Amrita Chowdhury

Finance expert Tara Malhotra, forced to quit her job and follow her husband on a job promotion and transfer back from the States – and hating every minute of it – decides to bring some excitement into her empty high-society Mumbai life by indulging her taste for contemporary Indian art. Determined to set up an art gallery of her own, she sets about acquiring the perfect trophy piece to set off her collection. So when the charismatic Roy Jordan tells her about an exquisite recently-stumbled-upon work by the legendary artist Amrita Sher-Gil she sets her heart – and all her savings – on acquiring it. But the painting is not what it is trumped up to be. Faced with a depleted bank balance, a crumbling marriage and the ignominy of being duped, Tara is determined to expose the man who swindled her... And, in the process, stumbles headlong into the unsavoury goings-on that dog the world of contemporary Indian art.

Amrita Verma Chowdhury is the author of Faking It, an art crime thriller about fake modern and contemporary Indian art.

She holds engineering degrees from IIT Kanpur and UC Berkeley, where she was a Jane Lewis Fellow, and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon-Tepper Business School. Her work as an engineer in Silicon Valley led to seven US patents for semi-conductor fabrication -- something to show for all those bad-haired days. She has done Strategy Consulting and Board Effectiveness work in the US and Australia and has spent long nights fitting five-syllable words inside two-by-two squares. She has worked in the rarefied bastions of Ivy League education bringing together ideas and people. She currently works in publishing.
