Unpossible Book
Problem is hard-cover Bangla books are traditional and the new generations are less interested in them.
The solution is Bangla Audio Books where books are more interesting and entertaining. There is no dedicated commercial Bangla audiobook platform where almost 260 Million people speak Bangla around the globe.
Young--generations are the future of our country. If they are not interested in books, they will miss out all the experience, expertise a writer provides in the book. We are the Facebook, Twitter generation but we need to learn more through books, as a book doesn't only share a story, it reflects the mentality, thought process, the experience of different writers. Moreover all the great leaders, Innovator's read books every day to expand their knowledge, experience.
1) Traffic Jam: Average corporate people losing 2 hours in traffic jams every day. A person loses almost 700 hours a year in the traffic jam. Dhaka loses 3.2 million working hours to traffic congestion daily
2)You can’t read a hard-cover book anywhere you want.
3)visually impaired people can’t enjoy books
4)Books are expensive and hard to carry
Overall a big portion of the population is students and you professionals who need to read books in order to expand their knowledge, wisdom. The audiobook can provide the entertainment and educational value to a large portion of the population
We will also be providing jobs for people who will narrate those books. A narrator platform where anyone can earn money through narrating a book.
We have talked to many people in Dhaka about the audiobook. A portion of Bangladeshi people loves to read books but for some life is too complicated and busy, so they could afford to read books. Audiobook will be a great way to read books. Furthermore, students find reading as an expensive hobby as reading 5-10 books a month is more than the total allowance they get from their parents. So they need a cheaper way to read books.
Bangla audiobooks can be heard anytime, anywhere. They will be cheaper than hard-cover books. They will provide people with the option to read, learn while jogging, eating, traveling.
A lot of young people are unemployed after their graduation and a lot of students are trying to find a part-time job
We are using a website and app to reach out to people with our service. We will provide audiobooks, a great source of education and entertainment.
Bangla audiobooks will be the Bangla narrated version of Bangla books. Where people can listen to educational books, magazines. They will have the option to select chapters, specific page of the book they want to listen.
To enjoy a Bangla audiobook, one must open our mobile app and log in to listen to the books they brought or they can just listen to free books we provided with every new account
We will also create a narrator platform for Bangladeshi people. Where people can earn a decent income by making audiobooks. They can do it part-time or full time
- Increase opportunities for people - especially those traditionally left behind – to access digital and 21st century skills, meet employer demands, and access the jobs of today and tomorrow
- Upskill, reskill, or retrain workers in the industries most affected by technological transformations

We are changing how Bangladeshi people see books as an old traditional way of learning.
We will recreate books into Bangla audiobooks to make them more interesting, cheaper and most of all convenient for everyone.
With our narrator platform, anyone with a good voice and bit training can make up to 50 thousand BDT per month. The best thing is, you don't need a degree to be a narrator.
We have done a survey among reads if they would like to hear an audiobook. If it would be more convenient for them to have an audio version of the books and we got positive feedback from them. Furthermore, a lot of corporate people said they would love to read audiobooks as they don't have time to read books like they use to read in the past.
For the narrator platform: A lot of skilled people are unemployed. For those who love to read books, it would be their dream job.

Our dream is to have a positive impact in this world. We believe Unpossible Book can have a big impact in Bangladesh and we believe in our idea more than anything. We have put our hard earn money , time to make it a reality. we have failed few times already while trying but we are determine to try again and again. Our drive comes from passion and love toward our dream. That's why we believe we are best suited for this.
Anyone can get a better, more experience team but they can't buy the passion and over that, if we have funding we can be better with more skilled people.
we are going to provide Bangla audiobooks. It will raise interest among youngster to read more books and those who can't read it because of time and other visual problems, now can read books. we would use website and app to reach our customer. Customer can buy books from the app and website but customer needs to have the app in order to listen to the books.
We will provide membership packages .1 Book token will be good for any one book. None member can still by books with low discount.
Our revenue prediction
Service Subsidization Model
We will generate revenue through selling audiobook, membership, advertisement, selling audio magazines .
We will need at least funding of 42 lakh BDT or 50 Thousand USD to run the company smoothly for 2 years
First of all it will help us to learn and grow. Secondly, we will get access to mentor-ship and technical and operational support with advance guild line. Beside that, we also behind of money. We don't have the cash to operate at full capacity. Yes, we can still start and launch but after that it would be really hard for us to grab the market and produce enough books
