I’m thrilled to share with you all that Maharani Talks has completed a year!

And one of the first podcasters I reached out to is Nikesh Murali, who has been supportive from day one. So I'm really excited that I finally got to sit down with him and have a wonderful discussion about his incredible work as a writer, voice actor and as the creator behind Indian Noir, an acclaimed chart topping podcast that tells thrilling crime and horror stories. And has now become a Spotify exclusive! Indian Noir has been featured in publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, India Today, The Statesman, The News Minute among many others.

As a writer, Nikesh’s work spans close to two decades with a prolific body of work that includes a multi-award winning, Amazon bestselling short story collection 'The Killing Fields', and the novel, 'His Night Begins', which earned him the tag of the 'most hardboiled of Indian crime writers' from World Literature Today Journal. He won the Commonwealth Short Story Prize for the Asian region in 2011.

As one of the early players of the Indian podcast industry, Nikesh talks about Indian Noir’s place in the Indian horror/crime genre, the evolving scene of the podcast industry in the country and many more interesting topics.
