Shuchi Singh wears many hats — author, brand strategist, and mental health coach — all tied together by her passion for storytelling. With a natural instinct for connecting deeply with audiences, her work spans fiction, marketing communications, and speaking engagements that inspire, provoke, and entertain.
As an author, Shuchi has carved a niche in women-centric fiction, with six widely acclaimed books. Her literary career took off with her debut novel, "Done with Men," published in 2014 by Indireads. This romantic comedy not only became an Amazon bestseller but also set a new tone for Indian chick-lit with its sharp wit and relatable characters. Its sequel “Done with Love” published by Rupa in 2019 was equally successful. Her second novel, "I am Big. So What!?," released in 2016 by Fingerprint Publishing, was ground-breaking for its body-positive message, earning praise for addressing body shaming through a narrative that was both empowering and entertaining.
Her third venture into fiction, "A Cage of Desires," published by Penguin Random House India, explored themes of love, desire, and self-discovery, expanding her genre into erotica with the same flair for character development and narrative depth that her readers have come to expect. Shuchi's books are not only commercial successes but also critical ones, often highlighted for their social commentary wrapped in humor and romance. All her novels have garnered praise for their relatable characters, fresh perspectives and themes of women empowerment, making her a powerful voice in contemporary Indian fiction. She has been featured by Femina, Cosmopolitan, SheThePeople, Hindustan Times, Mumbai Mirror, Women’s Web and many other platforms.
Beyond fiction, Shuchi is a strong mental health advocate. With a background in psychology, she uses her platform to raise awareness and normalize conversations around mental health, relationships and the general conundrums of modern living through her podcast ‘Bluntly Yours’.
On Twitter and Instagram, where she goes by @theshuchisingh, Shuchi has cultivated a significant following, engaging her audience with witty, thought-provoking posts on life and social issues. Her presence on social media not only promotes her work but also establishes her as an influential voice on topics like mental health and women's rights, making her one of the top women authors to follow as listed on Women’s Web. Her commitment to using her platform for positive social impact is evident in her open DMs for those struggling with mental health, showcasing a personal touch that extends beyond her writing.

She is also a familiar voice at major literary events, having spoken at the Shimla Literature Festival, Noida Lit Fest, Gurgaon Literature Festival, Phoenix Literature Festival, VESIM Literary Fest, Jagran Samvadi, Hoshiarpur Literary Society, sharing insights on storytelling, culture, and mental well-being. Her recent foray into podcasting adds another dimension to her storytelling repertoire, sparking conversations that matter.

Academically, Shuchi brings a rare interdisciplinary perspective. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Optometry from BITS Pilani, complemented by dual master’s degrees—a Master of Arts in English Literature and a Master of Science in Psychology. This fusion of science and humanities informs her writing with unique analytical depth and empathetic understanding, making her voice both authoritative and relatable.

With a career spanning almost two decades in content strategy and communications, she now leads brand initiatives for a prominent hospital chain and has previously worked with notable names like MakeMyTrip and Apollo 24|7. During her freelance years, she has had bylines in Indian and international publications including Femina, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan and more.

Bonobology: a wonderful platform for storytellers

Hello people! Wanted to share with you all, this cool space that I came across on relationship discussions. Titled Bonobology, it has engaging (judgement free) stories and discussions on love (all kinds of love) and how it affects us. I was pleasantly surprised to find so many relationship issues covered under one umbrella. Apart from marriage-divorce, break up or sexual problems, they have storie Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Shuchi Singh (Kalra) (?)

“I have made mistakes—mighty big ones at that. Not the kind that would cause a national fiscal deficit a-la Manmohan Singh or ruin some unassuming person’s life, but the kind that makes you go into face palm mode and want to die every time you are reminded of them.”
― Shuchi Singh Kalra, Done With Men

“Just what I was afraid of—now I was his pet clown girl…you don’t date clown girls and you definitely don’t fall in love with them. Clown girls are like the caricatures in a Bollywood movie—I’ll never be his leading lady.”

“I think he’s marking his territory…it’s a very alpha thing, you know,’ suggested the Thought Bubble and I decided that I quite liked the idea. His territory. I’m now his ‘territory’! It sounded sweet, in a very primeval, Neanderthal kind of way.”

Shuchi’s Quotes

“I have advice for people who want to write. I don't care whether they're 5 or 500. There are three things that are important: First, if you want to write, you need to keep an honest, unpublishable journal that nobody reads, nobody but you. Where you just put down what you think about life, what you think about things, what you think is fair and what you think is unfair. And second, you need to read. You can't be a writer if you're not a reader. It's the great writers who teach us how to write. The third thing is to write. Just write a little bit every day. Even if it's for only half an hour — write, write, write.”
― Madeleine L'Engle

“The trick to a satisfying relationship is the same as the one for satisfying sex—thrust, hold, withdraw, pause. Repeat. Too fast or too much invariably spoils the fun.”

“Not just Ricky, all my past relationships with men had been like a spate of pesky diseases—each more formidable than the other. It was almost as if I had run a ‘sucky boyfriends marathon’ or something, and won.”
