I am a Spontaneous Writer with a Disciplined Writing Process

An IIM graduate who is a writer by passion

- Smita Das Jain

I am an IIM Indore and Sri Ram College of Commerce alumna and a business strategy professional with more than fourteen years of business strategy experience with Fortune 500 companies such as KPMG, United Technologies Corporation, and JLL. In 2021, after an exciting journey in the corporate world, I decided to pursue my passions full-time. As a Certified Executive Coach and Personal Empowerment Life Coach, I enable my clients to create a career they love and live the life they dream. Gurugram has been my home for the last sixteen years, where I stay with my husband and daughter.

Above all, I am a writer by passion and write something every day. Writing is as much a part of daily routine as eating and sleeping. Samples of my writing are visible in my home office, the sunny terrace garden, my husband's car, and the kitchen napkins. Some of these writings have found a prominent place in national and international anthologies and platforms.

The early tryst with writing...and the hiatus

I was twelve when I wrote my first story. It was published in my school magazine, and I became an overnight sensation for three days. I followed it up with an article. Then another. Eventually, I became the Chief Editor of my school magazine. Then from college life, balance sheets, corporate strategies, whitepapers, and business articles took center stage while creative writing took a back seat.
