the Grammatical Zero: A fast paced Indian thriller. Four people, one ancient grammar and world hanging in balance.

Dr. Vikram Adve, a computational linguist at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, accidentally discovers the cryptographic potential hidden in Panini's 2,500-year-old Sanskrit grammar Ashtadhyayi. In only four seconds, he breaks the world's toughest encryption which is the backbone of cyber security. Before he can grasp what he has achieved, the state is at his door. He escapes with Ishani Varma to the deep gold mines of Kolar, where a ninety-year-old engineer has been tending to a fifty-year-old secret. What starts as a desperate escape from the country's most powerful people soon turns into a mission to save the world from Vikram's creation. The Grammatical Zero is a thriller about ancient wisdom clashing with modern risks. Four unlikely people must decide if the most powerful tool ever made should be used, shared, or hidden forever.
