Interview with Rajat Chohda from Punjab, India: From Global Entrepreneurship to The Divine Flow of Satyuga

At AuthorsWiki, we are pleased to connect with Rajat Chohda, an Indian author, thinker, and entrepreneur from Punjab, India, whose journey from studying across Europe to building a technology company in the Netherlands eventually led him back to his hometown of Pathankot with a new purpose—exploring consciousness, truth, and the way people experience life beyond inherited beliefs.

Rajat studied in Italy, France, and Bulgaria before moving to the Netherlands on a highly skilled migrant visa, where he founded his own IT company while his wife worked at Prada. Earlier in his career, he also worked as an Admission Officer for Advent Group. Today, he describes his work as building ideas, businesses, and meaningful conversations that can genuinely improve people’s lives.

His debut book, The Divine Flow of Satyuga: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace, Freedom, and Living Without Expectations, presents Satyuga not as a religious concept but as a universal state of consciousness available to every human being. Rather than asking readers to adopt another belief system, Rajat encourages them to question everything—including his own ideas—and discover truth through personal observation and experience.

In this conversation with AuthorsWiki, Rajat Chohda shares how curiosity shaped his writing, why he believes one truthful page is worth more than a hundred written for the sake of productivity, and why he considers his first book to be both his first and last.

AuthorsWiki: Apart from writing, what is your occupation for livelihood?

Rajat Chohda: I don’t call myself just an author because writing happened naturally. My background is in fashion and business. I studied in Italy, France, and Bulgaria, and later moved to the Netherlands on a highly skilled migrant visa. I started my own IT company there while my wife was working at Prada. Before that, I also worked as an Admission Officer for Advent Group.

Today, I don’t look at occupations in the traditional way. I see myself as someone who builds ideas, businesses, and conversations that can genuinely improve people’s lives. Writing is one part of that journey. My real work is observing life, understanding people, and creating things that make a positive difference.

AuthorsWiki: Tell us something about your first book.

Rajat Chohda: The Divine Flow of Satyuga (Age of Truth): A Practical Guide to Inner Peace, Freedom, and Living Without Expectations is not a religious book, and it is not about asking people to follow a new belief system. It is simply an invitation to observe life as it is.

Since childhood, I kept asking questions that nobody could answer. Why do we believe what we believe? Why are people rich but unhappy, while some people with very little are peaceful? Why is there so much conflict, comparison, and suffering?

Instead of accepting ready-made answers, I spent years observing people, travelling, studying different cultures, and experimenting with life myself.

This book is the result of that journey. Satyuga (Age of Truth) is not about one religion. For me, it represents a state where human beings live with awareness, freedom, responsibility, and truth. If the book helps even one person understand life better and become happier without hurting anyone else, I feel it has served its purpose.

AuthorsWiki: Would you like to tell us about your published books?

Rajat Chohda: At the moment, I have published one book: The Divine Flow of Satyuga (Age of Truth): A Practical Guide to Inner Peace, Freedom, and Living Without Expectations.

I never planned to become an author. I simply started writing the ideas that kept coming to me through observation and life experiences. This book is the foundation of a much bigger vision. I believe it is the beginning of many conversations that can help people think more clearly, live more consciously, and understand themselves beyond fear, expectations, and conditioning.

AuthorsWiki: Where did you get the inspiration for publishing books?

Rajat Chohda: I never woke up thinking, “I want to become an author.” I simply couldn’t ignore the questions that kept coming to me. Every place I travelled, every culture I experienced, every conversation I had made me realize that human beings are searching for the same thing—peace, happiness, and freedom.

Writing became the easiest way to organize those thoughts and share them with others. Publishing the book was never about becoming famous or selling books. It was about making sure these ideas could outlive me and continue reaching people long after I’m gone.

AuthorsWiki: How do you manage your time to write a book?

Rajat Chohda: I don’t believe writing only happens when you sit in front of a laptop. Most of my writing happened while living life. I carry ideas with me everywhere. Sometimes they come while travelling, cooking, walking, talking to people, or simply sitting quietly.

