About Readers Adda
Welcome to Readers Adda, a vibrant community for book lovers and literary enthusiasts! Founded in 2017 by Jyoti Dora, Readers Adda was born from a desire to dispel the myth that children today are disinterested in reading.
At Readers Adda, we believe that stories have the power to inspire, educate, and transform lives. While modern electronic gadgets often captivate young minds, we strive to rekindle their interest in the timeless joy of reading. The vintage smell and tender texture of book pages leave impressions that last a lifetime. It’s vital to imprint this feeling in the lives of children from an early age as reading is vital to a child’s education and development.
By fostering a love for reading, we help children develop their vocabulary and grammar while enhancing their comprehension skills in unique ways. Our platform is designed for readers of all ages, offering a curated collection of over 20,000 books from leading authors, thereby enabling kids and adults to increase their knowledge and imagination. The collection comprises of early learning books, children’s classic and contemporary fiction, graphic novels, adult fiction as well as nonfiction.
Our catalogue makes it easy for children and parents to navigate and order books that are interesting and engaging.
Thank you for being a part of our growing community. Together, let’s turn the pages to new experiences!
Happy reading!
About the Founder
Awarded as an Inspiring Human by World Talent Organization -USA, Ms. Jyoti Dora, a Certified Storyteller, Certified NLP Practitioner from NFNLP-USA, Certified Transformation Coach and MHRD, founded Readers Adda, out of her sheer love for books. Her experience ranges across corporate companies like Idea, PepsiCo, British Broadband and ABN AMRO BANK with a diverse and enriched expertise in Customer Empathy and Delight, Sales and Marketing. She has also been an Educator of Language and Literature with an International school.
Jyoti was amongst the select few Educators who chose to continually build and better the wonderful approach towards student enlightenment and she researched amongst various other aspects, on the perception about books in the young and impressionable minds of children. She also built up a methodology to enable a positive change of perception towards all types of books, academic as well as non-academic, amongst young minds!
In 2017, when they shifted to Surat, Jyoti decided to contribute to the society by shaping young minds, by helping them get rid of the passive and time-wasting addiction to gadgets and enabling a positive habit of Reading, which shall enrich the children and impact their future in an irreversibly affirmative manner!
As people around started appreciating her daughter to the point of envy, for being in constant company of books, she saw the need in this segment and prepared a comprehensive Reading Program for children aged 4-14 years.
Having a 360° view, she believes in wholesome learning, hence her Reading Program includes Phonics, Word Meanings, Intonations, Grammar, Discussions and Perspective sharing. Reading not only heightens concentration, focus and creativity but also makes children more confident, empathetic, better Listeners, Readers, Orators as well as Writers. All of this just by altering the notion from Books = Studies = Effort = Avoidance To Books = Fun = Enrichment!
Centers of Readers Adda are conducive to learning with fun where kids love to come. Dependent kids are read to and also encouraged to read from a carefully selected set of books adapted to the kid’s aptitude!
Independent Readers are guided with the choice of books and are continually mentored to help them take the leap. into forming an irreversible and GLORIOUS HABIT OF READING!! Jyoti with her experience of more than 20 years in diverse fields is passionately looking forward to reach out to children in every part of Surat and India to build more enriching programs under the umbrella of Readers Adda, thereby bringing about a change in the society.
During the Pandemic, Jyoti realized that children were not allowed at Libraries and more so ever a Library membership worked no better than a gym membership wherein regularity of book exchanges were minimal. To cater to this need she started with the Doorstep Library service, thereby providing age - appropriate books right to the clients’ doorstep, which has helped hundreds of children and adults to build upon the mighty habit of reading.
Her mission is to reach out to children of every strata so that they can form the amazing habit of
Reading and become Leaders of Tomorrow!!!!
