Dec 11, 2010 by

Leadstart’s key strength has been its robust 360 degree distribution network which covers six key book sales verticals.

Retail Bookstores: Leadstart distributes books in over 100 cities in India.

Partnering Online Websites Leadstart sells its titles through many Indian and International websites. You will find your favourite Leadstart titles on all your favorite book-selling websites.
Dial-a-Book Service Leadstart has its unique dial-a-book service where you have a dedicated call centre to assist you to buy Leadstart titles over the phone. Payments are via credit card (on phone) or electronic transfer or dropping off a Cheque/ DD.

India Grassroot Network (IGN) This network is exclusive to Leadstart, having been built by the organisation. Pursuant to its goals of functioning as an industry leader, Leadstart pioneered a completely new channel in book distribution by converting stores that do not sell books. The idea behind IGN is to sell books at high traffic points and keep titles relevant to the environment. The inventory displayed at these stores is usually just 4-10 titles. Example: a flower/candle vendor at a temple/church/mosque selling Leadstart’s mythological/religious/spiritual titles; or a medical store selling Leadstart’s health and fitness titles. At present, Leadstart has 400 IGN stores in Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad. The network is now being expanded across India to all major towns and cities.

Digital Leadstart Leadstart is going digital with Digital Leadstart which makes available your favourite Leadstart titles  in digital form across various devices such as Kindle, I-Pad, i-Phone, Google Android-supported phones and Adobe Bookshelf.
