"Zidd! is a big-hearted, full-on, laugh-out-loud comedy-drama — and an easy, breezy read."

Zidd! follows the chaotic startup journey of two nineteen-year-olds — Vihaan, a college dropout, and his friend Parth, a jobless hustler — as they become India's favourite bad example. Uncles know Raina's wedding date better than their own anniversaries. Aunties try saying antar-prerna-ship.

What the story is about:

When Raina swears never to see Vihaan again, he pledges to put his face on every hoarding in Ahmedabad — so on the day she drives to her wedding, he’s everywhere she looks.

He needs 100 hoardings. Worth ₹10 crore. In 1 year. Without selling his kidneys, of course.

Grew up on 3 Idiots? Love TVF Pitchers? Then Zidd! is for you — a feel-good Bollywood ride in novel form, packed with deadpan jokes, startup chaos, a deeply emotional story of friendship, and a father-son arc that may just leave you in tears.

Vihaan and Parth start with thirty-five rupees. They invest it in Maggi bhajiya. Then they ask Claude for a business idea that can change the world by October. Claude wants ₹2,399 for a subscription first.

How will Vihaan and Parth earn ₹10,00,02,399?

Is Zidd a true story?

No — Vihaan and Parth are fictional. But the world they hustle through is very real: the hoarding business, the rejections, the jugaad, and the arithmetic of starting up in India with nothing but nerve. Readers who have ever chased something everyone told them was too big will recognise a lot of themselves in it.
