Virginia-based publishing house Indignor House has introduced Indian-origin author Reenita Malhotra Hora as its newest author. Hora is also a screenwriter, novelist and audio producer, and is known for her female-driven comedy, 'Operation Mom'. The book has bagged her Eric Hoffer Book Award grand prize, a Chanticleer International Book Award grand prize, and a Santa Barbara Screenplay Award.

As a journalist, Hora has contributed to several media houses including, Bloomberg, Reuters, South China Morning Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, CNN, Asian Investor, Times of India, Rolling Stone, Economic Times, National Geographic Kids, Cartoon Network Asia, and Disney. She has also been an on-air news reporter and producer at Bloomberg, RTHK Radio 3, Monocle Radio, and the BBC.

Her novel, “Operation Mom,” is a coming-of-age young adult novel about a seventeen-year-old Ila Isham with serious problems, the publishing house said in its statement.

Hora was born and brought up in Bombay (Mumbai), India. "I grew up in a classic 'bhel puri' culture, one in which the end product tastes only as good as the sum of its parts mashed together with a bug or two for good measure. Passionate about storytelling the narrative of my culture, my fiction reflects the South Asian experience," the author says.

In her career, she has served as head of marketing at SRI International, Silicon Valley's pioneer science and deep tech research institute, vice principal of content at Hibooks/Otto Radio producer/presenter for Bloomberg and award-winning host for RTHK Radio 3 in Hong Kong. Hora founded and then sold Ayoma, a health and wellness brand, and has written seven books: five non-fiction and two fiction.
