Fantastic story. :) Having grown up in Bangalore, I loved the settings on Brigade Road and Church Street. That’s the first place I go to now when I visit. :)

Love the vibe of this story. Very noir. More please! Raghav and Harpreet feel like they have a novel's worth of story in them.

Also, CIA getting involved in the training contracts handed out by London firms is class haha!

Yay was very much going for noir, glad it's coming through! CIA x London firms somehow feels like the least amount of creative licence I've taken here haha. Thank you so much for reading Rohan!
