Vinod Kottayil is an author, poet, publisher, personality development trainer, and consultant working in marketing, business consultancy and entrepreneurship.

He was the founder and chief editor of Mentor — Suhruthum Vazhikattiyum (Mentor — A Friend and Guide), the first personality development magazine in Malayalam. He is the author of four books, including a collection of poetry. His editorial column in Mentor, known for its distinct style, was widely appreciated by readers, and the magazine helped discover and encourage many new writers. He has been involved in publishing more than sixty books.

One of his main interests — as an author, trainer and consultant — is making complex ideas clear, engaging and accessible to ordinary readers and learners.

24 Codes reflects this wide-ranging curiosity. Blending storytelling, research, technology, history, culture, psychology and philosophy, the book goes beyond giving information — it encourages readers to ask new questions and see things from fresh angles.

“A good book does not end by giving the final answer; it begins a new journey in the reader's mind.”
