How a mobile revolution is rewriting India's literary landscape
In short: With only 50 decent bookshops serving the world's second-largest population, India faces a unique distribution challenge. Chiki Sarkar explores how the smartphone revolution is bypassing traditional barriers to cultivate a new generation of creators.
Sarkar examines the disconnect between India's massive population and its limited physical infrastructure for books. By leveraging the ubiquity of smartphones, she identifies a shift toward digital-first storytelling that allows for broader accessibility.
The talk highlights how this technological leap is not just changing how people consume content, but actively fostering a new ecosystem of readers and writers who are engaging with stories in ways previously impossible in a book-scarce environment.
