Notion Press, India’s largest self-publishing company, has published its latest book, Adventures of an Indian Techie. Written by a self-proclaimed ‘1-gram techie,’ Nipun Varma, who has over 16 years of experience in the IT industry, the book captures the many humorous and sometimes unfortunate situations the author has faced in his professional life. The wit and humour with which the author has written the book could strike a chord with a wide range of audience and especially, IT professionals.

Not everyone gets to achieve the ambitions and work in a job that they had always wanted to do. The same is true in the IT industry. According to the author, there are two kinds of IT employees, and he calls them the ‘916 techies’ and the ‘1-gram techies’. While the first kind is the hardcore techies who eat, sleep and breathe technology, the latter just work to earn a living. He gives them an attribute of being ‘talk-nologists’ instead of being technologists, and the author considers himself to be one amongst them.

The Adventures of an Indian Techie goes on to describe how, the author, using talk-nology as an advantage, bluffs, lies and outwits other people to make his career in this industry. The book, in other words, is a confession of whatever he has done and seen and unearthing everything he has witnessed. It is an uncut and unrated version of what he has to say.

Hailing from Vaikon, Kerala, Nipun considers himself to be a ‘916 Mallu’ and is also an avid public speaker, movie fanatic, a voracious reader, stand-up comedian, part-time actor and social worker. Being a ‘Jack of all trades and master of none,’ he is known for his witty tongue and humour which comes to the spotlight in his debut short story collection. He has written numerous short stories and essays which have won him awards at several creative writing competitions underlining his ability and passion for writing.

The book is available in print and e-book format at the Notion Press bookstore and several other popular e-commerce platforms including Amazon and Flipkart.
