For over a decade Pavan has been writing stories that his readers return to again and again — over 200 of them, read by thousands on Launchora and LinkedIn. Where Is God? is his first novel.
When nine-year-old Sahil asks “Where is God?” during a cricket match, no one expects a simple answer — least of all Sahil himself.
But the question has a life of its own. It unsettles grandparents and philosophers alike, surfaces stories of corruption and injustice that adults have long stopped questioning, and refuses to let anyone off the hook. Part fable, part social commentary, part love letter to the questions that never leave us — Where Is God? reminds us that the most profound searches often begin with the smallest voice in the room.
“Yesterday on way back from Salasar Bala Jee temple with family, Reeta said your story ‘Sachin with Pavan’ became Superhit.”

Pavan's writing has a way of reaching far beyond the page. One of his stories — a tender, imagined conversation between Radha and Krishna — was narrated on video by the storyteller Prerna, and found an audience all its own: over 3.1 million views and counting.
Pavan Datta is a serial entrepreneur who has spent his career betting on ideas before the world catches up. He founded Bharatnet in 1997, when most of India had never heard the word “internet,” and has since built ventures across electronics, real estate development, and most recently, beer — his brand Crisper is simply his most enjoyable venture yet.
Over the past decade he has published more than 200 stories on Launchora and LinkedIn, which have been read and loved by his thousands of followers from all over the world.
Where Is God? is his debut novel. He lives in Gurugram with his beautiful wife Reeta — the heroine of his love story, who has been by his side through every venture and every word.
