In an inspiring career transformation that proves it's never too late to follow your passion, Bangalore-based marketing professional Harish Vasudevan has successfully made the leap from corporate boardrooms to literary acclaim with his debut crime thriller.
A Corporate Professional's Literary Dream

"The transition wasn't as dramatic as it might seem," Vasudevan explains. "Marketing taught me how to engage audiences, understand human psychology, and craft compelling narratives. These skills proved surprisingly relevant when I began writing fiction."

Bangalore's Growing Literary Scene
Vasudevan's success story adds another layer to Bangalore's reputation as not just India's technology capital but also as a nurturing ground for diverse creative talents. The city's vibrant cultural scene and literary communities provide fertile ground for aspiring writers from all professional backgrounds.
"Bangalore has this unique energy where technology, business, and arts coexist and cross-pollinate," Vasudevan notes. "I've found incredible support among fellow writers and readers here."
Inspiration for Aspiring Writers
For other professionals dreaming of literary success, Vasudevan offers practical advice:
- Start small but start now: Don't wait for the perfect moment to begin writing
- Embrace your professional background: Your unique experiences can become your greatest storytelling assets
- Build a writing routine: Consistency matters more than occasional bursts of inspiration
- Join writing communities: Feedback and support from fellow writers can be invaluable
Vasudevan's journey from marketing professional to published author serves as powerful inspiration for anyone who believes they've put their creative dreams on hold for too long. His success demonstrates that sometimes, the most compelling stories come from those who have lived in multiple worlds.
