He holds an MBA from The Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore and has donned different professional hats over the past twenty years -- Corporate Trainer, Management Consultant, Technology Manager, Financial Planner, and Faculty at Business Schools. An avid reader since childhood, Jayant was always enamoured by the power of the written word and the intricacies of the English language. While he had several stories going on in his head and penned some of them partially on paper, the real impetus to heed his calling and practice his passion came in the form of Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy, which he happened to read while immigrating to the US. That is how Colours in the Spectrum was born. Thereafter, Jayant completed the Certificate Program in Literary Fiction at the University of Washington. Jayant has compiled and edited two non-fiction publications -- anthologies of true incidents from the life of a gifted humanitarian, ever since. An inveterate film fan, he has written the script for a full-length feature film and is optimistic of finding serious takers. He has also begun work on his next novel, tentatively titled Family Secrets. In his free time, Jayant volunteers with several professional organizations in the Seattle area. He is a member of the Board of Directors of IIM Americas -- an alumni association of premier B-schools. His wife Vidhya is a Human Resources professional and a dilettante marathon runner.view less
