About Corporate Partnerships & Employee Engagement
Why Partner With Us?
I’ve been on the other side of the table, ticking CSR boxes but wishing it meant more. At Bookwallah, I want your team to walk away actually feeling the difference you’ve made—because you see it and live it, not just read about it in a report.
How Teams Get Involved
- We don’t do cookie-cutter volunteering. Your team will work together at our ‘Imagination Havens’—organizing books, setting up creative spaces, or running skill-based workshops like storytelling for children.
- You’ll get to see kids light up when they find a story in their own language, and you’ll see your colleagues connect in new ways. Honestly, some folks leave with more energy than they came in with.
Ways We Collaborate
- Hands-on employee volunteering programs in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, or Ahmedabad
- Team building through community service—whether it’s building libraries or running workshops
- CSR partnership opportunities, from funding to in-kind donations like regional language books
- Real-world impact for interns through university tie-ups—great for teams wanting a deeper connection
What’s Real, What’s Tough
- Sometimes, it’s messy—kids are unpredictable, and not every day is Insta-perfect.
- But when your team sees that even a small effort makes a child feel safer or more hopeful, it’s real.

My Story
Stories saved me, honestly. Childhood was rough, books were my escape hatch. The hero always found a way out, yeah? That stuck. Fifteen years back, I quit my corporate gig and started Bookwallah. We give kids who've seen too much the magic of stories, so they can dream up new worlds too. This work? Feels like my own circle is complete—helping kids find their own brave endings.
My Work
Healing children through stories - We set up magical library spaces and run weekly inclusive storytelling sessions for kids facing tough times.
Creating safe spaces to imagine - Our Imagination Havens are joyful spots where kids can dream, build emotional resilience, and just be themselves.
Special programs for all needs - From the Sea of Stories for deaf and mute kids, to custom programs—every child gets to belong.
The Bookwallah S.T.O.R.Y. method - We pick books that teach courage, kindness, and hope. Volunteers bring these stories alive, every week.
Volunteer-led imagination programs - Our volunteers—students, working folks, everyone—show up with heart. Bookwallah is all about community and connection.
