About

Good books deserve a second year

Every June, families buy new textbooks while last year's copies, often barely used, sit in cupboards or go to the raddiwala. Bithoo exists to change that.

The idea

The best buyer for your old books sits one class below you

Same school, same syllabus, same board, often the same teacher. A junior needs exactly the books you just finished. Bithoo simply connects the two, inside the school, where it is safe and easy to hand a book over.

What we believe

Our principles

Children first

Safety and privacy are the product, not features. We collect as little as possible and show even less.

Schools in charge

Each school decides who joins and how it is moderated. We provide the tools, not the rules.

Free for families

No fees, no ads, no data sold. Students and parents never pay to use Bithoo.

Less waste

Every book passed on is one less printed, bought and thrown away.

Made for India

CBSE, ICSE, state boards and more; classes 6 to 12; prices in rupees; hand-overs at school.

Honest by default

No dark patterns, no tracking, no notifications designed to keep you scrolling.

Help us reach your school

Bithoo grows one school at a time, usually because a parent or teacher asked.
