My Journey

I caught the writing bug when I was five, and distributed hand-written autographed copies of my books to classmates in India, where I grew up. After a master's degree in finance from Columbia University, I spent fourteen years as an investment banker before realizing my childhood dream of being an author.

​

I enjoy writing with a deep curiosity about how place, family, and cultural identity shape a child’s inner world. My projects range from humorous to deeply emotional themes, sometimes drawing inspiration from my Bengali roots, which I'm passionate about seeing more fully represented in children’s literature.
