🎯 Problem: Every semester, students spend a significant amount of money on textbooks and notes that are used only for a short time. After that, they remain unused, while juniors struggle to buy the same materials at high prices. Currently, there is no easy or trusted channel for this exchange.
🚀 Solution: A simple platform (app/website) where students can easily buy and sell second-hand textbooks and notes in a safe, verified way. This creates a win-win: seniors recover costs, juniors save money, and resources are reused sustainably.
🛠️ MVP (Minimum Viable Product): Start with a basic Instagram or WhatsApp page where students can post listings and connect directly. This tests whether there’s genuine interest and activity before scaling into a full-fledged platform.
💼 Business Edge: The model can earn revenue through:
Commission per sale
Premium subscriptions for priority listings or verified sellers
Over time, this can evolve into a broader student marketplace for stationery, lab coats, gadgets, and more — turning everyday student needs into a structured, sustainable business.
Comments
Negative: The main challenge is managing a verified and secure platform at scale. Without proper checks, the platform could face issues with scams, inaccurate book conditions, or late payments, which would quickly erode the user trust it aims to build.
