Started with just ₹800 by two engineering students, Akshay Kashyap and Srijan Kumar, in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, in 2022, Kitabwalah tackles a simple, unglamorous problem: textbooks and learning resources are expensive. Its second-hand book marketplace, sourced through a network of local scrap dealers, has grown into Patna and beyond.

"We started by building a network of local scrap dealers just to source the books ourselves."
