When young engineer Pranay Kulkarni joins the Department of Administrative Simplification, he expects to fix a broken system. Instead, he discovers a world of endless committees, empty files, pointless meetings, and ambitious officials who have mastered the art of appearing productive without getting anything done.
The Department of Important Nothings is a witty, sharply observed satire of bureaucracy, ambition, and institutional absurdity. Beneath its humour lies a timeless question: can one honest decision change a system designed to avoid making any?
