Chetan Bhagat

Chetan Bhagat was born on born 22 April 1974. He studied at The Army Public School, Delhi (1978-1991) and graduated from IIT Delhi (1991-1995). He completed his post-graduate studies from IIM Ahmedabad (1995-1997). At IIM Ahmedabad, he received a medal for the 'best outgoing student award'. He has been working in Hong Kong with Goldman Sachs, an investment bank, since 1999.

His first novel Five Point Someone relives his own days in IIT through the light-hearted story of three IITians who do not live up to others’ academic expectations. The book, with its humorous narrative and contemporary Indian student argot, achieved a sort of cult popularity and has topped national bestseller lists.

Chetan Bhagat won the Society Young Achiever’s award in 2004 and the Publisher’s recognition award in 2005. .
