Bhanu is working with Canara Bank at their Head Office, Bengaluru, India.<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1fanzo5 StoryBodyCompanionColumn\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p>Until about three years ago, <a rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Bhanu Srivastav\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bhanusrivastav.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bhanu Srivastav<\/a> was a banker in Canara Bank, Head Office, Bengaluru, India, who was distinguished from the suited phalanx of his colleagues in this city&#8217;s crowded IT district only by his secret hobby.<\/p>\n<p>While others planned weekend excursions on the Multiplexes &amp; Bars, Bhanu, employed by Canara Bank, indulged a passion for writing, labouring in his private time on an inspirational suspense thriller novel about life &amp; success.<\/p>\n<p>Every day after coming from his office, he would work hours and hours on draft after draft of the book, trying to get it right. He did 7 drafts in all. He almost gave up when publishers kept turning him down, but he kept on trying and moved forward with self-publishing after getting turned down from most of the Publishers.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Hacker 404 Happiness not found by Bhanu Srivastav\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HackerbyBhanu\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/uploads\/582a546c37fd06818effc05e2621375a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"491\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today, Bhanu is still a banker, but he has also become the biggest-selling English-language novelist in India.<\/p>\n<p>His inspirational suspense thriller, &#8220;Hacker 404 Happiness not found,&#8221; published in 2020, sold a half-million copies in just a few months of its launch.<\/p>\n<p>Bhanu, who wrote his novels while living in Bengaluru, has difficulty explaining why a 28-year-old banker writing in his spare time has had such phenomenal success in reaching an audience of millennials. One reviewer concluded a review of &#8220;Hacker 404 Happiness not found&#8221; with the suggestion: &#8220;It&#8217;s time to make an error in our robotic life to make our soul free.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am very grateful to the readers for their love and support for my novel,&#8221; said Bhanu in an interview here. Bhanu has touched a nerve with young Indian readers and acquired almost cult status, and this undoubtedly says a great deal about their tastes, attitudes and hopes. Bhanu might not be another Chetan Bhagat, writing Love stories, but he has authentic claims to being one of the voices of a generation of middle-class Indian youth facing the choices and frustrations that come with the prospect of growing wealth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/uploads\/68fdfad4c9128de0a3b8486ddab566c5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"483\" height=\"323\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bhanu now wants to be a part of the historic changes taking place as India awakens to its potential. According to him, &ldquo;Indian readers are now changing their taste. This happened because everybody wants to use the word &lsquo;Author&rsquo; before his name no matter what they are writing is useful for readers or not. The Indian Literature industry is now full of these kinds of writers that&rsquo;s the reason the readers are now very choosy while buying their next book. Gone are the days when you write a college love story and it will become a best-seller. Now they love the stories which they can relate with themselves which they can live while reading.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Hacker 404 Happiness not found by Bhanu Srivastav is the story of rags to riches journey of a person who fights with his destiny to change it. The story gives us a message if we have a strong will, we can change our destiny.<\/p>\n<p>From a banker to a bestselling author, Bhanu has covered a long distance in his life. In the coming future, he will have more records to be broken.<\/p>\n<p>According to the publisher, &#8220;He is not a literary writer, but, more importantly, he is a successful and popular writer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/indianews.com_56437.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">India News<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Jyothi Bhattacharya<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=banker-bhanu-srivastav-becomes-bestselling-author-in-india\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 8746056335<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> India<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indianews.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.indianews.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"http:\/\/www.indianews.com\" style=\"width:900px; height:400px;\"><\/object><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=banker-bhanu-srivastav-becomes-bestselling-author-in-india\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hacker 404 Happiness not found by Bhanu Srivastav Bhanu Srivastav, the author of &#8216;Hacker 404 Happiness not found&#8217; became a bestselling author in just a few months of the launch of his debut novel.
