Sanjay Chandra is an entrepreneur and a writer. Sanjay Chandra was born in a middle-class family in small-town India in 1959. He completed his professional degree in electrical engineering and joined the railway services. He first quit his railway job to join a government company, and then quit working for the government altogether to join the private sector. Eventually, he quit the private sector also and became an entrepreneur. He started writing his memoirs on social media when he realized that people from middle-class India still faced the dilemmas that he faced during his journey of life. Parents still considered engineering or medical to be safe career choices for their children despite numerous other better-paying career options being available. He wrote this debut work with the belief that this may inspire others from the middle-class background to do something different.
