Sangeeta Bhansali founded Kahani Tree, an independent children’s book store in Mumbai dedicated to raising readers and developing a lifelong love for books.
Sangeeta is director at Vakils, a printing and publishing company in Mumbai. In 2006, she set up Kahani Tree to showcase and promote children’s books by Indian publishers. From a wall in the Vakils office, Kahani Tree expanded to a store-space that carries a curated range of diverse and multicultural books including international and award-winning titles.
Sangeeta breathes and dreams picture books. She believes that the best gift one can give children is a love for reading.
