About Sanjoy Banerjee

A fifteen-year quest to the page

Sanjoy Banerjee’s debut novel, In Quest – The Awakening, began as a seed of an idea in 2011 and grew over fifteen years into a fully realised work of literary fiction. The novel reflects Sanjoy’s deep interest in the tension between ambition and meaning — a tension familiar to millions navigating modern corporate life.

Set across the grey corridors of corporate Delhi and the mist-draped jungles of Northeast India, the book draws on authentic cultural grounding and visceral sensory detail to create a world that feels both deeply Indian and universally human.

While the characters and events are entirely fictional, the emotions and questions they grapple with — burnout, identity, surrender, transformation — are universal. Sanjoy writes for those who have ever asked: “Is this really it?”
