Conrad Pune Launches ConREAD: A Community Initiative to Reignite the Love for Reading

Pune, April 21st, 2025: Conrad Pune, a prestigious hotel known for its exceptional service and innovative initiatives, is taking a significant step in the cultural realm by launching ConREAD. This community-driven initiative is designed to reignite the love for reading and foster a vibrant community of book enthusiasts in the region.

ConREAD, short for Conrad Reading Enthusiasts and Advocates, is a multifaceted program that includes book clubs, author talks, and reading challenges. The goal is to create a space where readers can engage with one another, share insights, and explore new literary horizons.

According to the hotel's General Manager, Rajesh Sharma, 'Reading is a powerful tool that can enrich our lives in countless ways. Through ConREAD, we aim to bring together people who share a passion for books and provide them with the resources and community support they need to thrive. Whether you are a seasoned reader or just starting out, there's something for everyone.'

The initiative will kick off with a series of events this month, including a book club meeting focused on a popular contemporary novel, a workshop on writing techniques, and a children's story hour. These events are open to the public and are designed to cater to a wide range of interests and age groups.

Conrad Pune has also partnered with local libraries and bookstores to ensure that participants have access to a diverse selection of books and resources. The hotel's library, equipped with a wide range of genres and formats, will serve as the hub for many of the ConREAD activities.

In addition to the events, ConREAD will feature a dedicated online platform where members can connect, share recommendations, and participate in virtual book clubs. This digital space will also include resources for aspiring writers, such as writing prompts and articles on the craft of writing.

The launch of ConREAD is part of Conrad Pune's broader commitment to community engagement and cultural enrichment. The hotel has a history of supporting local arts and educational programs, and this initiative further solidifies its position as a cultural beacon in the city.

For those interested in joining ConREAD, the first event—a book club meeting—will be held on April 30th at the Conrad Pune. Registration is open on the hotel's website, and new members are welcome to join at any time.

Conrad Pune's initiative is not only about bringing people together but also about promoting a lifelong love of learning and exploration. In a world where digital entertainment often dominates, ConREAD serves as a reminder of the enduring magic of books and the joy they bring.

If you are looking to reignite your love for reading or connect with like-minded individuals, ConREAD is the perfect place to start. Join the community and experience the transformative power of reading.
