Meet Sameer Quraishi — The 20-Year-Old Author, Musician and Entrepreneur Redefining What It Means to Be a Young Indian Creator
Hindustan Bytes 
If you have been paying attention to the Indian digital and literary space, one name keeps surfacing — Sameer Quraishi. At just 20 years old, this young man from Nautanwa, Uttar Pradesh has simultaneously built a music career on Spotify and Apple Music, launched a digital marketing company, and now released a debut poetry book that has already found over 10,000 readers in its first week.
Nahi Lagti Ab Tum Kuch Meri is the title of Sameer's debut collection — a phrase that translates roughly to 'You no longer feel like mine.' It is a deeply personal work, drawing from the emotional landscape of young love, heartbreak, and growth. The book is available in both Kindle and Paperback format on Amazon, and has quickly become a topic of discussion in Indian reading communities online.
Beyond the book, Sameer's story is one of disciplined multi-tasking. He is the founder and director of Zargam Pvt. Ltd., a company with projects spanning digital marketing, packaged water manufacturing (Filter Water), and fintech research. He runs GrowSocialLife, a platform connecting brands with influencers across India. And he maintains active verified profiles on Spotify, Apple Music, Anghami, and YouTube Music as an independent recording artist.
His academic record further underlines his seriousness — a 94.6% aggregate in Class 12 from Delhi State Open School in 2023, with 96 in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Despite his many activities, Sameer has stayed focused and grounded, often attributing his success to discipline and a desire to make something real and lasting.
"I am not trying to be everything at once," he says. "Each thing I do — the music, the writing, the business — they all come from the same place inside me."
With a Wikipedia page, an IMDb listing, a verified Spotify presence, and now a published book to his name, Sameer Quraishi is steadily building an ecosystem of creative and entrepreneurial work that sets him apart from his peers.
