I’m a 16-year-old author from Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, and part of the JPIS graduating batch of 2026.

I wrote What Is Worse Than Murder? to explore a question that lingered long after every heartbreak and silence — can betrayal, selfishness, or emotional abandonment be more devastating than violence itself? Inspired by the people around me, I wrote not to accuse, but to understand. This book is my way of putting words to the wounds we often don’t name.

Outside of writing, I’ve impacted over 100,000 individuals across India through my social initiatives, earning the Changemaker of the Year award. I’ve written over 50 poems, published several, and ranked 33rd worldwide across all age groups in a global poetry competition.

This is my first book — but it carries the weight of everything I’ve lived, questioned, and grown from.
