About Rajesh Kumar Sinha
Rajesh Kumar Sinha was born in Patna, Bihar, and began his journey in Hindi literature as a writer and poet in the 1980s. In 1987, Mumbai became his professional base, following which he also became actively involved in literary and technical translation. As a poet, he has written more than a thousand poems in Hindi over the years, a body of work far larger than what has appeared in his published collections.
He has translated more than a dozen technical books on insurance from English into Hindi, all of which have been published — work that runs in parallel to his literary output and reflects the same discipline he brings to both craft and career.
