Rohith S. Katbamna

Born in Hammersmith, England, Rohith S. Katbamna began his writing career in the film and television industry.

Following on from his work with the BBC, Channel 4 and IFC, including his acclaimed documentary, 'Hooking in JoBurg', Rohith’s feature debut came at the age of 28 when he wrote, produced, shot and directed the British television miniseries, 'PREMature'. A culmination of a decade of work on the professional circuit, of which he was nominated for a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit.

With the success of the series, he dedicated the next three years towards honing his writing craft through his debut hybrid novel, 'Down and Rising'. An idea originally conceived in response to social and political tensions with an emphasis on humanistic themes and psychological drama.

After developing an international readership, he commenced work on his follow-up novel, 'Gulab'. A meditative urban noir set against the backdrop of the farmers’ plight in India and the fall-out of Britain’s economic crisis.

On 'Gulab': "It's an unflinching story of regret, perseverance and absolution. A fierce study in human morality that spotlights the corruption of media and government and its lasting impact on the working class.”
