Falling in love with reading can be a bumpy ride. And we aren't even the ones on a pan-India tour, driving a minivan loaded with 500 books while writing that first line. But, Akshaya Bahibala and Satabdi M are doing exactly that at the moment. And they aren't complaining.

The two founded an independent bookstore and mobile library called Walking BookFairs in Bhubhaneswar, Odisha, in 2014. A year later, they embarked on their first cross-country tour called Read More India with nearly 4,000 fiction and non-fiction titles.
