Born in a middle-class family, Satyam grew up in many cities across north India. He moved to Mumbai to complete his graduation from IIT Bombay. He worked in Bengaluru for six years before he qualified Civil Services Examination, and transformed from a technocrat to taxman. His first posting as an IRS officer brought him back to the Maximum City.

He started to write during the long commuting hours between his office and his home in gridlocked Mumbai’s roads. Soon he realized, he has found his second love in the most unlikely places!

Being a dreamer, he enjoys writing across genres and varied themes.
