Vikram is an artist at heart, an engineer and an 'MBA' by education and a strategy-and-management-consultant-who-has-done-product-management-and-vlsi-in-another-lifetime by profession. When he's not working, he can be found writing, drawing, singing, working wood or clay and generally investing his time into some form of art. Hollow Progress is his second novel, the first one being '35 MM', a book he co-authored as a CSR initiative with four colleagues. He's currently working on a book of short stories. He lives with his wife, two boys and a pet dog. He dreams of financial independence and being able to commit to the arts full-time. Will his dreams come true?
