Daksh Tyagi is a writer and speaker, who has made a career of looking at things the way no one else does.
Daksh Tyagi is the author of A Nation of Idiots, Tripping Abroad, A Nuclear Family, and Signs of Life. One of the most original voices to come out of India in recent times, Daksh’s readers know him for his hilariously dry social commentary, ruthless judgements, and an ability to fence with terribly tricky issues. He has a knack for breaking down complex cultural conundrums with what can only be described as a cool wit.
As a kid, Daksh wanted to be an explorer. As an adult – he is a father of two, a son of two, and a husband to one. Exploring is a scheduling nightmare.
Daksh has featured on popular podcasts such as Cyrus Says and Figuring Out with Raj Shamani, and his articles have been published by Sydney Morning Herald and The ABC (Australia).
