His first article was published in his school newspaper at the tender age of nine. As Editor of his high school newspaper and yearbook, and having studied journalism in USA, where he was the newspaper’s News Editor; he developed a passion for writing early in life. He was “Journalist of the Year” and received an “All American Journalist Award” from the American Scholastic Press Association.

As a Retail Consultant, he wrote prolifically for various retail publications. For one article, he interviewed several industry leaders, including Kishore Biyani, considered the father of modern retail in India. Little did poor Mr. Biyani know that Amit would lambast him in the article. The next time they ran into each other, Mr. Biyani told Amit that – being a fellow Marwari – he should have been less critical of him.

It was the same article that led a leading publisher to approach Amit to write a book – back in 2010, but that part of Amit’s life only began seven years later.  When he did begin, he did not stop or even pause.
