Shammeer, Chandru

Shammeer Munvar Sultan was born and raised in Chennai. After graduating from College of Engineering, Guindy, he joined a well known MNC as a software engineer. The love failure experienced by his best friends inspired him to write short and simple Tamil novels which were lapped up by youngsters all over Tamil Nadu. Neon Nagaram, the Tamil novel from which You Stole My Song has been adapted, is his second novel and is soon to be made into a feature film in Tamil. An avid pianist, Shammeer is also one of the founders of Paadhai, a creative group formed to express emotions through writing and music. He has pioneered the idea of the musical novel. Chandru aka Chandrakasan S. grew up in Bhilai and graduated from College of Engineering, Guindy. Being Shammeer's partner in crime right from college days, Chandru had no other choice but to join Paadhai. Working full time as a software engineer with another well-known MNC, he is the CFO of Paadhai in his free time and manages all its business activities. He started adapting Neon Nagaram into You Stole My Song after much coaxing by team Paadhai.
