I'm curious about the author's background. Who is this 'Hemadpant' person mentioned at the end of every chapter?

The author addresses this exact question in Chapter 2, acknowledging that the name "Hemadpant" at the end of each chapter naturally makes readers curious. He promises to tell the story of how he received this name. Before telling the story itself, he describes his former self as mischievous, cynical, critical, and arrogant about his own knowledge. He had a logic-driven mind and was prone to argumentation, knowing nothing about the greatness of a Satguru. This background information sets the stage for the story of his naming, which is presented as a sub-story within the larger narrative of Sai's life, and is considered by the author to be an inspiration from Sai.
