Writing career[edit]

After writing as a blogger, Shenoy published her first book, 34 Bubblegums and Candies, a collection of short stories based on real-life incidents. [3]

Reception[edit]

Mishra from Times of India says about her book a 100 little flames, 'Shenoy develops these two characters beautifully, making both of men completely credible. Gopal Shankar, in particular, is the elderly relative all of us have in our families - grouchy and opinionated but, in this case, we are treated to a wonderful back story that explains exactly why this is the case.'[11]

Freepress Journal remarks about Wake Up Life is Calling 'You can actually feel the protagonist Ankita’s pain as the story proceeds. There were instances when the reader wanted to close the book because it was too daunting — a life so depressing. But as I kept ‘moving on’, I knew something would definitely change. Bipolar disorder — as scary as it may sound — is something which the author has broken down to simple bits for people to understand.'[12]

Cosmopolitan has described her as "one of India's most popular authors".[13]

Honors and awards[edit]

She was awarded an Indian of the Year award by Brands Academy[14] and also received a business excellence award from the New Delhi Management Institute.[15][16]
