edit data

Balakarthiga is the author of Kadamba Vana Priya, Mathurapuri Chronicles, Butterfly Met Hurricane, Schezwan Jalebi, and The Tales and Musings of a Small-Town Girl. Born and raised in Madurai, her hometown remains the heart of her storytelling.

An NIT Trichy graduate, she balances life as a Product Marketer in the SaaS industry by day and a writer by passion. Her biggest cheerleaders? Her parents, Hema and Muruganantham, who have proudly championed every word she’s ever written.

She lives her own happily-ever-after with her college sweetheart, now husband, and their two wonderful kids. When not writing, she can be found savoring filter coffee, parotta, and tender coconut payasam.
