Ujjal Sinha

Ujjal Sinha turned to writing fiction after a storied career in advertising and communications, and life as a serial entrepreneur. He has written two novels, Ujanjatra and Kalodighi and a collection of short stories Niruddishttho (to be published in January 2026). His debut novel, Ujanjatra, tells the story of Babu, a sensitive and absent-minded child and his other personality Milon, a street-smart and violent youngster, as the pair navigate mid-20th century Bengali suburbia. It is a story spanning 150 years, following the fortunes of a family as old as the ancient forest, firmly rooted in the alluvial soil of Gangetic Bengal.
