I’m a faculty visiting several Central & State Universities including IGNOU, Baba Saheb Dr BR Ambedkar Central University, Police -Para Miliary Training Colleges and Administrative Training Institutions etc. My passion for storytelling extends across industries—I collaborate with major film and TV production houses as a consultant editor, lyricist, and author, crafting compelling narratives that resonate with audiences. As a writer, I dive deep into uncharted territories, exploring rare and unknown subjects, and my bestsellers—available in multiple languages—are a testament to my literary excellence. In addition, my spiritual lyrics have struck a chord with renowned singers and music directors, further showcasing my creative versatility. Beyond my professional achievements, I nurture a sincere interest in the art and science of fortune-telling, which adds a unique dimension to my diverse passions. My favorite mantra, "Nothing is impossible," fuels my relentless curiosity and drives me to constantly evolve and create. On the personal front, I’m happily married to Ranjana Sharma, a dedicated homemaker, and together, we are the proud parents of two accomplished daughters: Ms. Sukriti Suryavanshi, married to successful businessman Mr. Avijit Suryavanshi, and Ms. Sanskriti Singh, married to IT engineering professional Mr. Vishal Vikram Singh.
