Moutushi Banerjee
Senior Consultant @ o9 Solutions
Moutushi joined o9 Solutions last year after she graduated with an MBA from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS).
​
A voracious reader, Moutushi was eager to step away from what had become her comfort zone when it came to books. She wanted to explore new genres and titles.
​
Yet, she was apprehensive about how that experience would turn out to be.
​
Serendipitously, in February this year, o9 Solutions partnered with MyBookWorks to launch a first-of-its-kind corporate reading program for all o9ers in India.
​
Moutushi decided to subscribe to MyBookWorks after its first onboarding session in March.
​
Here’s what Moutushi shares about her MyBookWorks’ experience.
The best thing about MyBookWorks is its impressive personal touch.
​
From the beginning, MyBookWorks has actively engaged with me by completely understanding my reading preferences and the kind of books I’d like to read.
That’s hugely important because reading is a very intentional pursuit for me. I’m very clear about why I want to read, that is, to grow as a person.
​
And that’s exactly what happened when I started with MyBookWorks.
​
I’ve read more than 5 books since joining MyBookWorks and each book has been amazing.
​
Before I joined MyBookWorks, I struggled with finding good books. Usually, I’d read the summary of a book, then a few pages in the middle and assume it would be a good book. But then when I’d actually start reading it, I’d find the same things repeated over and over again, causing me to lose interest in the book.
​
With MyBookWorks, that has never happened.
​
When I started with MyBookWorks, I wanted it to recommend non-fiction books even though I hadn’t enjoyed any of the non-fiction I had read in the past.
​
MyBookWorks started me with biographies, a genre I was not at all into. And I was pleasantly surprised when I started enjoying reading the recommended biographies, which were excellent and so well-written. I gained a lot of insight into people and reading these books helped reaffirm an important fact - that a person is not only a product of his/her environment but also a product of his/her own thoughts and active choices.
​
Thanks to MyBookWorks, I have enjoyed reading not just biographies but also books from genres as diverse as philosophy, psychology, business and more.
​
With MyBookWorks, I don’t feel like I’m wasting time reading books that aren’t adding any value to me.
​
Also, this is the fastest pace at which I’ve completed reading books – the books are that good.
​
Just as importantly, I don’t spend time these days searching for good books. MyBookWorks has already taken care of that by giving me great books.
​
I highly recommend MyBookWorks. It’s doing such an incredible work in redefining the reading experience for readers like me.
