FOR all our billion-strong population, 620 million of whom can officially read, India is hardly commercially viable territory for the workaday novelist. The typical Indian "bestseller" sells between 3,000 and 5,000 copies; a true success is one that remains in print for years, with successive reprints of 2000 copies or so every nine or twelve months. In this modest market, One Night @ the Call Center has reportedly sold over 1,00,000 copies in the two months since its publication, and the demand shows no sign of letting up.

One night was Chetan Bhagat's first book. I think he has come out with a new one now. Also heard that there is a movie being made on One night...
Interestingly Chetan Bhagat had started off as an investment banker after completing IIMA.
