Ajay Mohan Jain

Among the new breeds of Indian writers, he is a one who writes from the perspective of Indian middle-class. Himself coming from a typical middle-class family, he got the opportunity to see life very closely through various phases and places while working in private and public sector especially, with a leading commercial bank. The entire revelation was so compelling that he ‘dropped-out’ to pen these down. He is a freelancer now, recently starting his new venture Aspire Publishers to give vent to his passion for literary activities.

He has been writing regularly - mostly on topics of general interest - for various newspapers and periodicals.
