Be it brick and mortar retail chain or an ecommerce site – books have been one of the first commodities that sets the ball rolling. But once the shop or website gets traction, the verticals across which sale happens expand and eventually the shelf space for books shrinks because of the ROI. The pandemic has left our supply chain completely bamboozled. In restructuring the system books as a non ess
ential commodity is buried at the bottom of the pyramid. Virtual book fair aims to solve this problem by replicating the features of a regular physical book fair virtually. Beyond physical book sale, the VBF will also function as an aggregator for digital content, as a dedicated review space, potential rights corridor, a place for book sellers, artists, translators, printers, designers or any other technician who is associated to the publishing industry. The Indian Virtual book Fair LLP is a SaaS company by the publishers and for the publishers. Virtual book fair will work with various bookfair and publishing associations pan India as an extension of the physical book fairs and lit fests they host.
