Early Life
Amulya Malladi was born in 1974 in a small town called Sagar, in the central state of Madhya Pradesh in India. Due to Malladi's father's occupation in the Indian Army, Amulya lived all over the country ranging from the Himalayan foothills to the southern city of Madras.
At the age of 11, when she found herself immersed in a world of goblins, pixies and fairies in the works of Enid Blyton, she wrote her first handwritten book of 50 pages. She once said that her affection and affinity towards writing influenced her academic choices. Though she first earned her Bachelor's degree in electrical and electronics engineering from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India, she followed it up with a Master's degree in journalism from University of Memphis, Tennessee. After gaining the journalism degree, she worked as a copy writer and a marketing manager for a software company in Silicon Valley, California.
Malladi currently resides in Denmark with her husband and two sons. She has said that "When I first moved to Denmark... Danish sounded to me like the buzzing of bees".
