I am an ENTREPENEUR !! (oh yaaay)

Phone bell ranged one fine evening.
Me: Hey!
Talha (my fiance): Hey !!
Me: Sup?
Talha: hmm.. well, Im thinking of starting a business to cater books to people at their doorstep, colleges, universities etc. And I've decided to keep you in the communication department. All you need to do is reply to emails that we get in ouor gmail account, website, and facebook. You interested ?
Me: (not willingly) Sure.
Talha: Great !! Let's get started.

Love. Love makes you do things; stupid things and not-so-stupid things too. Well, the idea was great but I had no knowledge on how to run a business, but all I knew was that it was Talha's vision and I humbly said yes to help him to achieve his dream....

With over hundred schools spanning all over Karachi, the biggest city of Pakistan, our quest for inculcating reading habits in children began in February 2014- just months after establishing our bookstore brand, BOOKWORM PAKISTAN.
Bookworm Pakistan is not a publishing brand nor is it a regular bookstore where books are displayed for sale. It is, in fact, an online business that caters to people’s need; the need to fulfil education by providing books to individuals at their doorsteps, colleges, universities etc.
Bookworm Pakistan was started by young entrepreneurs in November 2013, and no sooner has it become a renowned business with delivery reaching to people living outside Karachi.

With over 60% illiteracy rate in Pakistan, the vision of promoting and instilling reading habits among children became a mission that was quarterly accomplished with our visits to different schools, in a chronological order, ST. PATRICT HIGH SCHOOL, THE WHITEHOUSE GRAMMAR SCHOOL, YEN ACADEMY, HAPPY HOME SCHOOL, and the MIND SET INSTITUTE .

That's not all. We have even started to designs cirriculums! Stay tuned for more exciting stuffs we plan to do in the upcoming months.
