Cybber: A Heist...Money Was Not the Only Reason (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789353212919)

Inside a tiny suburban apartment of Mumbai, Subramaniyan Chetti has decided to relocate to Delhi. Equipped with an interview letter from a global conglomerate, Subby had always known that the job was his and he would eventually get to his dream destination of USA.

Sametime, in Kolkata, Joydeep Mukherjee had been living a blissful life as an assistant make-up artist for the movie industry while his heart was immersed in its one-sided love for actress Mithali. Delhi reckons him when Mithali chooses to relocate to the capital city.

Both meet up in TechnoNet Contact center. Subby has been relentlessly trying for his software job with no success. Joy continues his search for Mithali while he attends to calls from US customers. With Delhi turning out to be a city of no luck, both chose to relocate to Bangalore with a job from BayBank, the world's largest bank. There they meet up with Vikram Pinroe - trained by life, flawless brain. And then starts a life of evening pickups, cafeteria, smoking girls, parties, and bachelor drinking sessions.

The thriller traverses through an intriguing journey of an enigmatic world of call centers - an insider view of the challenges people face, the hectic nightlife, stress. Finding themselves on the larger canvas of a cosmopolitan city, they find youngsters around them having a better life and future plans. Soon recession sets in followed by job cuts en masse. They find to their dismay the 'not so good' getting retained and the sincere hardworking losing their jobs.

While they crib and complain, it happens to them too. Bouts of frustration, local bar alcohol sessions and an imminent wretched state of affairs compel Vikram to bare the closely guarded master plan he'd planned over years - A Cyber Heist.
