Achyuth A Rajeev

Achyuth was born in July 1990 in Kumbalanghi, a village in the Ernakulam district of Kerala. He completed his schooling at Kendriya Vidyalaya Cochin Port Trust and Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Kannamali. He is an alumnus of Cochin College.

As a student at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Achyuth did not have the opportunity to study Malayalam as a regular school subject. However, he learned basic reading and writing in malayalam while he attended the after-school classes organised by the school for students who wished to learn Malayalam.

It was during his college years that Achyuth developed a profound love for the Malayalam language and literature. His frequent visits to the college library opened up a new world of books and ideas. Until then, he had rarely read books beyond those prescribed in his academic curriculum. The discovery of literature became a turning point in his life, profoundly influencing his thoughts and outlook. From that point onwards, books and literature became an integral part of his world.

His literary journey began with the publication of his debut book, Thoovalkkanatholam, in 2020. Five years later, in 2025, he published his second book, Red Alert, marking another milestone in his journey as a writer. His life is an endless pilgrimage in pursuit of poetic beauty."
