About the book

Names changed. Cringe intact.

Have you ever jumped onto the back of a stranger’s bike, shouted “Chal chal chal!” and only then noticed the wrong helmet? Bijal Khatiwala has.

Korporate Komedies collects 36 real-ish stories from bank branches, boardrooms, interview panels, hospital wards and office WhatsApp groups. There’s a VP who turns into a potato on the bonus call, a National Head who learns that Excel isn’t so basic in front of the CEO, and a candidate who brings his Mummy to the job interview. Within ten minutes, she is his salary negotiator.

Every story comes with its own doodle and a moral you won’t find in any HR manual. Dedicated to all Corporate Zombies… Ooops! Corporate Professionals.

Real-ish. They are based on real incidents from Bijal’s own career and from friends and colleagues, fictionalised for comedy. Every name has been changed and the situations lightly exaggerated.

Who is this book for?

Anyone who has ever worked in an office, survived a review meeting or typed into the wrong WhatsApp group. Bankers will feel especially seen.

Can I order copies for my team?

Yes. Send a bulk enquiry with the number of copies and we’ll come back with pricing and delivery details.

I have a funny office story. Can I send it?

Please do. Bijal collects them, and the best ones might make it into a future volume. Names are always changed.
