Saurav was born in Patna to a good family. His father is a businessman and his mother is a homemaker. He is the third of four siblings. His majority of school education was in Patna but in later years he went to boarding in Pilani, and then they all shifted to New Delhi. Even in school, he was fascinated with art and science.
Whenever he came to know about anything new like the possibility of new life on the planet or evolution or history, he used to do research and create a fictional story about it then tell that story to his close ones. He still does this. Science helps him to see the world that is unknown to him but art is what lets his thoughts and imagination travel. He was so obsessed with writing and art that he joined the school students council and became a school magazine editor in his high school years, even though he was a shy-natured kid. He was a good student, he did well in school but didn't like exams because then he had to go back and study what he already knows. His curiosity stumbles and bore him to death when he has to revise, and this gave his grades a major hit in board examinations. But it also allowed him to at least try a shot at his dreams. He left his mainstream education for becoming an engineer and joined art school. He also played football, semi-professionally.
