Rajat Roy

Rajat Roy is a historical fiction author and business consultant based in Sydney, Australia. An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode, he combines analytical precision with a passion for uncovering the untold stories of colonial India. His debut novel, The Traitor’s Bargain, explores the fall of Bengal and the rise of the East India Company through the intertwined lives of rulers, conspirators, rebels, merchants, and soldiers. It is the first in a planned trilogy tracing the arc of British conquest and Indian resistance across the subcontinent.

When not writing, Rajat shares reflections on colonial history with a growing community of readers and researchers interested in the legacies of empire. His insights - often drawn from meticulous historical research - can be found on social media and the website of the publishing imprint Emberline Books.
