Award-winning author Baba KaranVeeR has officially signed his second book deal with Srishti Publishers & Distributors, one of India’s most respected and established publishing houses, through Saisha Nighhot’s company Avion Marketing.

The announcement comes after the remarkable success of his debut book NUSQE, which earned widespread recognition and won five prestigious literary awards across India and internationally, including honours in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Nepal. The success of NUSQE established Baba KaranVeeR as a distinctive voice in contemporary literature and brought him recognition among readers and literary circles alike.

Srishti Publishers & Distributors has been instrumental in publishing several bestselling Indian authors and is known for discovering fresh voices while promoting impactful stories across fiction, non-fiction, self-help, and commercial literature. Being associated with such a renowned publishing house marks another significant milestone in Baba KaranVeeR’s literary journey.

When asked about his upcoming book, Baba KaranVeeR revealed that the novel is set in Bombay and explores the fascinating yet often overlooked world of India’s call centre industry.

“Call centres have been a major pillar of the Indian economy for decades,” he said. “Millions of Indians work in this sector, yet very few people truly understand what their lives are like beyond the office floor.”

The novel promises to delve deep into the realities of call centre life—the hardships, struggles, ambitions, friendships, victories, disappointments, and personal sacrifices experienced by employees. Alongside these human stories, readers can also expect workplace drama, emotional twists, and the unique culture that has defined India’s booming outsourcing industry.

According to Baba KaranVeeR, the story is loosely inspired by true events, adding an extra layer of authenticity and intrigue to the narrative.

The author remained deliberately mysterious when asked whether he himself had ever worked in a call centre.

With a smile, he simply replied: “You’ll have to wait for the book.”

As anticipation builds around his second release, Baba KaranVeeR appears excited to share a story that shines a spotlight on the lives of millions of Indians whose contributions have helped shape one of the country’s most important industries.

With an award-winning debut already behind him and a major publishing partnership now in place, readers and literary enthusiasts will be eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Baba KaranVeeR’s writing journey.
