Ankit Mangal grew up in the modest town of Shahpura, Jaipur, carrying dreams far bigger than his surroundings. A Computer Science Engineering graduate from Amity University Rajasthan, he chose a path beyond the conventional corporate route—preparing for the UPSC while working as a school teacher. Teaching brought him close to young minds and unspoken struggles, nurturing his deep interest in human behavior and psychology. Alongside academics, Ankit has actively participated in counselling sessions, working with students and individuals facing emotional, motivational, and psychological challenges. These real-life interactions shaped his understanding of attachment, loss, healing, and emotional resilience—themes that naturally reflect in his writing. Storytelling has always been a part of him. During his college years, he worked as a writer and director on his YouTube channel, @TheCreatorsProduction, exploring emotions through filmmaking. A passionate traveler, Ankit draws inspiration from religious and spiritual places. These journeys sparked his long-term project, The Seven Deadly Sins, a novel rooted in Hindu mythology, currently in progress. Before that, he chose to tell a simpler yet emotionally honest story. C.O.N.S.T.A.N.T — “A friendship paused. A love that remained.” — is his debut novel, reflecting modern relationships, emotional dependence, and the bonds that remain even as life quietly moves on.
