I am a novelist, journalist and screenwriter.

I am also the creator of the Netflix series, ‘Decoupled’.

I used to write a column for The New York Times, and now write a weekly column in the Mint. I have created this website to see if a particular kind of journalism and literary work, and eventually short films, can commercially sustain themselves.
bymanujoseph.com is a media website that would feature my creative or journalistic work and the works of other artists and journalists.
