For a decade and a half, Sujata Rajpal worked as a Corporate Communications professional before she decided to hang up her boots and pursue full-time writing. Her debut novel The Other End of the Corridor (2015), is a social drama about domestic abuse and fraud in arranged marriages. The book which is now in its third reprint has received wide media coverage in publications such as The Hindu, The Times of India, The Telegraph and many others.
