These library vans carrying 6000 books can be run by men, to the places where the potential readers are capable of spending a reasonable amount for the subscription and renting books from.

Qualities of Potential Franchisees

Suresh believes, “Only reading books can bring discipline in anyone’s life and we are here to help people bring discipline in their lives.”

He says that “When people move out of their cities and regions, they miss out the regional touch in foreign lands; this is where JustBooks comes into play. JustBooks encourage regional language books on its platform while giving scope to the regional authors build their audience on a national platform.”

1. Service Mindset: The franchisee is going to serve an entire locality; he/she is familiar with, which is why he should have the mindset of providing service to the people. He/she should help people find the right kind of books they are looking for.
