Parekhit Bhattacharjee:

With nearly two decades of experience across India, China, Singapore and global markets, Parekhit Bhattacharjee has built a career around one of communication’s most essential skills: understanding people. As a global communications leader in the technology sector, he works at the intersection of technology, culture, innovation and human behaviour. Yet beyond corporate storytelling lies another side of his creative life one shaped by poetry, literary fiction, music and photography.

Bhattacharjee’s debut poetry collection, A Map Without Names, explored identity, memory, solitude and belonging, earning him the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award presented by BookLeaf Publishing. His second book, Things We Never Said, moves into literary fiction, focusing on overlooked lives, unfinished conversations and the emotions hidden within ordinary moments.

His professional journey has also earned recognition from PRovoke Media and Reputation Today, while his story features in Westland’s Aspire: Stories About 24 Global Indians in Communications. Based in Singapore, Bhattacharjee continues to write, observe and explore the spaces where words often fall silent.
