Biography from the 2025 festival collection.

Divya Prakash Dubey is a prominent contemporary Hindi author, lyricist and storyteller whose works have brought a refreshing modern sensibility to Hindi literature. Hailing from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, he began his professional journey as an engineer and management graduate but soon turned toward his true calling; writing. His narratives, known for their realism and emotional depth, beautifully portray the everyday experiences of urban India i.e. the complexities of love, ambition, identity, and belonging. Among his most acclaimed works are Terms & Conditions Apply, Masala Chai, October Junction, and Ibnebatuti, all of which reflect his ability to blend simplicity with profound insight. Apart from his literary contributions, Divya Prakash Dubey has also established himself as a lyricist and performer who has revitalized Hindi storytelling for contemporary audiences. Through his popular Kahani Café sessions, YouTube performances, and appearances at literary festivals, he has encouraged young readers and listeners to rediscover the beauty and emotional richness of the Hindi language. With his distinct narrative voice that bridges the gap between tradition and modernity, Dubey continues to shape the evolving landscape of Indian literature and inspire a new generation of readers.

दिव्य प्रकाश दुबे : शब्दों के नवप्रवर्तक लखनऊ की मिट्टी से उठे दिव्य प्रकाश दुबे आज की हिंदी कथा-संवेदना के तेजस्वी स्वर हैं। अभियंता और प्रबंधक के रूप में आरंभ हुआ उनका जीवन शब्दों की साधना में रूपांतरित हुआ। उनके लेखन में महानगरों के जीवन-संघर्ष, प्रेम, आकांक्षा और पहचान की धड़कन सजीव हो उठती है। Terms & Conditions Apply, Masala Chai, October Junction और Ibnebatuti जैसी कृतियाँ उनकी सरल भाषा और गहन दृष्टि का प्रमाण हैं। कथाकार ही नहीं, वे गीतकार और मंच-संचारक भी हैं जिन्होंने Kahani Café और जनमंचों पर हिंदी कथा-कला को नया युग दिया। उनकी वाणी में यथार्थ की ज्वाला है जो परंपरा और आधुनिकता के बीच पुल बनाती है।
