Reading, out loud.
Beyond the shelf.
Book fairs on the office floor, virtual reading sessions, fireside talks and public events. This is the reading habit, taken off the desk and into the room.
VIRTUAL SESSION
klib at Finolex India
We took klib to Finolex India for a virtual reading session, and the gallery told its own story. Some joined alone from their desks. In one room, a group had pulled their chairs around a single screen to watch together. Our founder and CEO Murali made the case we always make. Reading is not nostalgia, […]

VIRTUAL SESSIONS
klib at Carelon Global Solutions
We went in to talk about reading. We left talking about writing. A room full of people at Carelon gave us an hour. We spent it on the attention crisis. Doomscrolling. And the slow erosion of our ability to sit with anything longer than a reel. Our case was the one we always make: books […]

VIRTUAL SESSION
klib at Fedbank Financial Services
We took klib to Fedbank Financial Services for a virtual session, and our founder and CEO Murali built it around a line from Naval Ravikant. Instead of asking which books you should read, ask which ideas you should understand. Reading, in other words, is not a checklist of titles. It is the slow business of […]

VIRTUAL SESSION
klib at MassMutual
We took klib to MassMutual, a life insurance and financial services company, for a virtual session. Our founder and CEO Murali built it around reading as wellness, not productivity. Concentration and focus. A way to manage anxiety. The runner’s high a reader knows, and the slow work of connecting the dots that a feed never […]

VIRTUAL SESSION
klib at Reliance General Insurance
We took klib to Reliance General Insurance for a virtual session, built around the single idea in its title. How to strengthen the reading muscle. Our founder and CEO Murali made the case that reading is a muscle like any other. It grows with use, it wastes with neglect, and the way back is not […]

Public event
klib at the Samruddhi Run
klib stepped outside the office for this one, coming on as a co-sponsor of the Samruddhi Run. It was a morning out on the road rather than at a desk, the reading message standing next to fitness and community for a change. Our banner stood at the start in the apartment grounds, carrying the line […]

Book fair
klib at ISS India
We set a book fair down in a meeting room at ISS India and covered the table end to end, business and fiction and a fair bit in between. People came in on their break, leaned over the spread, and got talking. Two colleagues stood comparing notes over a book one of them had not […]

Virtual session
klib Reading Movement at Hurix Digital
Our co-founder Murali took the klib Reading Movement to Hurix Digital, virtually, and around a hundred people joined from their desks. The telling thing about a virtual session is how easily people slip away, and they did not, most stayed to the end. Of the 44 who left feedback, 91% rated it 4 or 5 […]

Book fair
klib at Galderma
We took a book fair to Galderma in Mumbai and set a long table of titles down in the middle of the floor. People came over with their coffee, turned a few books over between meetings, and the laptop at the end meant anything that caught the eye could be borrowed on the spot. The […]

Book fair
klib at Assets Care
We set a book fair down in the Assets Care office and let the table do the talking, a tight spread that ran from Outliers and The Innovator’s Dilemma to Orbital and a shelf of Ruskin Bond. People came across between meetings, the kind who say they have no time to read and then spend […]

Book fair
klib at Titan Jewellery
There is a different kind of joy in watching people rediscover books. At the Learning Conclave hosted by the Titan Jewellery division in Hosur, klib curated a small book fair for engineers and associates. What surprised us was not just the footfall. It was the curiosity. Employees spent time browsing, picking up books they had […]

Fireside chat
klib at Cargill
We took klib to Cargill for a fireside session, a chair, a mic, and a room that pulled up seats to listen. The talk made the case we keep making, that attention and reading are worth protecting at work, with a klib slide up on the wall behind. It is a more contained format than […]

Book fair
klib at CreditAccess Grameen
We laid a book fair out by the windows at CreditAccess Grameen, the morning light doing half the work, tables of titles running from Tata Stories and Indomitable to a good stack in Indian languages. People drifted over with their coffee, leaned in, and started turning books over, and the laptop at the end meant […]

Book fair
klib at L&T
At Larsen & Toubro we ran the full set, a book fair and a reading engagement session in the same lobby. The table did what tables do, people browsing and borrowing on the way past, but the session is what lifted the room, an interactive hour with the L&T team that turned into a proper […]

Book fair
klib at Fedbank Financial Services
At Fedbank Financial Services we ran the fair out of a meeting room, the kind that usually holds forecasts and review decks. For an afternoon it held a tableful of books instead, fiction next to finance, Grisham next to the money titles. People drifted in between calls, turned a few over, and left with something. […]

Festival talk
klib at BizLitFest Bangalore
BizLitFest Bangalore put klib on the wall as its library partner and Murali on the stage. Our co-founder and CEO sat down with Chocko Valliappa for a fireside chat billed as a phenomenal textile-to-tech journey, the story of the Sona Group, the kind of long arc a business literature festival exists to draw out. It […]

Book fair
klib at Meesho
We set a long table down in the middle of the Meesho floor and let the books do the inviting. The pitch was on the banner beside it, a simple question most people had never been asked at work: do you know you have a library here? Some came over on a break, some on […]

Book fair
klib at Groww
Groww gave us a corner of the open-plan floor, desks on every side, and we filled a table with range. It is a smaller kind of event than it looks, no programme to sit through, no sign-up, just a table you pass and a book you did not plan to pick up. People browsed, borrowed, […]

Festival
klib at the Bangalore Business Literature Festival
This one was not inside an office. We took klib to the Bangalore Business Literature Festival and set up among the wider crowd of readers and writers, under a tiled roof with the tables running long. The conversations were different out here, less about HR and budgets, more about what people were actually reading and […]

Leadership talk
klib at Infineon
Infineon invited us to their Spoorthi Day, a day the company sets aside for its people rather than its targets, and asked Murali, our co-founder and CEO, to take the stage. The subject was ikigai, the Japanese idea of a reason to get up in the morning, the overlap of what you love, what you […]
