Tvisha is an Electronics Engineer by profession working in a startup that builds AI Chip, based in California. She came to writing late. She told stories long before she had books to read—there was no library where she grew up, so she read whatever paper reached the house and invented the rest, usually out loud. Studies and work took the next few decades. The stories waited.
She is India-born, Gujarati by heritage. She has spent her adult life keeping the culture alive in her home and neighbourhood, through food, through classical dance, through the artwork of Gujarat, in the way that people do when they are far from the place they come from and understand that distance is erosion.
TAPOVAN comes from that same instinct. It is an act of preservation as much as a novel.
She lives in California with her husband and son.
