Ishan Mahapatra
Ishan Mahapatra is a grade 9 student and lives in Bangalore with his parents, originally hailing from the vibrant city of Kolkata. A young author with a keen sense of awareness, his book delves into crucial themes such as sustainability, wars, environmental pollution, green energy and societal issues like ragging in educational institutions—practices that not only cause unnecessary stress but also erode fundamental human values.
Beyond writing, Ishan is equally passionate about environmental conservation and sports, balancing his interests with an unwavering commitment to creating a positive impact. However, his most cherished moments are those spent with his grandparents, who still reside in Kolkata. Their wisdom and warmth remain an irreplaceable part of his life, and he deeply misses their presence.
Through his book, Ishan hopes to inspire awareness and action, believing that even small steps can lead to meaningful change for both society and the planet.
