Dr Kalyanlakshmi Chitta is a banker by profession, an academician by pursuit and a writer by passion. She is presently serving as Senior Manager with Union Bank of India, one of the country’s leading public sector banks. Her decade-long career in academics before migrating to the banking sector is marked by several accomplishments like a doctoral degree in Economics, more than 30 research paper publications in edited volumes and journals, papers presented at prestigious national and international conferences and association with well-known educational institutions in Pune as a faculty. Besides her professional commitments as a banker, she continues to pursue research in areas like open problems in mathematics and higher education in India, a subject very close to her heart and also serves as a reviewer for manuscripts related to number theory and higher education. Kalyani has been an amateur writer as reflected in her articles being published in newspapers when she was barely nine years old, her poetry collection entering into double digits by the time she turned 13 and her passionate attempt at writing 2 novels when she was in Grade IX. She realised her childhood dream of becoming a published writer in 2012 with the publication of her collection of poems and short stories titled ‘At University…’. Her articles feature regularly in the in-house magazines of her organisation and she has also won several accolades for her writings which include prizes in prestigious all-India level inter-bank essay competitions. But perhaps her greatest achievement is that she has not let the severe degenerative visual impairment she was diagnosed with in her early childhood act as a barrier in her endeavour to dream big in life.
