Tiwari stands at number seven amongst the top 15 influential Indian authors on social media. [3] He is the recipient of the Newspapers Association of India Achiever Awards 2014, which named him as the "Best Upcoming Novelist".[4][5] In 2017, he was shortlisted for the 2018 International Young Author Awards in Dubai.[6][7] Tiwari also represented India in Qatar in 2019 and hosted a session about Impact of culture on writing.[8][9][10]

Early life

Anuj studied in a Sanskrit-medium school. Nevertheless, he has five novels in the English language to his credit. Born and brought up in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, he dreamt of writing books but kept those dreams to himself for the fear of being mocked. His Sanskrit was much better than his Hindi, and of course, than his English. His determination to impress someone led him to write his first book. It changed everything for him with his later books, which were inspirational and based on true stories. [11][12] Anuj recently married his long-time girlfriend Anushka, also known as Sneha Panday. All five of his books are inspired by their own love story.[13][14]

Career

Tiwari has spoken at TEDx conferences in India.[15][16] [17][18] He claims to have not read even a single book, therefore having no derived inspiration from authors.[19][20] He writes about reality to which readers can relate. His first book, Journey Of Two Hearts, was based on a diary (given to him by his girlfriend) he wrote in when he was in a hospital. His more recent book, It Had to Be You, is again a reflection of reality.[19] He is now an author of five books based on real incidents.[21] Having spoken in many colleges and universities, his stories are based on real-life scenarios that he has recorded over the years. With an MBA degree in finance and human resources management, Tiwari works in Mumbai as an IT professional and marketing consultant.[22] He also earns an added income from being a novelist.

Entrepreneur

Anuj Tiwari is the co-founder of a Mumbai based digital agency called TheAllDigital.[23]

  7. Nine Things Before Falling in Love: Best of Anuj Tiwari's Talks (2020) - It's about one of the truths I have noticed and wanted to share with everyone. Stay single until you find someone who can match your loyalty. Stay single until you find someone who can reciprocate your effort. Stay single until you find someone who can give back the same amount of attention you put out. Stay single until you find someone who can make the same amount of time you share. [37]
  8. Cappuccino (2020) - कुछ कहानियाँ सत्यता के इतने करीब होती हैं कि कहानियां लगती ही नहीं और कुछ हकीकतें वक़्त के साथ ऐसी हो जाती हैं जो पूरी ज़िंदगी सिर्फ कहानियों सी लगने लगती हैं। ऐसी ही एक कहानी जो हकीकत थी या फिर सिर्फ एक कहानी, अर्जुन शायद खुद नहीं समझ सका। Co-authored with "Sneha Panday" [38]
