At UsedBookr, we are more than just a platform for buying and selling books. We are a vibrant community dedicated to the love of reading, sustainability, and supporting original literature. Founded by Tarun Tejus Gandham and Thakshiny Ashokkumar, our mission is to revolutionize the used book market in India by making reading accessible and eco-friendly. Inspired by the impact of the used book market abroad, Tarun Tejus Gandham joined forces with Thakshiny Ashokkumar to create a unique service business in India. With a background in the largest online used bookstore and a science lab supplies E-commerce company, respectively, we crafted a business plan focused on affordability, sustainability, and quality.

Our approach fosters a circular economy, encouraging reuse over recycling and minimizing waste while uplifting the books' overall consumption but in a more responsible way. We are committed to offering only original books to ensure authors receive the recognition and monetary compensation they deserve. Original books not only support authors but also provide readers with high-quality literature to create the best chance for the author to give the best experience of his/her writing to the reader and possibly create an impression to buy more of his/her books in the future. By choosing original books, we contribute to a sustainable literary ecosystem, discouraging piracy and promoting new works, thus creating a virtuous cycle for both the creators and the readers.

Amazing platform

This is amazing. They have a very good collection and I got most of my GATE examination books from here. It's extremely economical as well. I think they are doing a great service to the society by preventing wastage and one can also sell books on their other website.

I will surely order other books as well.

Service was really amazing

Service was really amazing. I called him with a query about a book. He handled the call calmly and helped me finding the book in their stores. And then he also helped me with some technical issue with the order and processed the refund immediately. Such an amazing service, looking forward to purchase again.

Cheaper ORIGINAL books

This website is not for people who want to find books at the cheapest price without any concern about the quality of the book. This website instead, is for people who want to read original books/books from trusted publishing houses but within an affordable range. I was tired of cheap but poorly printed books and therefore, went for usedbookr, they have an amazing service and also listen to their customers concerns and try to fullfill them too. I think it is an amazing way of supporting the authors without burning a hole in your pocket.
