🖋️ Vijayendra Mohanty is a Storyteller and an Essayist
Vijayendra Mohanty is the co-creator of the comic book series Ravanayan, which was the story of the Ramayana from the point of view of Ravana, its chief antagonist. He also wrote for and ran the YouTube channel Epified, which was about Indian mythology, philosophy, history, and folklore. You may have also seen Epified videos on TV’s Epic Channel.
This website is home to his podcast Vimoh IRL and his email newsletter where he covers media, culture, and creativity; and much else that lies at the intersection of tech and society.
The author also publishes videos in Hindi on YouTube on his personal YouTube channel. He used to be regular on Twitter and Instagram but is not present on any social media platforms anymore on account of the fact that these are literal hellholes designed to sap life, joy, and creativity from the human mind. He also used to run a live debate / discussion podcast series called Vimoh Live which ran for three years and was concluded in December 2024.
When he is not writing essays or recording podcasts, he spends his time reading science fiction and fantasy novels and books about culture and technology.
