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 bestselling author of A Nation of Idiots, Tripping Abroad, A Nuclear Family, Signs of Life, Nonsense, and The Radicalist.
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 observations, and an ability to fence with terribly tricky issues. His knack for breaking down complex cultural conundrums makes him one of India's sharpest social commentators.
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).
