Biography

An alumnus of Presidency College, Kolkata, and Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jha's second book The Heat and Dust Project: the Broke Couple’s Guide to Bharat, co-written with wife, Devapriya Roy, was published on 24 May 2015 and debuted at no.1 on the Hindustan Times-A.C. Nielsen list, and became a bestseller.[5] It chronicles the story of travelling through India on local buses "on a very very tight budget". The Heat and Dust Project,[6][7][8][9] is also a first-of-its-kind dynamic book as the couple used Facebook to document their journey even as it was underway.[10][11] In August 2022, Jha published his serious non-fiction book called Negotiating The New Normal, charting the course for India's economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2017, he founded the online journal Delhi Defence Review.[12]
