These are the days of ilk-driven society. In this age, community-nepotism is rampant; it is no longer the age of the scholar or the pundit, but the age of the trader or the merchant-broker. The intellectual is no longer favored and coveted, but is, in fact, ignored and heavily and deliberately disfavored.

These are the days of ilk-driven society. In this age, community-nepotism is rampant; it is no longer the age of the scholar or the pundit, but the age of the trader or the merchant-broker. The intellectual is no longer favored and coveted, but is, in fact, ignored and heavily and deliberately disfavored.
Ambarish Chari is a brilliant young IT graduate, from a rich family, who is proud of his ilk. He notes that he is not able to get, land, a challenging job in a particular company because the company in which he desires to work, is not owned , controlled, and run by members of his own ilk.
By destiny, Chari gets a job in the company he wants to work in.
Years pass. However, in his new career, feels that he is undeservedly buoyed, praised, complimented, pampered and promoted. He eventually discovers that the sad reason for the favorable treatment accorded to him in his company, is to make him a scapegoat, a fall guy.
Eventually, Chari unravels what is possibly the most Machiavellian conspiracy of industrial and financial deceit and fraud, and by a person who belongs to his own ilk.

Several generations have faced this problem—a mediocre progeny born to a brilliant, outstanding parent.
Dr. Achrekar, a software genius, faces the same problem with his biological son, Chetan. He decides to do something about it and invents a technological, identical, working alternative of his son.
To test the performance of his invention, he appoints the brilliant, precocious teenager, Varsha Deshmukh. Varsha yearns to pursue her doctoral thesis on the subject of History of Technology and learn about sociology, under Dr. Achrekar’s guidance.
But when twelve months have gone by, Varsha guesses that the “Chetan” she has been interacting with and observing, is not the real one. But she cannot let Dr. Achrekar know she is aware of it, as she has to achieve her academic objectives.
Does Dr. Achrekar succeed in technologically supplanting his biological son, Chetan, who he feels is mediocre?
