Born and raised in Bangalore, Aditya Rao earned his Engineering degree from Cornell University, Ithaca. After completing his studies, Aditya moved to New York City to pursue his career as a Software Engineer.
There he met and eventually rescued Faith, his little Staffy pup, who he believes was instrumental in bringing him and his future wife, Sheetal together.
Aditya harboured a love for writing from a young age, and now sketches story ideas during his spare time which inevitably happens to be weekends. His main themes of interest are fantasy, choice, the conundrum of the human psyche and why we do the things we do.
He has been told that he is an excellent cook, his signature dish being Chicken Biryani. As a family who loves to eat, Aditya Rao and his wife love exploring foreign cultures and cuisines.
