Stories With Ajay Jain
I narrate stories. Those lived. Or imagined. After all, what is our life if not full of stories? Who are we if not a story ourselves?
If this outlook resonates with you, then stay right here. For I would like to tell you a story. Not just one, but many.
And also listen to yours.
My name is Ajay Jain. I write books. If you ask around, you will find my identity to be multi-faceted. But that is either incidental, or complementary, to what I am at the core: an author.
Yes, I am known for other avatars I have donned. In the past, I have had careers in tech and sports management before embarking on a life of creativity. As a journalist, a travel writer and photographer, and an author. And the founder of an independent bookstore, Kunzum. I have been schooled in engineering, business management, journalism and photography.
This is just a preface to what I would like to share with you. Stay right here – if you want to exchange stories with Ajay Jain.
