PRESS RELEASE
PRH, in collaboration with Ravi Subramanian, will select the best thriller stories submitted as part of a contest, beginning from 25th October till 25th December, 2017. These stories will then become part of a one-of-a-kind anthology of thrillers, to be published in 2018. The contest is open for all and the submissions will be judged based on twists and the reader-is-hooked way thrillers have a penchant for.
Ravi Subramanian states, “India doesn’t lack good thriller writers, what it lacks is exposure for good thriller writers. With this anthology we expect to change that. By giving a voice to a number of good thriller writers, I am hoping to make a difference to the thriller genre in this country.”
Editor-in-Chief at PRH, Milee Ashwarya comments, “’Ravi Subramanian is a master craftsman of thrillers with a knack for making complex plots engaging and entertaining. I can’t think of anyone else who can curate the collection of the best thriller writing from India. This sure is going to be treat for all readers.”
Ravi Subramanian, an alumnus of IIM Bangalore, has spent two decades working his way up the ladder of power in the amazingly exciting and adrenaline-pumping world of global banks in India. It is but natural that his stories are set against the backdrop of the financial services industry. He lives in Mumbai with his wife, Dharini, and daughter, Anusha.
In 2008, his debut novel, If God Was a Banker, won the Golden Quill Readers’ Choice Award. The Incredible Banker won him the Economist Crossword Book Award in 2012. Deemed “The John Grisham of banking” by Wall Street Journal for his book Bankerupt, his use of the futuristic virtual currency in the plot of God is a Gamer was applauded by the world which runs on adrenaline-by-reading. His latest thriller, In the name of God, “has established a benchmark in the world of suspense thrillers”, according to The Times of India.
