Biography

Kaushal was born and brought up in New Delhi and her stories are based on her personal experiences. An MBA from IIM Calcutta, she has worked with Nestle India Limited and Nokia Mobile Phones, India. Kaushal lives in Connecticut with her husband and children.

Piece of Cake is one of India's first women's fiction books and was an immediate hit upon its launch. Covered in numerous publications, including the New York Times,[1] this novel's protagonist is Minal Sharma. A 29-year old up and coming marketing associate, whose hilarious brushes with matrimony, romance and product launches connected with audiences across cultures, with a translation and publication in Germany.

A Girl Like Me portrays the life of an Indian girl named Anisha Rai and her adaptation to the cultures, people and her school in India. A Girl Like Me has resonated with a wide array of audiences across ages and praised for its sensitive yet sparkling style.[2]

In 2012 she published Drop Dead a police-procedural featuring a female protagonist - Senior Detective Niki Marwah of the Himachal Police, and followed it up in 2014 with a sequel, Lethal Spice. Drop Dead was one of the earliest entrants in the Indian female crime fiction genre, and was noted for its strong-willed, bold yet feminine lead.[3] In Lethal Spice, Kaushal brings Niki Marwah back in the unique setting of a televised chef competition.[4]

In 2017, Swati Kaushal launched her fifth book, A Few Good Friends,[5] a novel about how friendships both transform and endure.
