He is the author of the Bharat Series — The Rozabal Line, Chanakya’s Chant, The Krishna Key, The Sialkot Saga, Keepers of the Kalachakra, The Vault of Vishnu, The Magicians of Mazda, and The Ayodhya Alliance — a collection that reimagines India’s civilisational wisdom through contemporary storytelling. Ashwin has co-authored two New York Times and Sunday Times (UK) bestsellers with James Patterson — Private India (City on Fire) and Private Delhi (Count to Ten) — and created the Kutta Kadam crime-thriller series, whose debut novel Razor Sharp became a national bestseller.
