Kripa Balakrishnan

Kripa Balakrishnan gained her inspiration to write stories because of her two young kids who love to read books. Her kids love her stories and are in fact her best critics! She presently lives and works in North America with her husband (who is also the illustrator of Tales of Rishi and Neela) and her two energetic little bundles! Kripa is a graduate of BITS Pilani in India; she subsequently earned her PhD in life sciences. When she is not working or driving her kids around for classes and play dates, Kripa likes to spend her leftover time creating jewelry or listening to podcasts.
