Biography

An alumnus of Presidency College, Kolkata, and Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, Jha's second book The Heat and Dust Project: the Broke Couple’s Guide to Bharat, co-written with wife, Devapriya Roy, was published on 24 May 2015 and debuted at no.1 on the Hindustan Times-A.C. Nielsen list, and became a bestseller.[5] It chronicles the story of travelling through India on local buses "on a very very tight budget". The Heat and Dust Project[6][7][8][9] is also a first-of-its-kind dynamic book as the couple used Facebook to document their journey even as it was underway.[10][11]

Currently Jha is writing a serious non-fiction book called The Nexus, about the nexus between energy, food and water and its impact on economic growth. In 2017, he founded the website Delhi Defence Review.[12]
