About the Business
JUST BOOKS, a division of Strata Retail and Technology Services Private Limited (Strata), represents a revolutionary community library chain. It offers a distinctive reading experience, presenting a diverse collection of books for every reader type—from Toddlers to Teens, Dabblers to Bookworms. Nestled within a contemporary and lively setting, JUST BOOKS integrates effective technology use to enhance the reading ambiance. As we proudly declare, at Just Books, there’s a book for every family member.
Built upon proven retail industry practices such as warehouse-backed operations with centralized inventory, coupled with cutting-edge technology like cloud-hosted infrastructure and RFID-enabled touchpoints, we strive to achieve the ultimate library goal—connecting every book with its reader and vice versa.
Founded by a team of Retail and Technology professionals, incubated and nurtured at NSRCEL – IIM Bangalore, JUST BOOKS aims to become India’s first networked pan-Indian community library chain, tailored to meet diverse Indian reading preferences. The term ‘CLC’ in Just Books stands for Community Library Chain.
Drawing from the experience of establishing the initial libraries, our company is now inviting individuals interested in bringing a library to their neighborhood to join us as franchisees. This opportunity involves franchising the brand, technology, book collection, and expertise. In essence, JUST BOOKS—India’s pioneering community library chain—is actively seeking franchise partners to extend its operations and promote the love of reading across the nation.
