《Wattpad India Awards 2021》Meet the Team
Advertisement
Meet the amazing team who helped make Wattpad India Awards 2021 a seamless experience.
Angel is a nursing student from Chhattisgarh. She is a silent listener and an introvert-ish type of person. She is an avid reader who likes to read in every free time she can manage to get. She reads almost all genres of fiction, but mostly loves reading romance. Her love for romance stems from her interest in studying different types of relationships (both romantic and platonic as well as friendship and familial bonds)–since it would be rude to do so in the real world. She has a weakness for stories based on psychological issues, medical conditions, hospital based stories, arranged marriages, paranormal stories. She also likes some mystery and thriller incorporated in the romance. She lacks patience when it comes to reading an extremely long book, and when the story is really interesting she tends to pull an all-nighter. She also likes people watching, listening to music and dancing like a crazy person when no one is watching.
Jigyasa is a reading enthusiast who found her love for writing somewhere along the way. She is a nature lover, a physics student, with a love for adventure and anything mysterious.
Mehreen is a medical student who has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember. Living vicariously through the books she reads is one of her favorite things to do. She also spends her free time daydreaming and waiting around for inspiration to hit her. Always interested in the idea of becoming a writer but never really able to find the patience required, she reviews the stories of other people instead.
Usually residing in her world of daydreams, Saloni Pujari is a Romance and Fantasy enthusiast. She loves character driven stories and during her sparse visits to the real world, she's either busy with meeting deadlines (boring alert!) or on a look out for the next story that would keep her up till sunrise.

Dancing, improv and reading stories on Wattpad is what keeps her interested in this world.

She's passionate about writing, a voracious reader and also likes to dance and explore her passions and do newer things everyday. She works with dedication on things she feels passionate about. The flame for discovery and exploration, compounded with her positive attitude towards life is what makes her who she is.
When she isn't busy slaving off on assignments and projects for college, she lurks on the Internet living on an unhealthy amount of biryani, coffee, binge reading and binge watching in no particular order. Ananya Mallik is what you call a jack of all trades as she dabbles into electronics engineering, becomes a Wattpad Ambassador, all the while never letting go the writer and reader inside, and somehow still being loyal to procrastination.
She's a student pursuing English Literature at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai and an author on Wattpad. She started writing at the age of 15 and somehow progressed from a poorly written princess story to books that have garnered 3 million reads today. Her dreams include getting employed and rich enough to travel the world, especially South Korea where she wishes to fulfill her kdrama fantasies.
Yukta, an introvert with an imaginative mind, has been on Wattpad for seven years and has discovered over 900+ amazing stories. Her genre includes anything and everything in the fictional world of Romance, YA, Teenfiction and New Adult as well as magical fiction that include Werewolf, Vampire and any mythical creatures. She has a fair share of stories penned herself. By day, she is a management student and by night, she is an avid reader and an author. Once a story catches her attention, she dives deep into it and gets lost in the sea of fiction.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
