About This Podcast
In this gripping episode, Mohua sits down with author and master storyteller Anurag Tripathi to discuss his latest thriller, The Goa Gambit—a novel that plunges readers into the glamorous yet dangerous world of Goa’s casinos.
Set against this high-stakes backdrop, The Goa Gambit is more than a casino caper. It’s a fast-paced tale woven with suspense, moral ambiguity, and a central character—Jayesh Shah—who is equal parts rogue and romantic. Through Jayesh’s choices, Anurag probes themes of greed, loyalty, and the personal costs of ambition.
The episode also touches on Anurag’s writing journey—from studying screenwriting with Aaron Sorkin to drawing from his diverse professional life across business, art, and finance. With cinematic flair and razor-sharp insight, Anurag reveals how research, observation, and lived experience converge in his work.
A must-listen for fans of thrillers, character-driven fiction, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into how stories come alive.
