Author

Ayan made his debut as an Author in 2015 with his award-winning short story in '21 Tales to Tell'. This was a result of a nationwide search for India's best new authors which was organized by Notion Press in association with Hindu Literature Fest. Over 400,000 readers voted for the best entries submitted by 562 authors over a period of 27 days to come up with the winning 21, of which the 2nd most voted Author was Ayan.

Since his debut, Ayan has contributed to several Amazon Bestselling anthologies and co-authored 'Crossed and Knotted' which made it into the Limca Book of Records under Literature for being the first ever composite novel written in India.

In 2017 he participated and won in Saptan Stories, a creative collaboration between the multiple Oscar winning Aardman Animations & British Council as a part of UK / India 2017; a year-long celebration of modern-day India and its 70-year relationship with the UK.

The stories collectively had a reach of 18 million with as many as 1.2 million engagements, while the press coverage grabbed 93 million eyeballs. Subsequently, he was awarded by British Council for his contribution as an author and had his work showcased to King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) and Queen Camilla (then Duchess Camilla) among other dignitaries as a part of celebrations to mark 70 years of India-UK Cultural exchange.
