New Delhi [India], December 15: From the rain-washed greens of Kerala to the bustling energy of Bengaluru, author and wildlife photographer Anil Sawan, 42, has spent his life straddling two worlds—technology and the wilderness. By profession, he leads Digital Product Management and Transformation, but by heart, he belongs undeniably to the forest. His third and latest book, Guardians of Dandaka: The Awakening, marks his first venture into eco-thrillers and continues his unwavering mission of bringing the wild closer to younger readers.
A Voice That Grows from the Wilderness
Sawan’s roots run deep into India’s natural landscapes. As a passionate wildlife photographer, he has spent years watching “light settle on fur, feathers, lakes, and leaves,” allowing these quiet moments to guide his storytelling. His poetic beginnings—Aaranya: Verses from the Living Wilderness and Kabini: Whispers of Myth and Wilderness—laid the foundation for a literary journey that blends wonder, myth, ecology, and emotion.
