Hyderabad, 29th October, 2025: The Bower School of Entrepreneurship today unveiled two pioneering spaces the Founders Library and B Café creating a first-of-its-kind hub in Hyderabad for entrepreneurs to read, reflect, and connect.
The Founders Library is India’s first curated library dedicated exclusively to entrepreneurs built by the community, for creators. Its collection features handpicked titles recommended by founders, business leaders, and changemakers from India and abroad books that have inspired journeys, sparked ideas, and built courage. More than just a reading space, it invites aspiring founders, innovators, and students to drop in anytime, browse, spend time, and meet like-minded peers. Designed as a living ecosystem for continuous learning and networking, the library is where conversations begin between bookshelves and ideas take shape over shared inspiration.
“The Founders Library and B Café are more than spaces they represent a mindset,” said Mr. Pavan Allena, Founder of the Bower School of Entrepreneurship. “At Bower, we’ve always believed entrepreneurship is not taught; it’s experienced. We wanted to create a place where anyone can walk in, pick a book, share a coffee, exchange ideas, and leave a little wiser. Over time, this will evolve into a living library built by the community, for the community.”
The library will soon expand to include digital editions. Bower also plans to grow it as a dynamic, crowd-curated repository, continuously shaped by recommendations from entrepreneurs, mentors, and readers creating a truly evolving knowledge hub for India’s creators.
Complementing it is the B Café a relaxed, creative zone that blends the warmth of coffee with the energy of ideas. Designed as a meeting point for Hyderabad’s young innovators, it’s a space where work feels like conversation and curiosity brews alongside cappuccinos.
The event was graced by Mr. Jayesh Ranjan, IAS, Principal Secretary, ITE&C Department, Government of Telangana, who formally inaugurated the Founders Library. Distinguished guests and thought leaders in attendance included Mr. Ajit Rangnekar (Former Dean, ISB), Prof. Nagendra (Chief Education Officer, ICFAI), Mr. Mahankali Srinivas Rao (Advisor & ex-CEO, T-Hub), Ms. Kiranmai Dutt Pendyala (Leadership Expert & Mentor), Mr. Ramesh Loganathan (Professor, IIIT-H), Mr. Malcolm Nicolson (Head of School, Sreenidhi International School), and Mr. Harsh Pamnani (Author & Marketing Head, T-Hub).
The afternoon concluded with two engaging panel discussions “The Books That Built Us” and “Learning Beyond Classrooms” followed by a soulful book reading session led by Bower’s UG and Lead program students. Guests and well-wishers joined in, celebrating the spirit of lifelong learning and community-driven entrepreneurship.
