Nilay Shah

Nilay is a CA by qualification, and an author, theatre enthusiast, director and screenwriter by passion. Ever since early childhood has he loved creating tales out of anything that came his way.

Having written his first story at the age of 6, Nilay went on to write short stories, direct short films and plays before penning down his debut Gujarati novel Asammat in 2014, at the tender age of 19 while simultaneously pursuing Chartered Accountancy and graduation. While the book got published in 2016, he penned down this English version of the same tale - A Life to Die For in the same year.

A corporate professional by day and an artist by night, Nilay has since then worked on a number of other projects including Kasar, a Gujarati play he has written and directed. At present, he is laying down the structure for his second novel and another theatrical piece.

Nilay is determined to create things that can stand apart from the rest, that can create a place of their own in the hearts [as well as minds] of recipients.
