Ajay Venu Periganssery

അജയ് വേണു പെരിങ്ങാശ്ശേരി

Founder and director, Nalla Malayalam

Ajay Venu is a teacher first. Born in Peringassery in Idukki, he studied English literature at Newman College, Thodupuzha, went on to postgraduate degrees in both Malayalam and English, and trained as a teacher with a B.Ed. He has taught at Al-Azhar College in Thodupuzha, Nirmala Public School in Karimannoor and St. Antony’s Higher Secondary School.

He brings those years in the classroom to Nalla Malayalam, writing poems and stories that make children want to read their mother tongue. 7 of the books on our shelves are his. He also directs the Socrates Academy Finishing School and works as a personality trainer, screenwriter and film director.

Active in Kerala’s cultural life, he is a council member of the Purogamana Kala Sahitya Sangham and its Idukki district joint secretary, president of the Puzha cultural forum, a member of the Sabhala editorial board and an ASAP trainer.

His books and full story

What we believe

Books children come back to.

  • Read by us first

    Every title on our shelves has been read by a parent or teacher on the team before it is listed.

  • Malayalam, made joyful

    Stories that make children want to read in their mother tongue, not feel they have to.

  • Illustration matters

    We look for books worth lingering over, with pictures that hold a child’s attention.

  • Packed with care

    Books shipped from Muvattupuzha within a day, wrapped so they arrive as they left us.

വായിക്കുന്ന കുട്ടികൾ, ചിന്തിക്കുന്ന മുതിർന്നവരാകുന്നു.

Children who read grow into adults who think. The reason we do this.
