Padmini Palaparthy was born in Chandigarh, India, and grew up in a loving family with her parents and elder sister. She earned a degree in chemical engineering, followed by a master’s degree in information technology. Her professional journey began with a campus placement at an IT services firm. She went on to build a successful career in sales, spanning over a decade. After the birth of her children, she chose to leave the corporate world behind and dedicate herself fully to their growth and development. Later, she founded STEMdroid, an institute dedicated to STEM education. Over the next five years, she nurtured it into a thriving centre of hands-on learning, supported by a dedicated team of teachers and mentors. Under her guidance, students from the institute went on to compete at international levels in Robotics. Her love for writing—nurtured through childhood diaries and years of blogging—culminated in her debut novel, a journey that has been years in the making. Padmini now lives in Germany with her husband and two teenage sons. She journals her experiences on her website: https://dailyreveries.com/.
