The author has been in publishing industry for four decades, starting his career as a journalist with Indian Express and moving to Vikas Publishing House as executive editor, vice president of Macmillan India, publishing director of UBS Publishers, publisher of the India Today Book Club and Books Today, as well as chief executive and publisher of HarperCollins India. The readers will love the background stories of publishing books like Freedom at Midnightthe story of the Indian Independence in 1947 and the assassination of Mahatma Gandhiby Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins, which became a bestseller.
