Chetan Bhagat, one of India's most popular contemporary authors, has recently launched a new Audible series titled Silicon Valley, Idiots In Love. This Audible Original marks Bhagat's foray into the audio entertainment space, offering listeners a modern romantic comedy that explores ambition, love, and the challenges of navigating relationships in today's fast-paced world.
Silicon Valley, Idiots In Love tells the story of GK and Sonia, two ambitious students who meet at one of India's most prestigious universities. GK, described as intelligent and charming, finds that everything in life comes easily to him, except for Sonia, who becomes the object of his affection. Sonia, however, is primarily focused on her career. Despite her initial resistance, a connection develops between them. Their relationship faces a turning point when Sonia receives a big break in Bollywood, leading her and GK to embark on separate paths. GK channels his energies into a career in Silicon Valley, eventually becoming a successful entrepreneur. Years later, an alumni reunion brings them together again, raising questions about whether they can rekindle their romance and if it's possible to balance love and ambition in the modern world.
