About Readership

A reading guide built one place at a time.

I’m Somil Makhija. I started Readership to make the bookstores, reading groups and places I kept discovering across Delhi NCR easier for other readers to find.

Why Readership

Readership began with a fairly simple frustration: I would hear about a bookstore, a book club or an event after I had already missed it.

A lot of Delhi NCR’s reading culture exists in fragments — an Instagram post here, a WhatsApp group there, a place someone tells you about over coffee. Readership is my attempt to keep some of that in one useful place.

I research listings through official pages, public information and, where possible, first-hand visits. I don’t try to cover everything. I’d rather add slowly and correct things when they change.

This is an independent project. Nobody can pay to be described more favourably or ranked above somebody else.

If I’ve missed something, got something wrong, or used an image that needs a better credit, please tell me.
