookstore. I love people who love books. > ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ:I have curated more than 200 independent author sessions in over 25 cities in India. It is a blessing to read books and the effect multiplies when we get an opportunity to interact with authors we read and learn from. I bring authors and readers together through books. Literally! Some stalwarts I have had the honor of working with: Mr. Gurcharan Das, Mr. Harsh Mariwala, Mr. Shiv Shivakumar, Mr. Harish Bhat, Mrs. Sudha Murthy, Mr. Malcolm Gladwell, Mrs. Indra Nooyi, Mr. Robin Sharma, Mr. Vishwanathan Anand, Mrs. Deepti Nawal, Mr. Anupam Kher, Sir Jeffrey Archer, Mr. Raghuram Rajan, Mr. Ruchir Sharma, Mr. Scott Hartley, Lt. Gen. K.J.S. Tiny Dhillon, to name a few. > ๐๐จ-๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐จ๐ 2-๐๐๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐:Reading a book is a solitary affair, but discussing perspectives on the same book takes the learning (and even the entertainment) a notch higher. With this in mind, I started the 2-Pages Book Club to bring readers from Jaipur together to bond over their shared love of reading and books.> ๐๐ข๐ญ๐๐ซ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ญ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฌ:Iโve connected authors to readers all my life up till now, and with this agency, I am taking it a notch higher. We proudly represent Mr. Parikshat Sahni, Mrs. Medha Deshmukh Bhaskaran, Mr. Surjit Banerjee, Mrs. Nidhi Vadhera, and Mr. Ankur Mehra, to name a few. I believe the solitary act of reading has the power to change but when done collectively, it becomes a celebration. I love connecting good books to good people (and the other way around).
