Early life

Career

Dalmia worked as an editor for some time before writing her first novel. Life is Perfect was launched in Delhi, with Dalmia giving a panel discussion about the book. The story is about how complex relationships are, touching on ideas about monogamy and polyamory. The story also focuses on modern life in Delhi, with a young woman as the protagonist.

Dalmia is also a children's book expert and her first children's book is under publication by Harper Collins India.

Dalmia headed one of her family businesses for many years, a premium foods company which popularized the usage of olive oil and canola oil for cooking in India.

Her interest in baby sleep, children's literature and early childhood development emerged after the birth of her own children, which set her down a path of research and awareness creation for this important but neglected subject.

Dalmia is also an Indian classical musician, disciple of Vidushi Malti Gilani in the style of the Patiala-Kasur Gharana.
