About Me
The author of three novels, The Broken Amoretti, The Aryabhata Clan, and The Ekkos Clan, and, most recently, the biography of modern India’s first scientist, Jagadish Chandra Bose – The Reluctant Physicist, Sudipto is an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur. A columnist, composer, musician, speaker at TEDx, and successful entrepreneur, Sudipto was also the General Secretary of the Sarathi Socio Cultural Trust, successfully involved in various socio-cultural activities in Bangalore since 2003. In 2020, Sudipto led a campaign to help the poor and the needy during the prolonged lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign provided daily rations to more than 25000 people across India, mostly migrant labourers, daily wage earners and poor people.
The author of three novels, The Broken Amoretti, The Aryabhata Clan and The Ekkos Clan, Sudipto is an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur.

A violinist, trained in Western classical music, Sudipto started the music band Kohal in Bangalore in 2007. In 2014 he recreated Eastern European period melodies of the 1940s for the War Musical Schweyk in the Second World War by Bertolt Brecht.
His debut novel, The Ekkos Clan is a contemporary mystery set against the backdrop of ancient Indian history. The book deals extensively with linguistic palaeontology, astronomy, archaeology, history, music and poetry. It has demystified Rig Veda to a great extent, delving deep into the behind the scene stories of Rig Veda, the oldest book of the mankind. It is also one of very few literary works to have touched based on the horrors of the Bengal side of the Indian Partition, something Sudipto talked about at a panel on Borderland Narratives of the Bengal Partition, held at the UIUC in April 2019.
The Aryabhata Clan, as the name suggests, shows Aryabhata in a totally different light. A verse written by the maverick mathematician some 1500 years ago is the key to solving a series of mysteries, hidden in symbols and signs.
Set against the backdrop of his alma mater IIT Kharagpur, his latest novel, The Broken Amoretti, has an unusually bold narrative, a much-needed voice to the many unconventional relationships that have been silenced since ages.
