About The Reading Club
The Reading Club (thereadingclub.in) is a community platform built for Indian book lovers. We are creating a single home for everything readers already do across WhatsApp groups, Goodreads, and scattered meetup tools — a personal library, spoiler-safe discussions, quote keeping, book clubs, local chapters, and peer-to-peer book swaps.
Our mission
Reading is better together. We want to make it easy for Indian readers to track what they read, find their people, discuss books without spoilers, run clubs with shared schedules, and meet up in real life — whether you read in English, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam, or any other language.
What we are building
- Personal library & stats — kanban shelves, progress logging, Up Next, Pick for Me, vibe tags, private notes, and a reading stats dashboard.
- Chapter-gated discussions — spoiler-safe threads that unlock as you progress through a book.
- Quote wall — save passages, scan pages, and share favourites with your club.
- Book clubs that actually run — shared schedules, next-read polls, events with RSVPs, group progress, and realtime chapter-gated chat.
- Vernacular hubs — communities organised by language and genre, so niche readers feel at home.
- Local chapters — cafe meetups, park readings, and author events in cities across India.
- Book swap marketplace — list books for sale or exchange with readers near you.
Where we are today
The Reading Club is currently in early access via waitlist. The personal library, reading stats, quote wall, spoiler-safe feed, and full book-club tooling are already built. Vernacular hubs, city-wide meetups, and the book swap marketplace are next on the roadmap. Join the waitlist and reserve a username to get first access as we open.
Who we are for
Casual readers, book club organisers, regional-language literature fans, students, working professionals, and anyone who has ever finished a great book and wished they had someone to talk to about it. If you are in India — or part of the Indian diaspora who wants to connect around books — this is for you.
