Mumbai Bookies is a free, silent reading club in Mumbai that meets weekly in various city locations.

Mumbai Bookies began on September 1, 2024, with a single sitting in a park near Churchgate, and has since grown to attract thousands of readers every Sunday. The group operates as a free, non-assignable community where participants bring their own books and gather in silence for two hours in diverse venues, ranging from historic buildings and parks to beaches, without speaking during the reading session. Registration is simple, requiring only a one-time form submission, and attendees receive a physical card stamped with ink for every morning they attend, which serves as the only ledger tracking their participation. Beyond the weekly gatherings, the group actively supports education by organizing drives to collect thousands of books and deliver them to classrooms across Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru. While the specific locations for each sitting are kept private to respect venue owners, the group maintains an Instagram presence to announce upcoming events and has inspired similar silent reading circles in other Indian cities.
