Goodreads asked Chandrayan Gupta:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Chandrayan Gupta I write short stories as a hobby, and so I wrote a 16-page short story about a private investigator being approached by a woman whose son had allegedly committed suicide. She, however, did not believe so. I decided to expand the story once I'd finished it. The plot went through some radical changes. The private investigator, Radha Bose, got an assistant, Aditya Gokhale. I introduced elements of mental health issues. The whole thing just grew and grew, until my first book, "Birth of a Duo", was born.
