Biography
Emmy-nominated writer, producer, New York Times best-selling author, director, actor, and Tony Award-winner Mindy Kaling has been named one of the brightest voices of her generation. At 24, Kaling joined the eight-person writing staff at NBC’s The Office. During her eight seasons at the show, she wrote twenty-three episodes (far more than any other writer) and was nominated for an Emmy—the first for a woman of color in any writing category.
Next, Kaling created The Mindy Project for Universal Television, a show that she starred in and executive produced. Kaling wrote 24 episodes of the 117 episodes created for the six-season series.
Mindy received the Producers Guild of America’s Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television. The same year, she was honored with the National Medal of Arts by the White House, the highest award given to artists and arts patrons by the federal government. Kaling was named to the Time 100 Most Influential People in the World List, and her company, Kaling International, was later named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential Companies. She was honored with a Glamour Women of the Year Award and was an ELLE Women In Hollywood honoree.
Kaling released the critically acclaimed series Never Have I Ever for Netflix, which wrapped its fourth and final season. Season 1 reached 40 million homes in its first four weeks of release. Kaling is also the co-creator and Executive Producer of The Sex Lives of College Girls, which had the biggest premiere of any comedy on HBO Max.
Kaling's latest Netflix comedy, Running Point, stars Kate Hudson and is loosely based on the life of Jeanie Buss, President of the Los Angeles Lakers and an Executive Producer on the project.
In between all her ventures, Kaling has released two New York Times best-selling comedic memoirs: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) and Why Not Me?, and she released a collection of essays in partnership with Amazon called Nothing Like I Imagined. Kaling launched her imprint for Amazon Publishing, Mindy's Book Studio, with the mission of publishing titles from new and emerging diverse voices.