When an idea feels true, I write it down immediately. Later, I connect those ideas together. I don’t force myself to write a certain number of pages every day. I wait until I genuinely have something meaningful to say. I believe one truthful page is far more valuable than a hundred pages written just to fill space.

AuthorsWiki: What is your favorite writing method—the one in which you write the most?

Rajat Chohda: I don’t have a fixed writing method. I mostly write whenever an idea feels true. I use my phone more than anything because ideas can come while I’m travelling, cooking, walking, or talking to someone. I immediately note them down before they disappear.

Later, I connect those ideas together like pieces of a puzzle. I don’t believe in writing just to finish a chapter. I write only when I genuinely have something meaningful to share.

AuthorsWiki: When did you start writing, and how did your interest in writing begin?

Rajat Chohda: I never planned to become a writer. Since childhood, I was always curious. I used to question everything, especially the things people accepted without asking why. My parents never had answers to many of my questions, so I started searching for them myself. I travelled, studied in different countries, met people from different cultures, and kept observing life.

During the COVID period, I started writing those observations and ideas. What began as personal notes slowly became a book. I didn’t start with the intention of publishing; I simply wanted to understand life better.

AuthorsWiki: Is there any special achievement in your life that you would like to share with us and your readers?

Rajat Chohda: For me, the biggest achievement is not an award or a title. It is having the courage to leave a comfortable life and follow what truly mattered to me. After studying abroad, moving to the Netherlands, and starting my own IT company, I realized that I wanted to come back to my roots. I left everything behind and returned to India to be with my family and dedicate my life to this vision.

Of course, I am grateful that The Divine Flow of Satyuga (Age of Truth) became a Finalist in the 2026 International Book Awards, but I believe the real achievement will be the day this work genuinely helps people live happier, freer, and more conscious lives.

AuthorsWiki: Are you planning to write or publish a book in the present or future?

Rajat Chohda: This is both my first and my last book. I don’t plan to write another one because I believe everything I wanted to say is already here. The Divine Flow of Satyuga (Age of Truth) is not just a book for me; it is the foundation of a lifelong mission. From now on, my focus is not on publishing more books but on living these ideas, having meaningful conversations, and helping people understand them through real-life experiences. If I ever create something in the future, it will simply be a different way of sharing the same truth, not another book.

AuthorsWiki: Would you like to give a message to your readers and fans?

Rajat Chohda: Life is much more beautiful than we have been taught to believe. Don’t accept anything blindly, not even my words. Question everything, observe everything, and find your own truth. Freedom begins the moment you stop living through fear, expectations, and other people’s beliefs.

My only request is simple, be happy, don’t hurt yourself, and don’t hurt anyone else. The rest of life will naturally fall into place.

AuthorsWiki: Every writer has their own ideal. Do you also have an ideal writer? And what are your favorite books that you always want to read?

Rajat Chohda: Honestly, I don’t have an ideal writer. I respect everyone who writes with honesty, but I never wanted my thoughts to be influenced by someone else’s philosophy. I wanted to see life with my own eyes. That’s why I read people more than books. Every human being has a story, and every culture teaches something. If I read, I enjoy books that make me question life rather than tell me what to believe.

AuthorsWiki: Apart from writing, what are your other hobbies that you enjoy in your free time?

Rajat Chohda: I love travelling, observing people, riding my motorcycle, spending time in nature, and having deep conversations about life. I enjoy exploring different cultures, walking without a destination, sitting quietly with mountains or rivers, and simply watching how people live. Most of my ideas come from living life, not from sitting at a desk.

AuthorsWiki: Would you like to remain in the writing world in the future as well?

Rajat Chohda: Writing will always be a part of me, but I don’t see myself as someone who wants to keep publishing books. As I have said before, this is my first and last book. My focus now is to bring these ideas into real life through conversations, communities, and experiences.

If writing helps that mission, I will continue writing articles, journals, or anything meaningful, but I don’t plan to publish another book. My mission is not to become a writer; my mission is to help humanity understand itself better.
