Ex-banker Chetan Bhagat talks about his blockbuster books

Banker turned India’s best-selling English novelist, Chetan Bhagat, explains why writing is more fulfilling than banking.

Given that Indian authors have won a slew of Booker prizes and other awards during the past few years, it may come as a surprise that India's best-selling English-language novelist is largely unknown outside his home country. Chetan Bhagat's books have not won any international literary awards, sell primarily in India and have rarely been lauded by critics.
