Born in Hammersmith, England, Rohith S. Katbamna began his writing career in the film and television industry. Following on from his work with the BBC, Channel 4 and IFC, including his acclaimed documentary, Hooking in JoBurg , Rohith’s feature debut came at the age of 28 when he wrote, produced, shot and directed the British television miniseries, PREMature . A culmination of a decade of work on the professional circuit, of which he was nominated for a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit. With the success of the series, he dedicated the next three years towards honing his writing craft through his debut hybrid novel, Down and Rising . An idea originally conceived in response to social and political tensions with an emphasis on humanistic themes and psychological drama. After developing an international readership, he commenced work on his follow-up novel, Gulab (arriving in 2024). A meditative urban noir set against the backdrop of the farmers’ plight in India and the fall-out of Britain’s economic crisis. On Gulab : "It's an unflinching story of regret, perseverance and absolution. A fierce study in human morality that spotlights the corruption of media and government and its lasting impact on the working class.”
