Chetan Bhagat
Nato: April 22, 1974 – New Delhi, Delhi, India
Chetan Bhagat is an Indian author, columnist, and screenwriter known for accessible English-language fiction about young Indians, romance, ambition, and social change.

Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
Born in Delhi on April 22, 1974, Chetan Bhagat came of age in the aspirational milieu that would later shape much of his fiction. He studied at IIT Delhi and then at IIM Ahmedabad, credentials that placed him squarely inside India’s high-performance educational culture before he moved into international investment banking. Yet his shift toward authorship was not sudden. While still in finance, he wrote consistently around a demanding corporate life, turning lived experience into material: academic pressure, ambition, friendship, romance, and the anxieties of upward mobility in modern India.
