Chetan Bhagat comes with a strong India-Hong Kong link. The author credits the 11 years he spent in the city for helping him become a writer, as his first three novels were all written during his tenure as an investment banker in Hong Kong, before moving to Mumbai.
Sharing his first-hand experience, Chetan says, "Hong Kong offers an exciting vibrant setting, its unique fusion of East and West, as well as great diversity of attractions. The place is very inspiring for me as a writer. It was real fun to relive some great moments in this dynamic city offering both traditional Chinese culture and spectacular colonial heritage."
