Who We Are
Built by a book lover. For every learner.
KitabKopy is an education-focused bookstore built with one simple ambition — make it easier for students and families to find the books they need.
A small-town idea. A bigger purpose.
KitabKopy began with a real problem — students and parents often struggled to find the right books, at the right time and at the right price.
Finding a specific title could mean visiting multiple bookstores, checking different websites and dealing with availability and edition issues.
We believed it could be simpler.
So we started building KitabKopy to bring a better, more reliable and student-friendly book-buying experience online.
Why we exist.
Access to the right books can change a student's learning journey.
That's why we are working to make educational resources easier to discover, afford and access.
Better access to books. Better opportunities to learn.
Meet Ashish Ranjan.
Ashish Ranjan is the founder of KitabKopy and the person behind the vision of making books easier to discover, afford and access.
Growing up in Deoria and later completing his MBA from NMIMS Mumbai, Ashish saw how availability, pricing and logistics could become genuine barriers for students and families.
Working closely with the family book business gave him a ground-level understanding of the book retail ecosystem — from publishers and distributors to schools, students and parents.
KitabKopy was created to combine that real-world experience with technology and build a simpler way to discover and buy books.
