The proposed solution is a website that allows students to buy, sell, and exchange used books. It aims to build a library of second-hand books that can be borrowed and later sold on the site.

    Eagle10 Ventures Problem Statement

    • Estimated at over $2 billion, the books industry in


    India is growing at about 20%. Of the total industry,
    more than 10% makes for second hand books,
    estimates suggest. Buying of second hand books
    have become popular among college students
    nowadays. From the past many years, even though
    there are some book stores which sell second hand
    books, they have not able to reach all those
    students who want to buy these books.

    Eagle10 Ventures Target Segment

    • College students- Pursuing their Undergraduate or


    Postgraduate studies.

    Eagle10 Ventures Proposed Solution
    • If second- hand books can be bought, read and
    sold, so that they can be easily accessible at a
    cheaper price to all the students in need, then this
    would help students save a huge part of their
    expense spent on books.
    •Furthermore, the internal campus delivery service
    makes it convenient for the consumer to buy and
    sell books on our website.

    Eagle10 Ventures Feasibility of Implementation
    •The idea is to create a library of these second-hand
    books which can be borrowed and then sold after a
    specified period of time, in the same website.
    •Sell at 50- 60% of the book’s M.R.P price, buy at 60%
    of the book’s M.R.P
    •The buy-read-sell experience ensures that the book
    pickup and delivery process is personally done by us.
    •Initially, we plan on launching this idea in our SJEC
    college campus, and later on slowly into other
    colleges and schools around the region.
