Naveen Maremanda

Hi there! My name is Naveen Maremanda, and I'm the author of the book "The World of Sathvik and his Friends." I grew up in Hyderabad, India, and from a young age, I've always had a passion for storytelling and visual expressions. When I was just 10 years old, I began learning classical animation, and by the time I was in college, I had already begun creating animated children's stories and rhymes that became popular in the early 2000s.

After finishing college, I decided to take a break from the creative world and dove into a career in the IT industry. But even as I was working in a leading software company, I couldn't shake my love for storytelling. Eventually, I decided to return to my roots and start writing again.

I got my inspiration for "The World of Sathvik and his Friends" from my own son, Sathvik, and my experiences as a father watching him grow up. I wanted to create a story that would entertain and inspire children like him.

I am thankful to my parents Maremanda Seetha Ramaiah, who is a well-known journalist in Telugu news papers and my mother Ratna Kumari a home maker, for their support and encouragement throughout my journey as a writer. And of course, I am eternally grateful to my wife Vishnu Priya for her unwavering support and love.

I hope you enjoyed reading "The World of Sathvik and his Friends" as much as I enjoyed writing it, and I look forward to sharing more stories with you in the future. So stay tuned, there are many more adventures to come!
