Vikas Miglani

A middle management executive with a leading Indian Private Sector Bank, Vikas Miglani is a seasoned banker with diversified experience spread across a Primary Dealer, Nationalised Bank, a Non Banking Finance Company (into Housing) 

Having spent a major part of his professional life in Mumbai, he’s been living in Gurgaon for last four years with his family. He started his career as a Bond trader with a Bond House in Delhi and also worked with a Bank in Benguluru and Mumbai before shifting back to Gurgaon after twelve years.

A double Post Graduate – an MBA in Finance and a Masters in Finance & Control, Vikas has been a young achiever and carries keen interest in Financial Markets, International Economics & Politics and Sports. 

An avid reader across subject range, Vikas is also a professional writer primarily into fiction and also pursues Psephology as a hobby. ‘Rewards of a Shortchanged Life – a twisted Saga of Love, Money & Power’ is second in the ‘Shortchanged series’ that he has written to explain financial markets in a fictionalised set up, highlighting the hidden tempests in the life of a market professional.

If ROSL is created in backdrop of Bond markets, his other (unpublished) work ‘When Life Shortchanged Me’ which happened to be the first of his writing was created in backdrop of Capital (equities) market.

While he is into reading and writing about financial markets and fiction, “Khamosh Ehsaas” happened to be his maiden attempt at writing poetry wherein he has tried to bring out various aspects of life, relationships and underlying emotions through his nazms some of which are situation based impromptu creations. 

He has no prior connect to poetry and / or literature but a passion he developed through accidental penning down of thoughts during lockdown phase, sitting on the terrace of his high rise apartment and this makes the title “The accidental poet” apt for Vikas.

Vikas has an uncanny knack of taking readers on the high and then dropping them off into a free falling trough and that makes his style of writing unique. He has the ability to foresee the future and incidentally what all he had captured in ‘When Life Shortchanged Me’ had a close resemblance to real life events which he was oblivious of, when he had written that.

Encouraged by the success of projecting reality he tried his hand at ROSL which has turned out to be a story of lifetime for him and now he is an acclaimed writer who can weave a story on a combination of events in financial markets, spicing them up with an element of romance and romance can be tragic as well as happy.
