Yashvardhan Shukla had started writing at the age of nine. He was inspired by renowned novelist R.L. Stine and his books in the goosebumps series. He completed his first manuscript at the age of 12 but dropped the idea soon. In 2013, his uncle, Anupam Shukla found his manuscript good and publishable and further inspired Yash. After being by three publishers, his manuscript was accepted by a newly found publishing house, The Readers Paradise. Success

His first novel, the Gods of Antarctica sold 5000 copies in the first two months. The book was critically acclaimed and Yashvardhan was interviewed by many media personnels. The Gods of Antarctica was reprinted in November.
