The daughter of an Indian Foreign Service bureaucrat, Anusuya Hazra spent many years of her childhood in Canada and England, and much of her youth across various other countries, such as Libya and Germany. After passing the GCE ‘O’ level exams from England, she returned to India and graduated from Miranda House, Delhi University. This was followed with a post-graduation in English and a Bachelor of Education degree from Jadavpur and Calcutta University respectively.

Anusuya shuttles between Delhi and Kolkata, spending much of her time writing and pursuing her other loves - reading, sketching and handicrafts.
