Sagar Sharma, a Hyderabad-based entrepreneur, has a date at Vengal Rao Park, on August 20, 5 p.m. What draws him there is a love for words that he shares with a tribe of book lovers. “The meetup is a way to connect, discuss, share books and introduce ourselves to new genres,” says Sagar, founder of Hyderabad Book Club (HBC).
Launched in January 2016, HBC is one of the oldest reading meetups with 2,634 members, an avenue for like-minded people to expand their reading canvas. “I used to read a lot during my college days and continued to read in my free time even after I joined a corporate. I thought a book club would be a great opportunity for me to meet people who share my interests and explore more books and genres,” explains Sagar about his inspiration to launch a meetup page for the club.
