Tarun Vikash hails from Patna, from where he finished his schooling. He pursued his graduation from Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology, Bengaluru, and is currently working as a Senior Technical lead in a reputed information technology (IT) firm in the same city.
Tarun was a theatre artist in his college days, participating in several plays and performing in inter-college competitions. When writing became a passion for him, he sought to author books that would resonate with every household in India.
He aims to bring many more real love stories to his audience, which spans the world. Tarun believes that real stories have the power to change society. Besides, reading about them also gives us some time off from our mobile phones so we can connect with ourselves.
She Stood by Me and The Right Guy are his bestselling novels, inspired by true events.
In his latest romance novel, He Stood By Me, Tarun tries to keep the characters and story genuine and authentic—as with his previous two novels. This novel takes readers back to their college days and shows them another side of the world we live in, the fact that love is not easy in any part of the world. This is a true love story.
