It is the same person. This page puts the facts in one place, with sources, so you do not have to piece them together.

The trilogy is set in 3700 BCE Bharatvarsha, centuries after the Ramayana, and it asks one question: what happened after the war? At its heart are the Aksha Mani, five living stones. The lead character, Dhruv, is the last Shastradhari of the Mountain Tribe, raised between Mansarovar and Kailash.
It is fiction built on mythology, not a retelling of scripture. The divine weapons in the story, such as Lord Ram’s bow and Ravana’s sword, come from the epic tradition, but the tribes, the stones and what happens to the weapons after the Ramayana are story ideas from the trilogy. The FAQ explains how to tell the two apart.
If you want the mythology behind the weapons first, start with the story of Kodanda, Lord Ram’s bow and how Ravana got the Chandrahasa sword.
Yes, he is one of its two founders. Business Today reports that Sunil Chandra Saha and Nitesh Singh, who met in 2011 in their first jobs in Chennai, founded Blue Tea in 2018 with ₹50,000 each. YourStory describes Blue Tea as a Kolkata-based brand and dates its incorporation to 2017.
Blue Tea is best known for caffeine-free tea made from butterfly pea flowers (aparajita), the drink that turns blue in the cup. Over time it has grown into a range of herbal and flower blends.
He has written about this journey himself in how he bootstrapped Blue Tea while writing the Weapon of Ram trilogy.
Slowly, and over several years. In his own account, writing came first: he trained in drawing for almost five years in school, enjoyed storytelling in college and wrote poems and short stories from 2011. When Blue Tea started, that habit went into the business. He wrote packaging text, Amazon listings, ad copy and Instagram captions himself.
One line from that post sums up the early days: “I designed our early packaging on PowerPoint.” The trilogy was written over several years alongside the company.
Yes. In May 2026, the international lifestyle and literature magazine Voraka ran an interview with him about the trilogy and the thinking behind it. You can read about it in the Voraka magazine feature. His work with Blue Tea has been covered by Business Today and YourStory.
Every Ramayana I know ends with the war won and Ram returning to Ayodhya. The question I kept asking was the one after that: what happened next, and what became of the divine weapons? Weapon of Ram is my answer, told as fiction and kept clearly apart from scripture.
Book I, Secret of Aksha Mani: Tribes of Weapon of Ram Trilogy, is out now in print and on Kindle. Raavan of Persia is scheduled for Diwali 2026 and Rebel Gods of Pyramids for Diwali 2027. If you enjoy Indian mythology fiction, I hope you will give it a try.
