1. Chetan Bhagat

   Chetan Prakash Bhagat (born 22 April 1974) is a well known Indian author, columnist, Bollywood screenwriter, social media influencer and motivational speaker. He was included in Time magazine's list of World's 100 Most Influential People in 2010.Bhagat holds degrees in Mechanical engineering and MBA from prestigious Indian institutions like IIT & IIM respectively. He started his career as an investment banker, but left it after a few years to pursue his passion in writing. He has written eight novels and three non-fiction books. Right from the time his first best-selling novel Five Point Someone was published in 2004, his subsequent novels have found a place on bestsellers lists. His novels will not be there on lists like 'Top 10 bestselling Indian novels of all time' or '12 best Indian novels that everyone needs to read,’ but one of his novels 'Five Point Someone' does find a place in a list like '20 best selling novels you must read.’ Bhagat has been described as "the biggest selling English language novelist in India's history.” However, Bhagat has also been criticised for his writing skills as not being literary, but "formulaic and targeting a specific audience" and that he is "literally, the Maharaja Mac of literature," as his books are like "processed material that people consume in a hurry.” Bhagat has even been accused of plagiarism for his novel 'One Indian Girl', a charge he has denied and rubbished the allegations as unfounded and "deeply unfortunate".In April 2017, a controversy erupted over a decision of Delhi University to include Bhagat's novel 'Five Point Someone' as part of the English Literature syllabus from the academic session that would start in July 2017. But after a lot of heated debate on this issue, the Delhi University decided in September 2017 to put on hold the recommendations of its English Department to include Bhagat's novel in their course and set up a review committee. Five of Chetan Bhagat's novels have been adapted into Bollywood films like 'Hello' in 2008 (One Night @ the Call Center); '3 Idiots' in 2009 (Five Point Someone); 'Kai Po Che' in 2013 (The 3 Mistakes of My Life); '2 States' in 2014 (2 States); and 'Half Girlfriend' in 2017 (Half Girlfriend). Bhagat has also done scriptwriting for Bollywood films like 'Kai Po Che' (2013) (based on his novel The 3 Mistakes of My Life); 'Kick' (2014) and 'Half Girlfriend' (2017) (based on his novel of the same name). Bhagat along with Pubali Chaudri, Supratik Sen and Abhishek Kapoor won the Filmfare Award for Best Screenplay for 'Kai Po Che!' at the 59th Filmfare Awards in January 2014. They are listed on the official website of Filmfare in 'Filmfare winners of the year 2014.’Bhagat is regularly invited as a Motivational Speaker by various institutes and organisations in India and abroad. He is also a keen and influential social media enthusiast who shares his thoughts on current issues actively, especially on Twitter and Facebook where he has garnered a combined following of more than 18 million followers. He also writes oped columns for English and Hindi newspapers, including The Guardian, The Times of India and Dainik Bhaskar, focusing on youth, career, leadership, political issues and current affairs.
