A leading Indian banking and financial services company, wanted to compile a bunch of case studies and anecdotes about bank frauds as a tribute to a retiring vice president of the bank in the form of a storybook. This book was to be distributed among the employees of the bank as part of the vice president’s farewell.

I decided to adopt a treatment similar to childrens’ storybooks with colourful illustrations to tackle the seemingly mundane world of bank frauds and make it as fun and interesting as possible. 

The book was loved by the employees and has become a much sought after item among them.
